HALF YEARS NEW CONSTRUCTION
EXPECTED TO SMASH RECORDS
Rise General Business Forecast as Huge Local Pro.
gram Is Carried Out-More Commercial
Projects Are Predicted.

AS can be seen from the table.
residential construction represents the
large bulk OF building awards. The
present year. however. should find
commercial structures taking a larger
percentage Of the grand total than
has been true previously.
Considering the noticeable increase
in dwelling units advertised as for
rent, 1t Is apparent that the housing
siuaion has eased and hat this con-
dition Is operating to effect q slack
ening in residential construction to-
ward the close OF the year II not
sooner
Labor now employed in residential
construction will then be shifted for
this reason, to openings made avail
able by increased construction activ.
ity in commercial types. It is believed
that the present rise in the forecast
line foreshadows more especially this
change in the distribution Of build.
Ing types. with commercial structures
more than outweighing any possible
decline in residential construction ac-
tivity.

BY l.. S. SCHNITMAN AND j. w.
WILLARD.

Prediction in these columns some
six weeks ago with reference to pro-
spective building activity in the city
of Washington for the year 1926 has
thus far been fulfilled. New build
ing construction awards actually let
in January in the District of Column
bia, amounting to $6,395,000. were
larger than in any other January on
record. with but one possible excep-
ton. And with this achievement our
forecasting line has recorded its fifth
consecutive monthly advance. Not
since the Winter Of 1921 and Spring
Of 1922 has this curve been so def
nitely upward.
It may here be recalled that this ad-
vance in the curve, at that time,
foreshadowed the large building pro-
gram recorded in 1929. which stood as
record year until displaced by the
year 1925, condition also forecast
by the line fully six months before its
actual occurrence. Using this same
straw in the wind" there is little
doubt that the first half, at least, of
the current year will register a larger
new building program than in any
other comparable period. Building
awards during this period will likely
exceed $35 100000, practically equal
ing the total awards for the entire
year 1921.
Business Should Gain.
With this huge program which is
forecast fulfilled, general business
in Washington, for a large part of
the year. should experience consider
able rise, If past relationships be-
tween building activity and business
in general may be used as a basis for
judgment. More building means more
employment OF labor, more purchase
of materials and equipment, larger
sales Of appliances and furnishings,
a larger demand for funds and the
whole gamut Of other important and
varied economic phenomena directly
traceable to the building industry.
Even If building awards were to fall
markedly in the last few months Of
the year the activity presaged by con-
tracts already let and those in the
immediate offing predicted by our
curve could easily operate to give full
activity for the best part Of this year,
since there is a lag of many weeks
between the time a contract for build
ing is let and the time the structure
Is turned over as completed.

The desirability Of convincing farm
