Washington Placed Fifth
Among Principal U. S.
Cities.
ALL CONSTRUCTION
SHOWS GOOD INCREASE
Nationwide Survey Conducted by
Bureau of Labor Statistics
for February.
RY LANES Y. NEWTON.

An increase of 1895 per cent in
residential construction in the prin-
cipal cities of the country during Feb
ruary, as compared with the cor
responding month of 1885, was an
nounced today by Secretary OF Labor
Perkins.
Figures contained in the report OF
the Nation wide survey conducted by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics show
that all types of construction increased
S68 per cent in February over the
valuation of the same month year
ago. Residential building led the
individual types in the upturn.
Washington placed fifth among the
cities in February building with a
valuation of $2,280,68l. The figure
was exceeded only in New York City,
Milwaukee, Houston and Los Angeles,
according to the Labor Department
survey. In Houston permit for
$2,700,000 school building pushed the
construction valuation there ahead OF
the Capital.
Value Shows Slight Decline.
Compared with January the total
value of permits issued shows a de-
cline Of IA per cent. Secretary Per-
kins explained that this decline was
due entirely to relatively sharp de-
creases in the value of permits issued
for new non-reSidential buildings and
for additions, alterations and repairs
to existing structures. These de-
creaSes, however, were largely counter
balanced by vigorous upturn Of Is
per cent in new residential construc-
ton permits.
Continuing the comparison with
February. 1885, the report shows an
increase Of 70.6 per cent in new nom
residential construction, while the
valuation of additions, alterations and
repairs was 26.7 per cent higher than
a year ago. A total of 1,4l5 identical
cities were included in the survey.
The statistics collected by the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics include, in
addition to private construction, the
number and value of buildings for
which contracts were awarded by
Federal and State governments in
the cities included in the report. For
February, 1886, the value of permits
issued for public buildings amounted
to $20,565,000; for January, 1886,
s11,O73,592, and for February, 1885
s5,38o,Oo0.
Units for 6,691 Families.
Dwelling units will be provided for
6,691 families in the new housekeep-
ing dwellings for which pemitS were
issued in February. This is an in
crease of 125 per cent as compared
with February of the previous year.
Permits were issued during February
for the following important building
projects: In the Borough of the Bronx
for apartment houses to cost over
S1,000,000 and for a school building
to cost S1,30O000; in Brooklyn for
apartment houses to cost 100000 and
for factory buildings to cost over
$500,000; in Topeka, Kans., for a
school building to cost over 100000;
in Baltimore, Md, for a school build
ing to cost nearly 81 800, 900; in Nash

cost over $1,700,0 900; in Oklahoma City,
