f.y t' Friday, M atch 28, 1947 HomeRepair PlansinCounty „ ProvideBigJob Greene county’s non—farm bome owners will spend an esti­ mated $1,037 000 on moderniza­ tion work during: 1947. A t least a third and probably more than half o f all dwellings in the county will be improved or repaired this year, according to estimates released by the tile council o f America. “ Increased supplies o f building materials and easing o f restrictions should make possible a record volume o f home modernization through­ out the country.” said F. B. Ort- man, chairman o f the council’s residential construction commit- , csr tee. The county’s 8,437 single-fam­ ily homes will account for most expenditures, the study revealed. Painting is the most often want­ ed improvement, with about a third o f all owners planning to redecorate home exteriors or some room of the interior. About 10 per cent of all dwellings need new roofs or roofing repairs, and large numbers will have water- pipes repaired, bathrooms tiled or showers installed during the year, according to the report. As evidence of the increase in building supplies, Ortman point­ ed out that floor and wall tile volume is expected to hit an all- time high this year. “ Stepped- up production of materials means that the construction industry can both build record numbers of houses and do the repair work neglected during the war,” he said. Home repair expenditures in the country are part of a $246,- 027,000 modernization program being undertaken in Ohio this year, according to the study. StormCloses Continued from Page One in bad shape and that many ears and trucks were stalled during the storm. The heavy rainfall washed away dirt and gravel around abutments to a temporary bridge over Shawnee Creek on Route 68, just outside the city Xenia limits, near the QSSO home, forcing detour of traffic over other streets. However, it was re­ ported the state highway depart­ ment had filled the washed-out ■“ holes and traffic was proceeding across the bridge again. A road. improvement project, including construction of a new bridge, is unde? way at that point. One bright spot in the sudden end o f spring was County Agent E. A. Drake’s report that the downpour, heavy as it was, is a welcome boon to farmers already thinking in terms o f spring plow­ ing. The sudden weather change is unlikely to effect seriously the early spring fruit crop here, he said since it is still the dormant stage.
