MARCH BUILDING
 SHOWS INCREASE

Although there has been much talk of construction being held up on ac- count of high prices, high wages, and shortage of material, the total amount of contracts awarded during March in the territory east of the Missouri and north of the Ohio rivers, according to statistics compiled by the F. W. Dodge Company. showed great increase over the figures for January and February, and was, in fact, greater than the figure for any month in 1919. The total amount for March was s327, 8S7. 900. as against $235, 900 for January. and $216,- 663, 900 for February.
 These figures give $7So, o,40S,000 as the total for the first quarter of 1920. Normally the first three months of the year account for about 20 per cent. of the years total of work started. In the first quarter of 1919 contracts awarded amounted to $2T5, ,555, 900. Of the total for the first three months of the year, $267, ,193,00O, or 34 per cent, was for industrial buildings; $1 50. .651 ,00o, or 19 per cent. was for residential buildings; and $146, ,972,- 900, Or 19 per cent for public works and utilities. This shows that the work which has been held up is in the residential group, that is the smaller building operations. Normally, this group accounts for about 80 per cent. of the total. and at the present time, in view of existing needs, it should be about 40 per cent of the total
 Although contrcts have been award ed to the amount of 7S0 millions of dollars there is still a vast amount of work being held up for more favora- ble conditions. In the first quarter of 1920, contemplated and projected work of all kinds was reported by the F. w. Dodge Company to the amount of S1,70O, 100000. Of the contem- plated work, public works and utiIi- ties amount to s363, 3,S02,oo0 or 21 per cent of the total; industrial buildings amount to $355, 5,073,ooo, or 21 per cent. of the total; and residential | buildings amount to $343,173.0OO. or | 20 per cent. Of the total
 Building contracts awarded in
 March in the New England states | amounted to $42.5s4.o00, figure greater than the combined totals ot
 January and February.
 The total amount of contracts
 awarded for the first quarter of 1916
 was sS2, ,oOo. compared with $22,-
 22O, 900 for the same period in 1919
 The total for the first quarter includ-
 ed the following items: $2e,772,00
 or 36 per cent. for industrial build ings; 9,o59,OOo, Or 23 per cent. fol
 residential buildings; and s15, 100000
 or 8 per cent. for business buildings Contemplated projects reported ir | the first quarter of the year amounted
 to $193. 3.8o4,o0o, including s46,291, ,00t
 for industrial buildings, ,317,00(
 for residential buildings, and $32, 2,O71,- 900 for business buildings
