in building operations in the District of

ed June 30 last than in any previous
year. according to the annual report of

tho capitals building operations for the
period mentioned amounted to sic. 772, 183,
as compared with 314. .89S. .O84 for the pre-

Better Buildings.
The building inspector states that there
has been marked improvement in the
general character OF construction OF
buildings, this being particularly true IN
the case of apartment houses, office
buildings and theaters. Ffreproof con-
struction has been more generally en-
ployed, it is pointed out, fully 75 per cent
Of the apartment houses erected being
built Of freproof materials.
The report shows that whereas there
was a decrease in the previous fiscal
year in the number of miscellaneous new
buildings, dwellings and apartment houses
and an increase in new buildings and re-
pairs made, the reverse was true In the
year Just ended. there having been an in
crease in miscellaneous new buildings
and a decrease in business buildings and
repairs made to existing structures.
