UP 7 PER CENT

Present Momentum May Carry 1940 Figure Above Highs of 1939.

Nation-wide construction aetivities, still lagging behind the frsy six months of last year, are being pulled to 1939-eclipsing highs by the building of homes The moderate lag of winter and Epring has swung around. In May, the increase in new contracts over R year ago, according to the F. W Dodge Corp, was 6 per cent and in June this widened to 13 per cent While the total for six months was 4 per cent less than a vear ago, the current momentum dicates that the deficit will be replaced by ® plus sign Contemplated construction report€d by Dodge for June was by far

the yargest in many months and 76

Der cent greater than a year ago

Residential construction has been |

the first half of the year, gaining 7 1 per cent while | each of the other classes, hon-residential building, public works and utilities, registered deelines, In June, according to the Fitch Investors Service, residential awards were 20 per cent over the valuation | of a year ago. As yet, Fitch says, home building | has shown no effects of unsettlement from war conditions. Some of the heavy materials hung back in the winter, but for the light - er and more highly finished mate-| rials and supplies there was excellent demand.

the major factor in

of brass plumbing (not including pipe) in the five months of the vear were IR per cent larger than in the Emilar 1939 period. Roofing, paints and varnishes have hot, done so well as some other ma- | tlerials. One reason was the severe Savinter, nationally as bitter as it was focally. The cold weather cut into the amount of ouldoor work. Such materials, moreover, are more important in maintenance of eld buildings than the erection of Thus thev do not follow
