Country's Builders
Rapidly Resuming
Construction Work

Rapid increase in volume Of build
ing operations during the first six
months Of 1919 as indicated by build :
ing permits issued in representative
cities Of the United States is outstand-
ing proof that the construction indus
try is surging into real action.
The first of the year was quite natu-
rally lean. Building had been almost
completely paralyxed by wartime re-
s%rictions. In January 152 cities re-
ported only $2s,ss9.215 estimated
value OF permits issued. This was a
decrease from the first month Of
1918, which from the same cities
showed s~27.2s1.21s estimated value
OF permits issued.
June reports coming from 1853 cities
as officially reported to The American
give an estimated value
of $13~4.726.715. as compared to an
estimated value OF $47,7e3,1S2 for
issued during June. 1918. The
per g of gain is 1872.
