But in addition to houses constructed under the FHA program, the Rancho Yegas had constructed 76 dwelling units and the army two housing projects having a total of 889 houses, or a total of new houses in these collective groups cf 1511, of which but 773 were now occupied and 738 vacant. The vacancy was caused in part by delay in making street improvements and partial incompletion of some of the houses, but in many cases the houses were complete and ready for occupancy but vacant. The tabulation also showed an investment by the Water Company on projects constructed under Rule 9c of $152,396.89.M r. Folger also testified that the present employment at Basic by the Basic Magnesium Company itself was 5300 people, and their anticipated maximum employment was 5400, and that the Basic Magnesium Company were continuing the construction of additional dwellings, dormitories, etc# in the vicinity of the plant which would undoubtedly handle practically all of the employes working at the plant. The witness also introduced as exhibit 2 a labor curve forecast furnished by McNeil GonstructionGompany, the contractor building the Basic plant* This chart showed a maximum employment by McNeil at the peak m June, 1942 of 10,007 employes, and employment as of June 1, 1940 or 2795, and an anticipated employment as of September approximately 200, with the probable completion of construction work by October 7 and office work by November 1.
