The Government predicted to.
day that spending on conStruc.
ton will shoot up about $4.2s
billion this year to an unprece-
Idented $41.8 billion.
The prediction by the Com
merce and Labor Department;
was based upon economists ex-
pectations that business will con-
Itinue throughout the last hall
of this year at its present record
rate.
The new forecast was a sharp
upward revision since last No
Ivember, when Government econ
omists foresaw a 50 billion rise
in building outlays this year.
Since then. monthly construc-
ton reports have indicated peak
activity in the building business.
The present construction rec
ord is last years $37.6 billion.
Only a moderate" price increase
was figured into the II per cent
rise now foreseen during this
year the new report said, indi-
eating that nearly all the in
creased spending would represent
actual building.
The forecast contemplates
that Federal spending on con-
struction will decline by more
than 10 per cent this year, but
that State and local outlays will
offset this decline, rising to a
record S8.75 billion.
The report foresaw adequate
mortgage funds at relatively easy
interest terms, and good sup
plies of all building materials
during this year.
The report included these de-
tails:
The biggest dollar rise was
foreseen for new dwelling units,
expected to account for $14.6 bill
lion of total construction out
lays this year, a rise of 81 per
cent over the previous dollar
record in 1854. 1t was predicted
that approximately 1.3 million

units would be started this year
second only to the $l.35 millior
private units started in 1850.
The biggest percentage in.
Icrease-44 per cent-was fore
seen for outlays on construction
Iof stores, restaurants and ga
RACES.
Nonresidential building as a
whole was expected to rise by II
Iper cent.
Anticipated construction OF
churches showed one of the
largest rises-26 per cent.
Private educational construc-
tion was expected to be down by
about 5 per cent. while publicly
financed educational outlays
were expected to rise 10 per cent.
Farm construction was ex-
pected to decline by approxi-
mately 10 per cent to some $l.4
billion in 1855.
The Government predicted a
IL per cent rise in highway out
lays to a record of $4.25 billion.
Spending for sewer and water
facilities was also expected to
rise by II per cent.

Rezoning for Apartment
Protested at Heoriinq

A proposed SIT million apart
ment building at the northwest
corner of Connecticut avenue
and Leroy place NV. would de-
press adjoining property values
opposing witnesses told the Dis
trict zoning Commission yester-
day.
The public hearing on the
application to rezone part of the
site to permit erection of an
eight-story building with 95
apartments and "a car spaces
was recessed after a day-long
session to be resumed at 8 am
Friday.
Many neighborhood residents
have registered protests against
the granting OF the application,
including occupants of the West
moreland Cooperative Apart
ments at 2122 California street
NV. who contend the proposed
building would shut off their
light, air and view.
On the other hand, Attorney
Robert E. Lynch, representing
the owners of the site, presented
Frank Luchs. prominent real
estate man here. who testified
that in his opinion the proposed
building would be an improve
ment to the neighborhood.
Cites Tax Benefits
Mr.. Luchs said it not only
would bring around $4,000 a
year in real estate taxes for the
city. but its 95 families would be
contributing other taxes and, in
general. adding to the prosperity
Of the District.
He noted that, under present
zoning, an apartment house
could be built on part of the
property He expressed the view
that, because of the need for
excavation and a retaining wall
and other construction costs, the
restricted lots were economically
unattractive as sites for single
family homes.
A zoning revision of three lots
included on the site would be
required to permit construction
Of the proposed building. Half
Of the $4,000 square-foot area
already would permit the eight
