JULY BUILDINGS
TOTAL 81 900 $40.
ALMOST "a RECORD MONTH IN
isss NdINNEAPo OILS PERMITS,
Added to the Building Permits should
y Be Listed the Plumbing, Electric
} Sign and Heating, Making Gxand
Total Far Above Best Previous Mark.

. Minneapolis has reasonsto be proud
of it's building figures for the month of
July. It was intimated last week that
records would be broken and this has
been verified. It throws all July rec
ords In the shade and, withaone excep-
5tion,. is. the biggest month, in the his
tory of the city. :. The completed rec
ords show that the number OF permits
issued was 474 with an aggregate cost
of $1,6O0,S20. ~ ~
This large sum is exceeded only by
May, 1889, which has a record Of
81, 654 900, altho it is suspected that
building estimates in those days were
considerably inflated. % s@s &Z
To the building permits should be
added the following: $685..
4es plumbing permits, to cost. .......... $75,4e5
al6 electric permits to cost. 1890. $685.
OF heating permits to cost. MINIMUM. II ,n6
ss house house moving permits to cost 1905
These swell the total number Of per
mits to 1866 and the cost to $1,731 1914
making the month without question the
greatest In the history Of the city.
Last year was an exceptionally good
year for building, but 1906 will be
greater, if the ratio Of. .increase$is con
;tinued.. The total cost Of buildings fol-
the first seven months Of 1905 is $5,754,
376, as compared with SIS, $3.50 $40 for the
same period Of last year. 1t has beer
| reported that there has been a decided
falling off in the building Of houses, bnt
this impression is a mistaken one. Last
year 1,00S' permits for dwelling houses
we're issued in the, first half year, anc
tof an equal period this year the mum

Among the more, important structures

him he grew worse, and death resulted
a few hours afterward.-r Coroner Kist.

be beyond belief. lie read the Bible

In one year, and once in one day. lie
made his own concordance, and could
give almost any chapter and verse in
any part of the Bible at call. For forty
years he read the Greek Testament
through carefully once Il quarter. His
reason for this close and accurate
searching Of the Scriptures Is given by
DR.. Pope in the Christian Advocate. as
follows: "Oncc upon time l called
at n drug store and asked for certain
medicine. The clerk went to the back
Of the store and laid his hand on the
unmarked vial. How do You know
that this is tho medicine I inquired
for?' He replied, L know my store.
