Dwelling Units Construction for June

Western light construction in June continued its upward trend over 1958, according to building permit figures compiled by Western Building. June permits tabulated showed a valuation of $484,439,519 for the month-a 21/o gain over June 1958. The total was down from May's high of $519 million, however.

June's dwelling-unit total valuation showed $284 million, well above the $225 million figure compiled for June 1958. Survey totals of 355 identical reporting agencies for total dwelling units show permits up from 21,811 in June 1958 to 26,A46 in June 1959.

Statehood continues to spark Hawaii's construction, with the Aloha state's $18 million total showing a 50/o gain over June 1958. Statehood seemed to have the opposite effect on Alaska, where construction dropped from $2,338,382 in June 1958 to last month's $1,885,7m, but the figure was up over May 1959. Despite the increased valuation of dwelling unit permits, the number of dwelling permits was generally down from last year, indicating a higher per-unit building investment. Only the states of Oregon, Washington, California and Hawaii showed significant increases in numbers of dwelling permits. Southern California jurisdictions continue in their usual top spots of the 25 Western leaders, but Honolulu in continuing its building growth advanced in June to fourth place with a $17 million total.
