Tho outlook for fall building operations

about the tina the business should be-
come brisk. Last years number was tar
below the number OF new houses crested
during the se-evlous year and so II has
been for the past three years.
The only buildlngs OF any eize that are
now being erected ars those OF N. Smell
lenburg Son at 7th and Market etraets
and that of N. b. Danforth on Market
street below Second. True it is that sew
eral smaller buildings are being erected,
but the number lie not sufficient TO keep
the many carpenters OF the city at work
any length OF time.
ssWith spring building operations became
duh and have continued and are likely to
for some time. The few carpenters who
have work are engaged at % day.
which ls % and 90 cents less than what they
received whom the business OF the country
was In a prosperous condition.
Tho contracting business Affects the
brlcklayer and they too are working on
short time and at reduction In waaes.
Some time ago the journeymen decided
to ask the bosses for an Increase to the
old rate Of wages but after second con-
sideratiOn decided that such action
would be unwisa.
Ono employer told reporter not long
since that had the men complained. In the
event OF tho liner ease being asked for, they
would have had to go out. as the money
they received for the work would not
warrant the Increase. Then the condition
of building affairs affects the brickmakerH
who are running their plants on shorter
time but at the same wage rate as several
years ago.
Building Inspector Grub has Issued
several permlts for small buildings and
many for alterations. but the number as
before said. lie far below that OF for.
NOR years. Fall usually brings a brisk.
ness In the building buslness but the
prospect this season unless II changes In
