And brooklyn Spending More Than Phila-
delphia on New Homes.

The Construction Ne'rs OF Chicago prints
table showing the building operations of the
month Of May in the twenty leading cities OF
the country. IT shows that in May this year
buildings to cost S2H. iii .OSi we're begun. as
compared with 'Sl4.O4S19O in the month OF
May. 1903. New York leads all the cities OF
the country both in numbers and.in cost. In
the city OF New York there were begun In May
1888 new buildings which were to cost ST.
04G.4oO. or considerably more than half the
total amount to be spent In all the cities com
blned. More interesting, still; however, are
the figures Of the borough Of Brooklyn. whore
new homes for the New Workers are going up.
In Brooklyn in May alone 7l2ncw houses were
begun. They are to cost S2,SWOS.,. or an
average OF r: ore than S.. 900 each. The only
city that leads BROOKLYN borough in the num-
her OF new structures started Is Philadelphia.
There !A3 new houses were started. but their
total cost Is to be only S2.3Gt!sW. or an av-
erage Of only little more than 'S2.4uO each.
The gain in BROOKLYN over 1S'S is 257 rer
cent. and that Of Philadelphia only AZ per cent
OF the twenty cities Brooklyn leads in the. per-
centage OF gain.
