RECORD CONTRACT VOLUME IN MARCH Construction _ contracts to the amount of $620,738,200, were awarded last month in the 37 states cast of the Rocky Mountains, according to F. W. Dodge Corporation,. This tops the previous high record of August, 1925, by 9 million dollars. The in- crease over March, 1926, was nearly r cent id the increase over. Feb- ruary of this year was 57 per cent. The March record brought the con- tract total for the first quartor of this year up to $1,398,776,100, which is only about 4% per cent below the of last year. At the end of January this was 16 per cent behind last year; at the end of February, 10 per cent behind; at the end of March, only 4'2 per cent’ behind. This shows that there was in March ao quite considerable recovery from the low contract volumes of the preced- ing two month: Last. month's record included the 078,300, or 40 per cent of all con- | Struct n, for residential buildings; | $113 000, or 18 per cent, for com- mercial buildings; $106,826,900, or 17 per cent for public works and uti ties; $48,076,000, or 8 per cent, for j industrial buildings; and $36,521,800, jor 6 per cent, for educational build- | ings. Contemplated — new construction was reported in March to the amount of $1,198,090,900, an increase of 16 per cent’ over March, 1926. This record total of contemplated work in- dicates an upturn in construction de- mand. Tho Northwest - March building contracts in Minne- gota, the Dakotas and Northern Michigan amounted to $10,472,900. This figure shows the considerable increase of 265 per cent over Febru- ary, but declined from March of last | year by 13 per cent. Included in last month’s ‘record were the following | per cent, for public works and utili- important classes of work: $3,299,- 900, or 32 per cent of all construc- tion, for residential building: $2,406,800, or for co mercial build $1,132,200, or 11 | ties; and $916,800, or 9 per cent, for | educational projects. | The total amount of work started | during the first quarter of this year “Oh, it’s hie, oh, hee.
