Astonishing Building Statistics.
Building statistics show that in % leading
cities 81 420 houses of all kinds were erected in
1890 at cost in round numbers of s226, ,35l, 69l.
Of course there must have been many buildings
erected in smaller cities and townsville num-
ber beng estimated AZ 800. 600 buildings for the
year at a cost of not less than $500 000 000 These
figures denote wonderful prosperity and de-
yelopment but many believe they will be
eQualed if not surpassed this year. There
would be no doubt of it if it were not for the
labor trouble.
