1 Total includes additions and alterations and nonhousekeeping units not shown separately.2 Office buildings, warehouses, stores, restaurants, and garages.3 Farm, institutional, public utilities, and all other private.4 Includes Federal grants-in-aid for State and locally owned projects.5 New series in 1946 reflects differences due to the new higher level series of housing starts and farm construction ex-
penditures and the reduced level value in place series for public utilities. See "Construction Report C30-61 (Supplement)"for a description of the differences.
6 New series differs from old in that it reflects differences in 1962 due to the introduction of new series for private non-residential buildings and differences in 1963 due to the introduction of new series for State and locally owned publicconstruction. See "Construction Report C30-65S" for a description of the differences.
7 Preliminary estimates by Council of Economic Advisers.Source: Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, except as noted.

penditures and the reduced level value in place series for public utilities. See "Construction Report C30-61 (Supplement)"for a description of the differences.
* New series differs from old in that it reflects differences in 1962 due to the introduction of new series for private non-residential buildings and differences in 1963 due to the introduction of new series for State and locally owned publicconstruction. See "Construction Report C30-65S" for a description of the differences.
