Forty-four Cities Contract

Real estate dealers have long been
aware that this has been an OF year
for new buildings There have !Dcen
sales in plenty Of a kinds Of structures
already 5ailt, and or lots OF land iu all
cities: but building on vacant land,
and the erection of new buildings IN
place Of old, have been disappointing
IN this connection. IL IS interesting 20
note tnat the current issue Of the Con-
struction News states that building at
last has begun 20 improve, having
shcTn considerable gain for June over
the previous months Of this year The
statement continues
There was a decrease OF j. per cent,
however. in comparison with the same

1t is interesting TO note that New
York city IS among the list OF cities
showing a gain. Permits were taken
ou, in that city in June for buildings
involving a total estimated cost Of Sl5,-
s6S. 400 against SI2.I3l,57J for the CORE

crease Of % per cent. Fourteen Of the
cities IN the list show an increase Of
from 10 l34 per cent In widely varying
localities, remote from each other II
may be surprising 10 note that build

as Birmingham has an increase OF 15f

James L. Parsons. the man who built
the new Municipal Building, made the
following statement:
Il am OF the opinion that all con-
tracing firms erecting buildings aDJye
the third class should be subject TO an
examining board and be licensed 20
practice their trade.
This will insure practical men at
the head OF each new building during
the course Of erection, for none but
practical men can pass such an eXami-
nation Further than this I think mat
each builder after he has secured his
license should be compelled 20 put Up a
bond insuring the Commissioners that
the building laws will be strictly OBJ
served. the bond being forfeited IN case
it can be proved that ne has violated
the laws"
Asked what he thought Of lie ansng

is no need OF this If the buffers are

only too soon show the effects OF time,
and that once in a delapidated condi-

A COLLISION.

A collision of Charles Goodhie Kings auto and horse and wagon driven by Claude Bristol of Marketable occurred here near the marble shop of the late N. Bolles, late on Monday evening of last week, resulting in the complete demolishment of Bristol's light wagon and flinging Bristol and his companion, Fred Rydell, on opposite sides of the highway and producing a cut by his fall on Rydell's head which required 10 stitches by Dr Denslow of Marbledale to close up. The horse was extricated from the wagon by the collision and es- capped with slight scratches. The auto slid across the road and almost into the Aspetuck stream with the occupants before the chauffeur could control it. One front lamp was broken and 1t was otherwise shaken up so that MT King decided it would be best and safest for a pair of oxen to haul it to his Arrow Point farm house than allow the chauf- feua to again apply power to it that night. Mir and Mrs King and the chauf- feur had a narrow escape from most serious injury by the overturning of the auto. which stopped on face wall just below the mill dam fall of water con- nected with the shop opposite. Bristol escaped nearly uninjured and Rydell's hurt is such that it is hoped in a few days he will be out again.
