BALTIMORE BUILDING ESTIMATES SET HIGH Operations for Year Held Likely to Pass Record of $54,825,000 Made in 1924. BALTIMORE, February 21.—Build- ing operations here stand a good chance this year of breaking the con- struction record of $54,925,000 set in 1924. That is the bellef of construc- tion mer. and others engaged in fore- casting business conditions. School buildings, city construction work, new factories, hotels and apart- ments will make up the bulk of the year's work, they say. Several thousand homes also will be built. The city has constructed about 20,000 homes in the last five years and has about caught up with the demand. Labor costs will remain about the same, with perhaps a few slight in- creases, they say. Sheet metal workers will begin receiving $1.20 an hour in- stead of $1.10, and painters will get $1 an hour March 1, instead of 90 cents. Last year's building record was $5,000,000 more than the $46,000,000 of 1923, and more than twice’ as much as the $26,769,000 of 1919, S LI CONTRACTS DECREASE. Baltimore January Figures Under Same Month in 1924. BALTIMORE, February 21.—Build- ing contracts In Baltimore last month totaled $3,460,600. This was a 63 per cent increase over December and a 48 per cent decline from January, 1924. Last month’s total was only slightly under the monthly average malntained last year. The one large item in last month's record was $2,634,000, or 76 per cent of all con- struction, for residential buildings. May 1.
