HousebuiIding Drops
In February From
Same Month in 81

More than 1900 new homes
were started in February-an 8
per cent gain over the previous
month-the Bureau of Labor
Statistics said today.
The total. however, was less
than the number started in Feb
ruary, 1852. The decline from the
corresponding month last year
was attributed partly to severe
storms in the latter half of Feb
ruary in some parts of the coun-
try.
"The 148, ,0O0-unit total for jan
uary and February, 1853, was
about 5.400 units above 1852, but
less than those two months in
1850 and 1851 by 1900 and 49,
500 units respectively" BIS said.
Both private and public housing
shared in the. gain over January
February. 1852.
preliminary reports show that
the February. 1858, increase was
mostly in the North and West,
with somewhat lower rate in
the Southern regions, which had
previously reported gains for
January"
BIS continued, "A fairly sub
Stantial rise during February in

ance foreShadowS continued
gains in housing starts for March,
since many of the units author
lied last month are now being
put under construction"
The agency said total house.
building (private and public) was
proceeding at a seasonally ad-
| justed annual rate of 1927 900
units in February, as indicated
by preliminary estimates. The
final revised estimate for Novem-
ber was 1,159.O0O units, while
preliminary rates for December
and January were 1927 900 and
1.157.000, respectively.
