Far Ahead of Preceding Years.

William NJ. Calder. superintendent OF the Bureau
of Buildings in Brooklyn. said yesterday that the
building trades strike had cost that borough about
& 66oOp0 If there had been strike building per-
rnis representing at least 100000 would probably
have been issued from his Office between May and
the middle of June. AS as it was clear that
the EMPLOYERS would fight the unions to an end
many applications for building permits already on
file IN the Buildings Department were withdrawn
although the troubles affected Brooklyn slightly. as
compared with Manhattan.
Mr. Calder declared, however that, despite the
setback 1903 would break all records of conStruc-
ton of new buildings in Brooklyn if the strike did
not last all summer. In preceding year have so
many building permits been issued within the first
five months, and the value of the new buildings tor
which permits have been taken out and which are
being erected, is nearly 100000 more than the
total estimated cost of the buildings in process
Of construction during the first five months in 1902
That year with one exception, was the most pros
