1 Estimated monetary value of new construction put in place during the periods shown. Including major additions and alterations but excluding maintenance and repair. These figures differ from permit.valuation data reported in the tabulations for building-permit activity (tables F-3, F-4, and F-5) and the data on value of contract awards (tahle F-2).

* Includes revisions made annually. Data have been revised from 1946 and complete monthly detail for 1945-58 is available upon request.

* Preliminary.

• Expenditures by privately owned public utilities for nonresidential build. Ing are included under “Public utilities."

Includes Federal contributions toward construction of private nonprofit bospital facilities under the National Hospital Program.

* Includes nonhousekeeping public residential construction as well as bousekeeping units.

? Covers all building and nonbuilding construction, except production facilities (which are included in public industrial building), and Armed Forces housing under the Capebart program (which is included in publie residential building).

NOTE: For a description of these series, see Techniques of Preparing
Major BL8 Statistical Serles, BLB Bull. 1168 (1954). See also Technical
Note on Revised Estimates of Residential Additions and Alterations, 1945-86
(In Monthly Labor Revlew, August 1957. p. 973).

Labor Statistics and 0.8. Department of Commerce, Businoss and Defense
Services Administration,

Responsibility for the collection and compilation of all statistics on housing and con-
struction activity was shifted from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to the Bureau of the
Census of the U.S. Department of Commerce on July 1, 1959. Future issues of the
Review will no longer include the building and construction tables (F-1 through F-6).
These series are being continued by the Bureau of the Census and current data may be
obtained from that agency.

1 Data relate to building construction authorized by local building permits in all localities (over 7,000) having building-permit systems--rural nonfarm as well as urban. Figures on the amount of construction contracts awarded for Federal projects and for public housing (Federal, State, and local) in permit issuing places are added to the valuation data (estimated cost entered by builders on building-permit applications) for privately owned projects; construction undertaken by State and local governments is reported by local oficials. Because permit valuations generally understate the actual cost of construction and because of lapsed permits and the lag between permit

Issuance or contract-awarded dates and start of construction, these data do not represent the volume of building construction started.

9 Revised. s Includes a retroactive building permit issued during the month for a steel plant, valued at $120 million, which was actually begun early in 1957.

NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.
