In the year 3,249 tons of new steel rails were
by the companies, while 573,S7S ties were
absorbed into the track The total mileage on jan

two tracks. S5.T miles of three tracks and 26.97
miles of four tracks In addition to 954S miles of

line was 2,99972 miles, increase of approximately
twenty-nine miles for the year
The passenger train earnings of the lines op-
Grated by the company were materially affected
by the reduction in the maximum rates Of passen-

the government for carrying the United States
mails. Had the rates OF fare and the same
rates for carrying the mails prevailed as I'm the

of in train crews, and by the requirements of

SEES BOOM IN BUILDING COMING.
Outlook More Favorable than in Several
Years, Saws H. S. Black

H. s. Black. president Of the United States Realty
and Improvement Company, expressed yesterday
an optimistic view OF the outlook for the building
industry and for general business. He said:
so far general building conditions are con-
cerned the outlook is more favorable than 1t has
been in several years. l look forward to pro-
nOunced expansion in construction for some
years TO come. Confidence IN many branches Of
business has been completely restored, and in other
lines partly restored It viii not be a great while.
In my opinion before people will have forgotten the
depression and wilt be looking for channels of out
let fr their surplus funds For several years new
construction has been confined largely to New
York. It is becoming more general, partic
ularly in the Middle West where some very large
contracts have been closed and others pending.
There is question that lower prices for steel.
particularly structural material have given inn
petus to new construction. This readjustment in
Steel well prices OF other material, has in
let for their surplus funds For several years new
projects which have been held up for long time.
The reduction in steel prices will not only help
building, but other branches OF industry upon
which steel manufacturers depend. This in turn
will bring about substantial increase in steel pro-
ductiOn.
Another important factor which has recently
to light is the large amount of capital seek
ing investment in real estate ventures"
