BUILDING PICKS UP
IN NEW ENGLAND
First Perceptible Gain in Value of
Contracts Reported Since
Last July.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

opeClaJ DlSpatch 20 The Star.
BOSTON. March 8.-The total value
OF building and engineering contracts
awarded in January was 1923 ,975, 900,
an increase of 2 per cent over the pre-
ceding month. The significance of this
relatively small rise of $500, 900 over
the December figure is that it occurred
In a month which is normally lower
than that which precedes it and, fur
theremore, it is the first perceptible
gain in the total value of contracts
since the Unexpectedly large July
record.
Since the decline in the value of new
industrial contracts more than mega
tived the rise in commercial contracts.
the high volume of public works and
utilities contracts was responsible for
the January gains. Residential con-
tracts were at the lowest level in re-
cent years. The first quarter of the
year is usually not particularly active as
far as residential construction is con-
cerned.
The increase in the value of total
contracts awarded in New England
during January was IL per cent, as
compared with December, The January
total Of $l7,860 900 was the lowest jan
uary since 1927. Residential building,
however, in contrast to the report for
the 81 Eastern States, was the most
active, with a total of $5,846, TOO. In
square feet, new residential contracts
during January were the lowest since
February, 1928.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 8.-7-During 1929,
the American public has benefited to
an extent well over $336,000,000 in
claims paid by casualty insurance COM
panies. Reports made by some 271
casualty companies to the Weekly
Underwater and the Insurance Press,
based upon the sworn statements made
by these companies to the State insur-
ance departments demonstrate to a
surprising degree the extent OF these
benefits. When all returns are in this
figure is expected to exceed $375,O0O, 600
These payments to the public by the
casualty companies were made under
policies of automobile insurance, nclud-
ing all the miscellaneous assortment OF
beverages thereunder-property damage,
personal injury, collision, etc. They IN
clude payments for personal injuries
covered by workmens compensation in
surance, as well as health and accident
claims and disability claims under life
policies. This figure includes claims
paid under burglary and theft policies
indemnities for damage suits OF all sorts
covered by insurance, the replacement
of broken plate glass windows, losses oc-
casioned by the defalcatiOns of dis
honest employees, and the fulf1llment OF
contracts undertaken by builders, and
completed by the surety companies. In
short, this type of insurance, known
technically as Casualty and Miscel-
laneous" insurance, touches practically
every phase of human endeavor, and
comes closer to the pocketbooks Of the
individual than almost any other class

HOOver's Influence
In Promoting Trade
Is Eagerly Watched
Business Men Wait for
Effect ofPresident's Latest
Statement on Conditions.
BY 7. C. ROYLE,

Business men gathered in Washing
ton did not find great encouragement
in President Hoover's statement that
the worst phase of the unemployment
situation resulting from the stock mar
ket crash would be over within go days.
They are waiting eagerly to hear how
the statement is received throughout
the country.
They point out that a return to
normal in so days would mean that
business had been under severe depres-
sion for at least six months since the
big break in the stock market in late
october and early November of 1929.
That is a longer count than even Gene
Tunney was credited with having re-
ceived in his fight with Jack Dempsey
in Chicago.
The statement by Secretaries Lamont
and Davis that employment in the
country has increased by 100000 to
100000 workers since the low point
at the beginning of the year also has
brought little encouragement. The
spread between 900 and 1000 900 is
so wide that the accuracy of the figures
is seriously questioned both by business
men and labor leaders. 1t is generally
believed, however, that there has been
some increase in the number of en-
ployed in the last month or six weeks.
The Presidents statement recites that
unemployment is pressing in but IL
States of the 48. But business men
point out that the larger part of the
industrial employment in the country
is centered largely in those IL States.
The President said that the railroad.
public works and utility programs of
the country have done much to stabilize
In hyVf
note that there has been big falling
of in housing construction which has
nullified some of these benefits.
The President stated that the pledge
to maintain wages has been upheld, but
labor leaders today said that pledges to
maintain employment had not been
universally fulfilled Money is avail
able at lower rates but credit is not so
freely extended and real estate men
complain bitterly on this account
Business. according to representative
business men, is not discouraged or
alarmed at the situation. These men
say that the depression, such as has ex-
isted has been in the industries whose
position was weakest. No complaint is
coming from steel or electrical equip
ment makers or farm machinery manu-
facturers.
Although they hesitate to express this
view, what most business men really
hope for is a resumption of activity, one
way or the other, in the stock market
They admit, in spite of the views of
legislators and officials here, that the
stock market has come to be BUSH
ness barometer. There Is plenty of
money for operations in the market but
bankers say that just as in many other
lines, buyers are holding off hoping to
buy at the low" This reluctance is
only equaled by the disinclination to
sell at the high.

BUSINESS INSURANCE
OVER 81 YEARS OLD

Although the wide adoption of the use
of business insurance is a comparatively
recent development, the idea originated
at least 90 years ago. This fact was
brought out by the discovery among the

of Philadelphia of booklet published
by an insurance and annuity company
in 1897, which dealt in part with
