"When signs of an upturn in con struction contracts first appeared in April, Dr. Smith stated, "we reported that the recovery seemed to have a broad, solid base. This fact has been more than confirmed in May and June, with the dollar figures exceeding all expectations. "A number of very large utility contracts, particularly in connec tion with the St. Lawrence project, helped boost the June total," he said, "but the most encouraging feature was perhaps the big in crease in housing activity across tiie nation. The effect of government pro grams was particularly noticeable in June, since public ownership contracts were 30 per cent ahead of the same month of last year. Nevertheless, privately owned projects also rose by a substantial 11 per cent.
