BUILDING RUSH
SEEN FOR 1929
Indiana Dealers Forecast
Heavy Construction.

Construction activities during 1929
on a par with last year are antici-
pated by Indiana building supply
dealers, according to survey by
the Universal Portland Cement
Company, Chicago. Dealers located
in all parts of the state participated
in the survey.
Definite gains are expected in
farm building, residential construc-
ton and highway paving, the deal
ers' opinions show. Improvement in
the general farm situation will bring
greater agricultural construction,
dealers throughout the midwest
say in the survey.
Commercial building, public util-
ity construction, and sewer i'm
provements in Indiana will reach a
total equal to 1928, the Indiana
dealers believe. City street i'm
provementS and public buildings are
expected to decline.
Not only in Indiana, but through
out the middle-west, dealers opinions
point to increased construction &C
tivities during 1929. Agricultural
construction promises to show the
largest gains, but new paving pro-
grams in several states will send
total volume of highway construc-
ton above last year, the survey in
dicates.
