Contractor, shows that Salt Lake City
has gained 80 per cent in value of build
ing permits issued during October over
the value for the same month of 1907.
The amount of permits for October,
1908, was $347.956, as against $4,000
for October, 1907.
Other cities which have shown gains
are Chicago, 25 per cent; Dallas, 52i
