Construction contracts at minimum This y e a r’s firs t-q u a rte r volume of Oregon and South west Washington construction contracts barely exceeded that of 1973, the Oregon-Columbia Chapter of Associated General Contractors reported, as March became the first month of 1974 to show a decline from a year ago New contracts totaling $51.1 m illio n were awarded in March, 1974, the AGC said, based on figures compiled at Oregon State University in a program made possible by the Construction Industry Ad vancement Fund. The monthly total was down 15.5 per cent from the $60.5 million reported a year earlier. A Rhododendron resident, For the first three months of Lucille Billie Guffy, died of 1974, new contracts totaled cancer at Emanuel Hospital Wednesday, May 29. Born Feb. 23, in Okeene, Okla., Mrs. Guffy was 59 years old. Formerly of San Francisco, she moved with her family to Portland in 1949, then to Rhododendron in 1962. Mrs. Guffy is survived by her husband, Glenn G., Rhododen dron, a daughter, Mrs. Norma Persing, and grandson, Jeffrey Persing, both of Troutdale. Also surviving are a brother, Dan Meier, Heilsburg, Calif., sisters, Mrs. Hannah Howard, B urlingam e, C a lif., Mrs. Raechel Griffin, Los Gatos, C a lif., and M rs. P e rc illa Jenkins, San Francisco, Calif. Several nieces and nephews also survive. At the request of the deceased, no funeral service was held. Her ashes were scattered at sea. Lucille Guffy Jones graduates from West Point Garden television to resume $132.3 million, up 1.9 per cent from $129.8 million a year ago. In Clackamas County, $1,460,207 worth of construction contracts were awarded in March of this year, compared with $1,387,936 in March, 1973. The county’s first-quarter total was $2,809,963 this year and $1,940,369 in 1973. The AGC-OSU figures on newly awarded contracts give an indication of what can be anticipated in the way of future construction activity, the AGC said. All types of construction were expected to be down for the first half and some types for the entire year, due to fuel and material shortages, spiraling costs and other considerations. The level of recent activity is indicated by State Employment Division figures on the con struction work force. The number of persons employed in Oregon contract construction slipped from 36,500 in February to 36,400 in March and was up from 36,300 in March, 1973. Latest figures on con struction earnings showed non- supervisory workers averaging $7.66 an hour and $283.42 a week, compared with $7.00 an hour and $251.30 a week at the same time last year.
