WILL PASS ATLANTA
IN new BUILDINGS
RIG MOND. VA-specjal-l

R c H NJ o N D. VA.-Special.-
When Building Inspector Beck this
morning put his signature to the per-
nit authorizing Nj. NJ. Strause to re-
model the hall at 207 North Foushee
Street, recently purchased from the
Richmond Aerie of Eagles, the build
ing operations in this city for 1911
passed the 100000 mark, and be-
fore the month is out several other
large permits will probably be issued
on plans now being examined.
Inspector Beck believes that
the total for 1911 will be not less
than 100000 greater than the
Atlanta, Ga, total. though at this
time no definite comparison can
be made, as the Atlanta figures
are not available.
Last year the building opera
lions here amounted TO $I,O12-
600, aS against S6,0OO,OOO i'm At
Ianta, but the figures of the lat
ter city included WoodShet1,. ont
houses and Lighthouses, of which
there are MANY in the Georgia
metropolis, while none of those
items was included in the Rich
mOnd total.
At noon today the total business for
the month was $34S.330, an increase
OF $l9S,S69 over the figures of De
cember 1910.
Il am looking for record breaker
next year." Inspector Beck said. This
office has been informed that two
buildings costing not less than $780,
600 viii so up early in the year, while
the general prosperity is such that
building operations cannot fail to re-
spond. Next year will not only be
the biggest building year for Rich
mond. but Richmond will far outstrip
its nearest competitor in the South
as elsewhere"

Will be very heavy, as the buildings
contained all the patterns Of various
castings made at the plant for the
past fifteen years.
Many other buildings were threat

The origin is unknown, but il is the
opinion of many that a spark from a

AS soon as the blaze was discovered

The county has no fire company
