RECORD CONSTRUCTION tEVEtli TO CONTINUE IN T 957 Outlook for $5.4 Billion Totol

Outlays for neu' construction are expected to total unusually large demands of businesses, g()verllmental units, almost $461 billion in 1957, abott 5/o above the record and individual consumers in a record-lrreaking economv. volume of more than $44 billion evident for 1956, accord- The value of w'ork put in place in 7957 on private noning to outlook estimates prepared jointly by the I)epart- farm residential construction is likely to total not cluite ments of Commerce and Labor.

Some expansion is likely in the coming year in most major types of construction. except new private housing. Because of the housing decline, private construction activity as a r,r'hole is expected to sholv only a nominal increase over last year's level, reaching a total of $31.4 billion in 1957, bfi public construction outlays will probably rise to $15 billion.

The anticipated volume of new construction in 1957 is based on the assumption that the general level of economic activity will advance moderately, u'ith employment continuing at record levels, and personal income reaching a new high. It was assumed also tl-rat international developments lvill not significantly affect construction activity in continental United States during the coming year.

Construction costs are expected to continue to rise, but at a rate slightly lower than. in 1956. Building materials generally should be in adequaie supply, with no more than mir-ror spot shortages likely, because of extensive gains in plant capacity and record production levels. Mortgage funds, however, rvill probably continue to be relatively scarce, especially for long-term, low down-payment loans, reflecting rvidespreadrcompetition for credit to meet the

$141 billion, about 3 percent belorv 1956 volume. Anticipatecl increases in spending for additions and alter:ttions to older homes ancl for construction of rnotels and other nonhousekeeping residential units will not be sufhcient to offset the 5 percent decrease expected in outlays for nen' homebuilding.

The decline in expenditures for new private housing, however, will probably be less than the drop in housing starts, since the dollar volume figure will reflect higher construction costs and the continuing trend toward larger homes with more quality features.

Prospects are that about a million new private nonfarm drvelling'units rvill be started this year. This compares with an average annttal rate (seasonaily adjusted) of 1,100,000 for the first 10 months of 1956, and a 1955 total of 1,310,000. The still relatively high level of l-rousing starts predicted for 1957, despite continnation of present mortgage financing problems, results in part frorn sustained consumer demand for better housing, backed by rising incomes; a large volume of retirements (demolished, abandoned, or converted units) from the housing supply; and a steadily increasing and highly mobile population.

A happy, peaceful, hopeful New Year to all our friends.

And a suggestion r or.**rl"oi if followed, might be of great worth, and bring cherished results.

This suggestion, if rollJ-.l aitigentty, persistently, continually, intelligently, and enthusiastically, would-in our opinion, bring great t.attT. * *

Something new and startling? Nothing of the sort.

Just an old, old story; :i";, mental, physical and financial investment.

Ponce de Leon roamed the world seeking the fountain of youth, and he had it right with him all the time and didn't know it.

The friendship, the good will, the trust, the love, the benevolent interest of the rest of your world is the great pot of gold at the rainbow: .1U..

Without it, business success is an empty urn, and gold turns to dross.

But if those who know you like and approve of you, you have everything else included. ***

Be agreeable ! Be friendly ! Be smiling ! Be pleasant ! Be likeable ! Be understanding ! That's the New Year prescription. :k :1. ri

Every child wants that kind of a father. Every woman wants that kind of a husband. Every employe wants that kind of an employer. Every employer wants that kind of an employe. :li t. r!

Every corporation wants that kind of a president. Every office wants that kind of an office holder.

Fact is, everyone tit e" i ,i."i rro"rre, kindly, agreeable, interesting people wherever al.t**o, whatever they do.

We like all our contacts to be that way, and we remember that sort of person when the otherwise valuable but not openly friendly and agreeable sort are forgotten. **1.

If you make the world like you it will mean a lot of things; that you have been not only friendly, but that you have been fair, honest and have manifested various other worthwhile characteristics that people admire and appreciate. ;r :1. :r

Make any other good resolutions you wish with regard to the next year, but make this one first, and if at the end of the year you can honestly say to yourself; "I have devoted the year to the job of making people like me," you should be able at the same time to point backward to a successful year in material ways.

For if your one uig 3ot*tt i, f.", i. to make people like you, your other jobs of all sorts might take care of themselves.
