There is much room for devélopment in this division, which includes water works, sewers, bridges and other public works, Had this branch of construc- tion moved forward at the rate estab- iished by the 1913 totals, the report further shows, awards to date would total $5.400,000,000. Contracts award- ed in the 11 years total $5,800,000,000.
