$23.7 Billion in Construction
Sets New 8-Month Record

Dollar volume of new public
and private construction for the
first eight months of 1854 totaled
$23.7 billions new record for
the period even after adjustment
for price changes, the Depart
ments of Labor and Commerce
estimated today.
. In a joint release the two
agencies said the preliminary
eight month figure indicates
that by the end of the year a
total of 1865 billion will be spent
on new construction, topping
1885 record of $35.25 billion.
New construction expenditures
rose seasonally in August to a
record $50 billion, making it the
second successive month in
which construction activity
reached an all-time high.
The seasonal increase resulted
primarily from expansion in pri-
vate residential building, public
utility construction and highway
work. Most other types Of con-
struction remained at about
their high July levels or rose
slightly. Store building declined
only 2 per cent-less than usual
for this time of year.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-09-04

Private OUTLAWS were 5 per cent
higher this year for the Janu-
ary-August period than in 1858.
Declines appeared in private in
dustrial, railroad, and farm con-
struction, but these were more
than offset by substantial gains
in most other types of private
work. including an especially
sharp upswing of 80 per cent on
commercial building.
Public OUTLAWS for new con-
struction under way during the
first 8 months of 1854 were about
the same as the 1853 period.
Declines in Federal construction,
especially on military facilities,
were Offset by increased State
and local government OUTLAWS.
mainly for schools, roads, and
sewer and water systems.
More than twice as much has
been spent for private construc-
ton this year than for public
construction-$16.3 billion COM
pared with STA billion. Expen-
ditures for private new housing
alone were almost as great as
for all public construction to-
gether.

Spring Planting
Season Starts

The planting season for trees
and shrubs already has started in
the south and is gradually moving
northward Home planting can be-
gin wherever the ground is soft
enough to dig holes to receive the
plants, according to members of
the American Association of Nurs-
erymen.
Spring frosts will not damage
hardy trees and shrubs, as they
do annual vegetable and flower
plants for home owners right in
plants. Most nurserymen will tag
the nursery, to be dug and deliver
ed when the ground thawS out
enough to dig them. In this way,
the purchaser has a better choice
of plants.
Nurseries in all parts of the
country are fairly well stocked
with all kinds of Towering trees
and shrubs, fruit trees, roses, per-
ennialS, and broadleafed and CO.
niferous evergreens, according to
the nurserymen's association,

ton from which to choose.
