According to the latest United

costs averaged lower in 1925 than
either 1924 or 1928. This was due
to recessions in the Spring and the
standard costs thereafter. Building
construction in 1925 was far above
the previous high mark of 1924 in
both volume and value. All classes
increased over 1924, but industrial
construction fell below 1922 and 1923
