March and a 10 per cent increase
over April of last year. However
there were only two sections, New

and the southeastern states. that
April of last year. Residential and
commercial buildings decreased in
April, and industrial buildings and
public works increased. The seasonal
peak of building operations usually
occurs in April. Last months volume
of construction, measured in new
floor space contracted for, showed a
drop of per cent from March.
Total construction started from
January to May l has amounted to
