Significant omen is the revival in building.
Practically every city in Kansas shows building permits this year far in excess, both in number and value, of those for the corresponding period a year ago. With few exceptions they exceed 1934 figures. Typical is Dodge City, in western Kansas, with July clearings the highest for the month since 1932. Cigaret and gasoline tax payments in July provide another indication of the business trend. The Southwestern Bell Telephone Company sees reason for optimism in the fact that people are putting their phones back in service.
