Claimed That French Cruiser Aider
Colombian Troops to Land.
Curacao, Sept. 20, via Haytian Gable.
1t is alleged here on good authority
that Venezuelan official circles are
much perturbed and annoyed over the
reported action of the French cruiser
Suchet when the steamer Alexandra
BiXio landed Colombian troops at La
Hacha Sept. 8. When the Colombian
gunboat General Pinzon arrived the
Suchet, according to the story of the
Venezuelans, placed herself between
the General Pinzon and the Venezuelan
gunboats, thus preventing an ex-
chage of shots. Shortly after this, the
General Pinzon steamed away.
About noon the same day the Vene-
zuelan officials assert, the Alexandra
Bixio arrived under French flag The
Venezuelans say the Suchet placed her
self between their gunboats and the
Colombians during the landing.
France is generally supposed to be
friendly to Colombia because of canal
concessions.

up the situation. Mr.. Brady referred to
what he had TO say officially in his last
annual report on the subject, and showed
the monthly reports of the operations OF
his office for the present fiscal year as
the basis of a comparison between what
was done last year and this year.
The Inspector informed the Commits
sloncTS IN ms last annual report that the
number of permits issued fer new build
ings in the fiscal year ended June 80,
1893. was 1866, while the number for the
fiscal year OF 1890 was S92, showing a de-
crease Of 1G4 But the lesser number of
buildings il 1850 cost in the aggregate
81 .259 0tJ more than the greater number in
1899. Moreover, the valuation of all
1899 was s., ,565. .525, and that Of 1900 was
6,795 35f, showing an increase of $l225,s29
The monthly reports for the current
fiscal year show the operations OF the In
sJectors office for eleven months. II is
impossible. therefore, at the present time
to make a complete comparison for the
present fiscal year. But the aggregate
of operations for eleven months ending
May 81 was $i.J52 ,234, and the indications
are that the valuation of building opera
tions this year win be somewhat less than
last year This is not surprising when II IS
taken into account that the permits for
four of the largest buildings erected in
recent years were taken out during the
fiscal year ending June 20, 1860.
The number of brick dwellings for
eleven months is 4f5, against 5l9 for
twelve months of the last fiscal year, 50
that there viii be appa rentlE SllEhL IN
crease in the number of this class Of
structures
The monthly reports for the current
fis al year give some interesting facts
relative to apartment houses. For the
eleven months permits have been issued
for JOS OF these structures, valued al 81
81 $50 against s. for the twelve months
covered by the last annual report, valued
at So 25S. In the month Of May this year.
70 permits for apartment houses were is
sued, only nine less than for the entire
fiscal year Of 1900 But these 4g cost
S2Tl, 400, showing much less cost per house.
TWcnty-fouT Cf these structures, for
which permits were issued in March, viii
cost $347, 200, or S14,4i0 each, on the aver
age. But the two for which permits
were issued last July were estimated 20
cost 1900, while the cost of one for
which the permit was issued in January
was 5000 and one Kermit issued in De
cenber called for a structure worth $780,,
600.
As Mr. Brady pointed out these figures
show q great variety of building. When
an apartment house IS spoken of under
the operations of the office of the Inspcc-
ter of Buildings this year it means some
thing quite different from the towering
structures which dot some Of the build
ing sites in the northwest section. 1t is
quite evident that there are TO be flats
for the man of moderate means, and
small salary, as well as for the rich and
the high paid official Of the Government.

he said, was that the flats were heated
by steam, and the family in the other
house paid for the heating. He thought,
however, that the difference in rental left
q good margin to the owner Of the flats,
after paying for the heating.
The reporter asked whether it was not
a popular fad to live in fats, and whether
there would not be time when people
would leave them and go back TO the
comforts Of home in a single house.
Il do not think So was the reply.
You see the apartment houses generally
are finely built on good sites, convenient
to the cars, the departments, down town,

space at the expense Of comfort, some
times, but after all family is very cosy

big coal bills to disturb ones calucula-

be paid on the last day OF grace when

advantages in living in a fat and they
are more than one realizes until he has
tried it.

But in this mans mind the most sig
riacant fact connected with the invest
raent Of money in buildings is the great
number Of apartment houses spTinging up
IL all sections Of the city. Although The
flats" as they are called, have been
going UP at the rate OF fifty or more a
year for several years, stih the number
increases at rate that would appear to
