Furthermore, Mr.. Sibley's esti-

claim that they have evidence that

NEW METHODS WILL
MAKE TOTAL BIGGER

Building Inspector George
Trust has devised a new form OF
application for building permits
which he hopes will more clearly
reveal the exact cost of new con-
struction. Heretofore the build
ing records have not been what
they should because citizens did
not report the total cost of con-
struction when getting permits.
A building that was to cost
$4,000 was put in at that or less
when there was possibly $4,000
more in plumbing and other ex-
tras to go in later.
The new forms are expected to
cover everything, and should help
to swell the building reports to
their proper proportions.
