County Has Big Job
Ahead On Repairs
More than $461,000 is expected
to be spent during the next five
years by Cherorkree County home
owners on remodeling and repair
work.
The year 1946 promises to in
augurate one of the greatest eras
in American history for home re
pairs and modernization, according
to estimates released by the Tile
Council of America. "Pew develop
ments will contribute more to em
ployment and general prosperity
in any community," according to
R E. Jordan, chairman of the
Council's Residential Construction
Committee.
Because of lack of materials
and manpower during the war,
majority al the county's 4,229
dwelling units are in need of some
kind of repair or remodeling work.
Kitchen improvements and mod
ernization of bathrooms, installa
tion at tiled showers and in some
homes addition of a second bath
top the nation's list of most want
id major improvements, Jordan
said.
Outside paint jobs are needed
on more than 50 per cent of homes,
and addition of rooms and con
struction of parches also rank high
in remodeling plans, according to
the report. New roofing and heat
ing plants are required by many
dwellings.
Home owners in North Carolina
will sipend an estimated $89,870,000
and those of the nation more than
$5,500,000,000 for major repairs
Bbnc in the next five years, ac
cording to Jordan. Ample funds,
at low interest charges, are avail
able for such work through com
mercial banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions and
mutual .savings banks, he pointed
