Trinity counties.
Floyd M. Dill, Yrcka-Dunsmuir
manager of the company, reported
more than 25,000 copies of the book
will be issued replacing the one
issued last November.
Sixteen more pages are con
tained in the new edition compared

crease of 241.
ever reported for any single month,
according to F. W. Dodge Corpor
ation.
The June contracts were 12 per
cent above the previous high rec-i
ord which had been established
only a month earlier, in May, and
they were 18 per cent higher than
in June of last year.
The June figure was pushed up
ward by large increases in public
utility, public works and residen
tial contracts.
According to Dodge vice presi
dent and economist Dr. George
Cline Smith, the gains were general
through all types of construction,
with only a few exceptions.
"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. Regardless of owner
ship, the net effect of this upsurge
in the nation's largest Industry is
bound to be a big boost to the rest
of the economy, which will be felt
for many months to come as work
proceeds on the projects now un
der contract," added Dr. Smith.
Contracts for residential build
ings in June were valued at $1,-
364,231,000, a gain of 20 per cent
over a year ago. Contracts lor
large residential buildings showed
the largest percentage increase
69 per cent. However, one and two-
family houses, the bulk of the resi
dential category, also rose sharp
ly, 17 per cent ahead of last year.
the number of dwelling units rep
resented by the June contracts to
talled 107,014, up 24 per cent from
June 1957.
Heavy engineering contracts in
June amounted to $1,479,307,000,
a gain of 64 per cent over the same
month last year. Public works con
tracts were up 22 per cent and
utilities contracts were 225 per cent
higher than a year ago. Street and
highway contracts in June rose 45
per cent above the year-earlier lev

power systems were up 479 per
