In this connection the Construction News
says:
New York city Is to blame for a de-
crease in the totals of building operations
for July. Permits were taken out during
the month in thirty-two Of the leading cit
les, according to official reports to Con-
struction News, for the construction Of
II, $50 buildings, involving a total cost of
$50 060, 1913, against 10,949 buildings aggre-
eating in cost s52,51s,3s1 for the CORE
spending month a year ago, decrease of
1,O31 buildings and 81, 451, 4SS, or per cent.
This is the first month of the year showing
a decline as compared with the correspond
ing period year ago. The decrease Is
it. The metropolis shows a remarkable
falling off as compared with the same fig
ures year ago. Otherwise there would
be handsome gain. In New York city
permits were taken out during the month
for 321 buildings involving a total cost OF
81, 439,5 $50, against SOB buildings, involving
$21 ,45S, AGO year ago, decrease OF 2O2
buildings and $10,O13, $40.
"'It is difficult to account for this state
of affairs in the metropolis. 1t Is believed,
however, that 1t Is due to the condition of
the money market. New York city has,
however, for many years shown remark
able activity in construction and falling
off was to be expected. The boom in build
ing in that city set in some years ago, long
before much activity was shown in other
sections of the country, and it Is safe to
say that it has lasted longer than most PEG.
pie thought it would. It is believed that
with decline in interest rates the me-
tropolis would show renewed activity.
at should not be forgotten that this Is
the dull season in building operations, IN
fact they have continued upon a much
more active scale than ever before. July
was too late to begin construction for faH
occupancy and too early for spring renting.
Yet the totals Of building continue to grow,
ample proof of which is to be found in the
fact that twenty-three cities out of the
thirty-two included In the ACCOMPANYING
list show handsome gains. For Illustration
Portland had a gain of 1874 per cent. Biz

New Construction.

Ground for the new. Office building on the
site of the old Stone mansion will be broken
early in October. it is reported, and not be-
forethat time. as has been stated. This
office building, with the cost of the ground,
will mean an investment Of not far from
100000. 1t is said it will be one of the
most ornamental and imposing structures In
the country. The plans. which have al
ready been published, illustrate a very at
tractive structure.
Work on the new 100000 round houses
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will be
started early next month. In keeping with
architecture of the day. especially here at
the capital, efforts are being made to make
the plans for these buildings attractive,
even though they are intended for very
prosaic purpose. These round houses are
to be located at the yards of the company
north of New York avenue between 9th and
18th streets northeast. There are to be
machine shops. tool rooms and other build
ings the site.

Rise Of the Modern Abattoir.

From the American Monthly Review of Reviews.
Physicians of age and experience every
where will bear out the statement that
cases of Illness resulting from the consump-
ton of tainted or unwhoesome animal food
were far more numerous before the era OF
the large packing houses, with their re-
frigerating systems, than at the present
time. So frightful were the evils resulting
from the prevalence in European towns and
cities of innumerable small slaughter houses
that they have been almost universally
abolished by law to be replaced by large
public abattoirs of model construction and
appointments, in which every process and
every detail come under the most rigid and
expert scientific supervision by the authori-
ties. This has gone hand In hand with
analogous movements in the direction or
great public market houses. where all sorts
of food products come under inspection
and-most important Of all-with the move
ment for thorough-going inspection and con-
troll Of the milk supply. The result has
been the saving of the lives of millions or
infants and small children, and the marked
decline of the average yearly death rate.
Conditions in this country are SO different
from those Of Europe that the municipal
abattoir system would not have met our
needs, but the tendency Is similar. The
meat packing business had grown up as
great interstate industry, with its agencies
and branches and its refrigerator plants
in every important city or town In the whole
country. Thus, the local slaughter houses
for the most part disappeared, through the
pressure of a superior kind of competition.
There may prove yet to be some field in
this country for the public abattoir. But
while that question may come under dis
cTssion, We have an immediate duty. and
a very obvious one. We must adopt and
apply the most rigid sort of inspection in
the existing packing houses to the animal
products that are distributed food. and
that enter into what is known as Interstate
commerce The individual states and the
municipal governments will meanwhile. In
Sc far as they are able and enlightened.
apply similar methods of inspection to the
meat supplies that do not cross the bound
aries of the state and therefore do not come
within the sphere of the national govern
mentS power to regulate.
