By WILLIAM A. MILLEN

This year will be the second
. best year in history for new home
: building expenditures.
That's what DR.. George C,
Smith, vice president and econ
omist of F. w. Dodge Corp, New
York. declared today in an ad-
dress prepared for delivery to
the Washington Building Con-
gress at the Mayfiower Hotel.
Contract awards for total
construction in the 81 Eastern
States during the first four
J months of 1856 were far ahead
of last year, particularly in pub
lie works, schools and factory
: buildings" he said.
5 while the figures for May
aren't complete as yet, a prelim-
! mary look indicates that the
May total will also be ahead OF
. last year.
Because these contract awards
. precede actual spending of money
: for labor, materials and services
there seems to be little doubt that
3 the second half of 1856 will be
at or close to record levels OF
3 construction activity"
Dollar Volume Activity
Stressed as Guide
: He pointed out too much at
tention has been paid to the de-
cline in the number of new hous-
ing starts and too little to dollar

of housing starts was at its ALL
time high in 1850, he recalled.
