Enlarging on this. the B of M says :the value of construction contracts awrded in May. amounting to $140 millions. was “unprrtcedented” and compared with a previous monthly peak of only $86 millions in June. 1941. Contracts awarded in the first five months of the year ran to $349 millions. or 38 per cent higher than in the same period last year. U. S.
