W. Dodge tion. This amount represents a decline of 9 per cent from the preceding month | and 12 per cent from May, 1928. The most significant decline occurred in the Nev York State and Northern New Jer- sey district, indicating, apparently, the influence of the recent labor dispute in New York City. In the territory out- side of this district the decline was less than 2 per cent from April of this year, as compared with a mnormal seasonal decline from May of 4 per cent. Of the eight districts mentioned be- low, five showed increases over the pre- ceding month, one showed a decrease | from April of this year, but an increase | when compared with ‘May, 1928, and {only two showed decreases from both | April of this year and May of the last year. |7 Of the total contracts awarded in the 137 States, the following classes were ;the most important: $192,014,600, or 33 | per cent, for residential building; $139.- 388,200, or 24 per cent, for public works and utilities; $86,470,700, or 15 per | cent, for commercial ' buildings; $80,- ‘7Sl,9004 or 14 per cent, for industrial | butldings, apd $38,195,100, or 6 per cent, for_educational bulldings.

The construction record in the Middle Atlantic States (Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, Maryland, Dela- ware, District of Columbis and Virginia) appears to have the same downward trend as occurred in the New York State and Northern New Jersey district. The decline in the volume of contracts awarded was 44 per cent. as com with the total volume for April, and & decline of 23 per cent from the May, 1928, total. Included in the May total, amounting to $59,419,500, were the following im- portant classes of construction: $23441,- 200, or 39 per cent of the month's total, for regidential buildings; $12,492,500, or 21 per’ cent, for public works and util- ities; $7,077,700, or 12 per cent, for com- mercial buildings: $59532,100, or 10 per cent, for educational buildings, and $3,968,800, or 5 per cent, for industrial buildings. ‘The May ocontract total brought the amount of new construction work started for the first five months of this year up to $324,138,500, a decrease of only 7 per cent from the corresponding perod of last year. Contemplated projects as reported last month amounted to $134,113900, an increase of 42 per cent over the preced- ing month’s total and a decrease of less than 3 per cent from the total for the corresponding month 8f last year. ‘Total contracts awarded in New York State and Northern New Jersey during the past month amounted to $122,474,600, a decrease of 28 per cent from the April total and a decrease of 34 per cent from the May, 1938, total. ‘This decline was due largely to the de- crease in building of the residential and public works and utility classes. ‘The total volume of contracts award- ed in the New England States for the month of May amounted to $43,745,300.
