C.—The dollar value of city building construction reached a 17-year high in 1946, according to preliminary estimates of the Bureau of Labor Statis tics, U. S. Department of Labor. Permits issued (and Federal'con tracts awarded) for building con struction in all urban places were valued at 14,700,000,00 last year —more than double the 1945 total and the greataet dollar volume reported since the 1920’s. In part this high level !% due to current high construction coasts. The largest part of the gain over 1945,was accounted for by residential, construction, which rose from $769 million to $2,442 million. Nonresidential building, although restricted by control orders, advanced 70 per cent to $1.5 billion; additions, alterations, and repairs rose only slightly to $765 million. The fact that home construc tion accounted for more than half the total dollar volume in 1946 while nonresidential building rep resented less than a third is at tributable primarly to the issu ance of Veterans’ Housng Pro gram Order No) 1 (the construc tion limitation order) on March 26. Prior to that date, nonresi dential projects, particularly com mericia! and industrial building, were surging ahead of housing. Urban valuations hit an all time monthly high of $742 million in March, 1946, as many builderes hastened to get work strsted on higher priced homes and non housing construction before con trols w«nt into effect. In April, after the limitation order wad in operation, the total valuation fig ure plummeted to $4S3 million. SEASONAL JOBS FALL OFF BY 1,138,0M4N JANUARY Washington, D.
