Notes:               The Building Materials And Construction Industries Division Of The
                     Business And Defense Services Administration Is Responsible For
                     Compiling These Data. The Composite Index Measures Changes In The
                     Physical Volume Of Output Of Ten Groups Of Construction Materials,
                     Which Together Represented About 50 Per Cent Of The Estimated Value Of
                     Shipments Of All Construction Materials In 1947. Materials Included
                     Are Iron And Steel Products; Lumber And Wood Products; Portland
                     Cement, Millwork, Paint, Varnish, And Lacquer, Asphalt Products;
                     Heating And Plumbing Equipment; Clay Construction Products; Gypsum
                     Products; And Plumbing Fixtures. An Index For Each Of The Ten Groups
                     Is Constructed From Data On Production, Sales, Or Shipments Of One Or
                     More Specific Materials.Data Are Compiled Quarterly For Gypsum
                     Products And Plumbing Fixtures, And Monthly For The Other Eight
                     Groups. Indexes Are Derived On A 1947-49 Base, Using Physical Output
                     Data Multiplied By 1947 Prices. Seasonal Adjustment Is By The Source.
