Projected Buildings Will
Cost Millions of Dollars:
Investment 40 Per Cent
Ahead Of Any Similar
Period Since 1914

Reports from every section of the
country show resumption of construc-
ton Oh scale greater than in anv
similar period for number Of years.
With the contracts awarded last
month included in the total, the
estimated appropriation for new work
since the first Of the year in the ter
rltory north of the Ohio River and
east Of the Missouri is S1,565. .4S9 600.
which is an amount 40 per cent greater
than investments made in new work
during the first eight months of anv
year since 1914, even though based on
current cost prices.
Banner Building Year Indicated
Contracts awarded last month in the
same territory, according to statistics
compiled by the T. w. DODGE Com
! pany, amounted to s267.26l 900 This
fgure. although 13 per cent under the
total tor July, indicates an increase
IN building activity Of SO per cent over
the average for August Of the five
years previous TO 1919.
The figures for contract awards nm
to September / indicate a banner wear
IN building operations The crest of
the curve was passed in July, but de-
iays IN operations, due to labor
troubles, shortage of materials in cer
tain localities and other causes have
occurred. Consequently, it appears
ilkely that actuai construction has vet
20 reach its maximum volume and that
the building season will be neces sarilv
prolonged as far toward the close Of
the year as weather conditions will
permit.

awarded in New York State and north
ern New Jersey amounted to S69,S61.-
