BUILDING MATERIAL HIGH
Prices Have Stunted Building Operations
in This CITY

Builders, architects and real estate
men are complaining about the high
prices of building material. The real
estate market in the city is brisker
than for some time, but sales of lots
are held up by the price of building
material.
There are more inquiries about prop
critics than usual for this season of the

there are no plans to make, and build
ers say the high prices affect them
more than the others.

speelal ID the Evening Journal.


Newark May 26.-The statement in
the New Castle correspondence of the
Evening Journal last evening to the
effect that there were seven cases of
smallpox in this town is entirely with
out foundation. As a matter of fact,
there is not a single case of the malady

The disease was mildly epidemic
here about a quarter Of a century ago,
and at that time was confined to the
colored population. The sanitary con-
dition OF the town is excellent, and at
the present time there is no sickness
worth mentioning.
