pates a fair sized amount of general
construction. M arshfield's 1925 pro
gram is reported to be on a greater
scale than in 1924, including projects
carried over from last year.
The departm ent of labor forecasts
as to baiiui..fc W ashington during
this year is that it will exceed per
formance in 1924 in many of the larger
centers of the state. Generally build
ing labor will be actively employed on
projects already under way and on
such as arc planned to be started in
the near future.
In Seattle the m ajor part of con
struction will consist of factory and
other industrial buildings. Everett,
Yakima, W enatchee and lloquiutn
have planned enough construction to
keep employed practically all the
local skilled labor during the year, it
was slated. The outlook for the north

Spokane section was declared ex

The forecast made by the depart
ment of labor for California as to con
struction of buildings makes cheerful
reading for Oregon and W ashington
lumbermen. Building construction In
California cities in 1924 exceeded the
very active year of 1923, and the de
partm ent of labor said that the pro
gram for 1925 promised to surpass
either of those years.
