Structures Aggregating a valua.
ton of $250,00O Erected.
Total Falls slightly Behind That OF
Last Year-Uncertain Labor Con-
ditions and High Price OF Ma
terials among Causes.

The approximate value of buildings
erected in Burlington for the past year Is
s257, 900. This total falls about 50 900 short
of last years. Last years building opera
ticns we're less expensive than for several
years past.
There are two main reasons for this
falling off. The first and the most i'm
portant Is the disagreement between tho
masons' union and the contractors. The
other reason for the decrease in building
is that this year. as last, the prices Jf
lumber as well as labor have been high.
The building OF tho greatest value which
Is included in the above total is the Nor
rill hall, now under process of construc-
ton at the southern end of University
place. The approximate cost Of this build
ing will be 10000. Next in value is the
house on Spear street, erected by Charles
II. Foote Of Chicago at an expense of s33, b.
ooo, which is exclusive of the cow barns,
the house for the gas plant, coal building
and power house connected with the resi-
dence.
The $4,000 telephone building being
erected on College street is not included in
this total No work has been done Jn
the federal building during the year, al
though it Is expected that Il will require
between $4,000 and $4,000 more to com
plete the structure.
Henry ITagar has now under construc-
ton on Adams street a double house
which will cost $1,000. NJ. j Barnes has
built Il tenement block at the corner 81
North Willard and LOOMS street which
