June Building Totals Half Billion

Half a billion dollars of buildings under construction throughout the country is the record-breaking figure set by June, 1925, according to compilations made by the Associated General Contractors of America.

. The June total exceeded the record set in May last.

A nationwide survey has led experts to the conclusion that a great portion of the record-breaking activity is due to the construction of residences.

The association predicts that the volume of construction will remain at or near its present high mark during the seasonal peak period, covering the next three or four months.

The actual volume of building in June, indicated by shipments of construction materials, was more than twice that for the same month in 1913.

The combined construction activity for the first six months of.1925 exceeds the 1924 period by 13 per cent.
