Gonstruction Contracts Rise

The value of new consffuction contracts rose 2Vo in April to an annualized $330.9 billion, according to F.W. Dodge.

"After a subdued start to 1997, the construction industry appears to be picking up momentum," said Dodge's Robert A. Murray, noting a strong public works sector. "The recent improvement for non-residential building might be characterized as 'so far so good,' but further growth for this sector will be needed in coming months to ensure that construction as a whole remains in the plus column for a sixth straight year."

Residential building fell 4Vo in April to an annualized $139.8 billion. Single family housing slipped 5Vo,including a lOVo drop in the South Atlantic, 5Vo drop in the West, and 2Vo increase in the South Central.

L-P Looks Again At Alaska

Louisiana-Pacific and Sealaska Timber Corp. are considering a joint wood products manufacturing complex near Juneau, Ak., that could restore jobs lost earlier in the year when L-P was forced to close mills at Ketchikan Pulp Co.

Terry Buys Mar Vista Lumber

The Terry Cos. have acquired Mar Vista Lumber, Mar Vista, Ca., from George Swartz and Terry Laughlin.

Swartz and Laughlin joined Mar Vista Lumber as teenagers in 1955 when their fathers purchased the yard which Swartz's srandfather had owned during the 1920s.

The location became Terry's 14th location on June 1. under new store manager Stan Cherry, but Swartz and Laughlin will stay on for two months to aid the transition.

Swartz, 60, will spend more time at a second home in Washington, but would like to continue working with the lumber industry on national legislative issues, possibly through the Lumber Association of California & Nevada.

Laughlin, 57, may return to the lumber business, as well, perhaps at the wholesale level.
