BIGGEST YEAR

Figures to Date Pass 1911 De-
 spite s90O,000 Hoiel.

April Alone Had 174 Permits Issued, Making 1t Record for Any Single
 Month for Improvements q,
 at New Haven. tss

New Haven-The April report of
 Building inspector Austin, combining
 with it statistics for the hrst four
 months of the year is strong tndl- cation that before tne end ol lAe year,
 1912 will surpass aii others in the amount of new buildings in this city as 1911 surpassed all preceding years.
 For the month just passed l74 permits
 were issued by the bullding inspector and the greatest number of permits ever issued in d single month by that office. Last year. for the same month. II5 permits were given out and Inc high monthly record for 1911 was l2l permits, which were issued h the month of August Four hundred and thirty.nlne permits nave been issued this year ln comparison with but 334 for a similar period last year. In num- Der Of permits issued for the month of April and for the first four months of this year, significant increases are shown over the figures for 1911, but the pecuniary increase in the value Of the permits Is even more marked. An Increase Of over s350. 900 is shown for this April in permit values over last year. Tor the first four months of 1912 over S170.0o0 increase was shown over the permits values of the same months in 1911 This Is truly remarka- ble in view of the fact that the ss00,- 000 permit for ths Taft Hotel WAS is- sued in January of last year The spring business in the building office has been a record breaker. At the be ginning of this year, Building Inspect or Austin, with the almost million dol lar permit handicap of the Taft Hotel, did not expect to catch up with the 1911 totals until the end of the pres ont year if, indeed. 1912 could equal 1a11 at all.

The Jew asked to look at the JeWelry and after he had examined 1t, exclaimed to Mrs. Abuza in English, which the Pole was not supposed to understand, that the stuff was worth fully $500 and that it would be a great bargain al s400. He asked her to go partners with him and buy the trinkets. Mrs. Abuza jumped at the chance and having no, money with her, offered to give up a pair of earrings worth s300, which she was wearing. as her part Of the pur- chase price The Jew" drew out $40 in cash, which he said was all the money he had with him.
