Private Housing Completed in April Valued at $500 Million

Washington-Private homes completed in April are valued at $500 million, 5/o above the March figure and 6l% above April 1947, the Commerce Department reported.

Home building has been on the increase since February, when a seasonal low of $400 million worth of homes were put in place.

Total nern' construction in April is estimated at $1,269 million by the Commerce Department. This is a 9/o in' crease over the revised March total of $1,166 million. The departmeni said the increase was "somewhat smaller" than the normal seasonal advance between March and April. However, it added that April construction was 37/o higher than in the same month last year.

Total new private construction activity in April amounted to $990 million, also 5/o higher than in March' Within this total, farm and public utility construction increased along with residential construction, while a small decline occurred in non-residential building. Industrial construction, representing more than two-fifths of all non-residential building, was valued at $115 million, continuing its steady decline of the past 16 months, the department said.

In the public construction field, all types spurted during April, the total reaching a level Z4/o above March. Publig non-residential building and highway and sewer construction shorved the most marked increases, all registering a more than seasonal gain.
