BUILDING ON INCREASE
Gain of 5 Per Cent in Permits Is.

OF 162 cities officially reported
throughout the country. an increase
of II per cent is shown. The total
valuation last month is recorded in
these cities as S60176,9S7, as against
s35,315,327 for the same month last

MARCH FIGURES SHOW
A BOOM IN BUILDING
Gain of 80 Per Cent Over Average
for Month in Eight Years, Labor
Department States.

A gain of so per cent more than the
March for the preceding eight years
was made last month in building
throughout the country, according to
report of the division of public
works and construction development.
United States Department of Labor.
1t represents an increase of more
than 80 per cent. estimating projects
represented at the present cost Of
building.
The record for four complete weeks
in March is S14O,210,116. 1t is declared
the figures show, in the steady in
creases from week to week, that there
is a progressive movement to resume
building.
1t is stated index figures have been
compiled, as carefully as the nature
Of the case would permit, for the gen.
eral cost of construction for the years
from 1913 on. and the figures for these
years have been converted into the
cost in 1918. or at the present time.
The results, in round numbers, are:
1913. 1000, 900: 1914, SIS, ,000. 900; 1915,
s118. 600, 900; 1915 1892, 100000: 1917. $143.-
100000: 1918. $116.ooo. 900. Total. s702.-
From this it appears that, even with
the proper allowance made for in
creasing cost. March. 1919, is almost
30 per cent above the average for the
last six years. March, 1917. is the
only month which probably slightly
exceeds in present value the past
month. Government contracts are in
cluded in these figures and undoubt-
edly during March, 1918, they repre-
sented a considerable percentage of
the amount since for the entire year
of 1918 they constituted 80 per cent.
The only months on record in which
the permits eoualed or exceeded $52,-
100000 were during the years 1917
and 1918. after the United States had
entered the war, when, as just noted,
government work constituted quite an
appreciable portion.
The large cities have not yet re-
sumed building in the same fashion as
the smaller places. When they do. it
is believed that the industry will en-
joy a prosperity greater than at any
previous time.
