In u. ). Gains
Over April
Total Construction
For May Also Up
From 1899 Period

Permit valuations for building
construction throughout the country
during May were at practically the
same levels as for April and for,
May, 1899, the Labor Department +
announced today following compile
ton of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tisticS monthly survey.
Residential building in May regis
tered gain of 2 per cent as COM
pared to April, while new non-resi-
dental building showed an increase
of 3 per cent. However, there was
decline of about 4 per cent in.
the valuation of additions, altera-
tons and repairs, comparing the
two months. Total building con-
struction was slightly more than
l per cent greater in May than in
the preceding period.
Comparison With May, 1899.
Comparing last month with May,
1889, the volume of residential con-
struction was up slightly less than
l per cent. However, private resi-
dental building over the same
period showed gain of 18 per cent.
The decrease in the total is due to
the fact that the value of con-
tracts awarded for United States
Housing Authority projects in May,
1910, was 81 per cent less than In
the month of 1889 presidential

Plan for HOUSING
Mobilization in
Defense Submitted
Realtors Association
Suggests Surveys in
Advance Of Need

A suggested plan of procedure
through which existing housing IA
cilities and housing production IA
cilities may most quickly and eff
fectively be modified to meet needs
occaSioned by the national pre-
paredness program has been sub
mitted to the National Defense
Commission by the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards. The
association offers the cooperation
of its member boards in 457 cities
in achieving such mobilization.
Suggestions made by the associa-
ton include systematic exami-
nation by local housing conditions
in advance of need as soon as the
need can be foreseen by local bust
ness groups concerned with hous-
ing to ascertain the extent of ex-
listing facilities and how they might
best be used and to determine i'm
nediately the number of added units
that should be provided through
construction. 1t includes also a
| plan to make a complete list of eX-
listing rental housing facilities avail
able, and a plan for the encourage
ment of building operations in the
needed amounts where new con-
struction is indicated.
Would Avoid Population Shifts.
At the same time, Newton C.
Farr of Chicago. president of the
association, called for distribution
of the preparedness program over
the country in such a way as to
cause minimum of population
changes. so that workers may con-
tinue to own their homes and new
employees of the industries affected
may be housed in real homes, and
so far as possible, in homes of their
own"

Tense program has a long-range
