i EE . ii WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1920 YZ _aREAL ESTATER CLAIM 21 PER CENT DROP IN BUILDING F. W. Dodge Company Shows De- cline in Month of July in Vari- ous Sections of Country. Building operations during the month of July showed a decline of 21 per cent from the previous month, according to statistics compiled by the F. W. Dodge company, and ex- plained as follows in a recent issue of the Chicago Evening Post: Con- tracts awarded during July in the territory east of the Missouri and north of the Ohio rivers amounted to $204,398,000. Building conditions in 1920 have been without a precedent in the past. In 1919, July was the month that showed the largest amount of work started, whereas this year the July figure is lower than that for any pre. vious month. The fact is that in pre- vious months of this year contracts were awarded in such great volume as to severely strain the country's capacity for production of the fin- ished buildings, especially in view of the difficulties of transportation of materials. The present slump affords the construction industry a chance to catch up on existing contracts. Demand Piles Up In the meantime the demand for construction continues to pile up. Contemplated projects reported by the F. W. Dodge company from Jan- uary 1 to August 1 have amounted to $3,300,000,000, which is very nearly double the volume of work started, which has amounted to $1,746,000,000. Work started in the first seven months of 1919 amounted to $1,301,- 000,000. The accumulated demand must op- erate in favor of increased amounts of work started just as rapidly as the retarding conditions show signs of improvement. at July building contracts in the New - England states amounted to $20,667,- 000, which was about the same as the average monthly figure for the first half of the year. Pr In detail the July building figures show the following items. Industrial buildings amounted to $7,135,000, or 24 per cent of the total; residential buildings amounting to $6,546,000, or 22 per cent of the total, and business buildings amounting to $4,800,000, or 16 per cent of the total. Much Work Contemplated Contemplated work amounting to $42,031,000 was reported in July, OKLAHOMA INDIAN LANDS WITH U. S.
