South Carolina is making sub
stantial progress. I quote a Gov- ^
ernment report on this state:
“A total of $756,600,000 wjjs put'
into. new public cqnstructibn in
South Carolina last year, according {
to a report prepared by the
Charleston district office of the U.
S. Department of Commerce.
An increase of 292 per cent in
public construction over the 1951
figure reflected peak construction
operations at the Savannah....J^iver
Project.
C. W. Martin, district manager
of the Charleston office, said a
breakdown of the total new public
construction figure showed $5,-
100,000 spent on sewerage and
water facilities which was 36 per
cent less than in 1951; non-residen-
tial construction valued at $667,-
800,000 in 1952 increased 464 per
cent over the 1951 figures; construc
tion contracts lor highways were
$29,000,000 in 1952 which was a
one per cent increase over 1951;
and the remaining types of public
construction showed a 7.8 per cent
increase over the 1951 figures.
State and local public construc
tion rose 17,3 per cent between
1951 and 1952, with a 1952 figure of
class of construction shows between
$61,592,000. A breakdown of this
1951 and 1952, $6,342,000 spent for
residential construction in 1952, a
decrease of 37 per cent; $16,738,000
spent for educational construction,
an increase of 74 per cent; $9,506,-
000 spent on other non-residential
construction, an increase of 71 per
cent; utilities contracts were val
ued at $5,177,000, an increase of
254 per cent, tops in South At
lantic States; sewerage systems at
$1,674,000, a decrease of 57 per)
cent; water supply facilities, at $1,-
451,00, a decrease of 43 per cent.
Highways under state and local
public construction acounted for an
expenditure of $20,196,000, an in-1
crease of 48 per cent. A break-!
down of highway contracts showed, j
State Highway Departments spent
$19,979,000, a 6.2 per cent increase;
and county and municipal $218,000,
a decrease of 3.7 per cent. All other
construction in 1952 totaled $508,-
000.”
