Private Jobs Down,
Public Building Up
US. Survey Shows

The record-breaking building of
homes for this year is going to
slump in 1850, but an increase in
public" building is going to take
up the slack. That's the official
forecast.
A joint estimate of the U. S. De-
parement of Commerce and the
U. S. Department of Labor indicate
that private construction outlays
probably will drop about 1925 mil
lion from the total for this year,
but indications are that public ex-
penditures for new construction
will increase by like amount.
According to the estimate, the
number of workers employed by
construction contractors during the
peak month will be about the same
in 1850 as in 1949-around 2,400,00O.
Somewhat more than a fourth of
the construction workers will be
employed on residential building at
its peak next year, compared with
third this year. Public construc-
ton will claim a third of the work.
ers at the height of the 1850 pro-
gram with a fourth in 1949.
BODYBUILDING maintained a rec
ord-breaking pace for the sixth sue
cessive month, as 100000 new non
farm dwelling units were started in
October, according to preliminary
estimates of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. This is the highest Octo-
Der level in history.
The continued high of activity
through the summer and fall brings
the total number of units started
during the first 10 months of this
year to 843,1OO, 28,3OO above the
corresponding total for 1949, when
builders almost equalled the 1925
all-time peak. There is little doubt
that the total of $4,000 dwelling
units started in 1925 will be sur
passed this year.
simultaneously BIS estimated
that the value of new construction
to be put in place in 1850 will equal
the 1949 record of more than $19
billion.

Ask Pay Boost For
Welfare Employees

The Arizona State Board of Pub
lie Welfare this week recommend
ed a cost-of-living pay boost Of 20
per cent for its employees and asked
the governor to call special Ses-
sion to consider the matter.
The board announced that its en-
ployees are being underpaid and
wants substantial increase
amounting to an average of $3.50
per month-for all of them, includ-
ing those employed in county Of
fees.
The agency, already overdrawn
on an insufficient budget, asked
not only that the proposal be given
the legislature, but that a special
session be called. The governor had
no comment to make on the special
session idea.~
The proposed pay increase would
amount to an additional appropria-
ton of about 100000.
