Washington is twenty-sixth in the list
Of cities showing the expenditure Of
each for buildings during December.
1872 This is several notches below the
usual position of the Capital. but Is not
unexpected on account of the slump in

ing to figures compiled by Construc-
ton News, 26l permits were taken out
in Washington for a total of $474.233.
This is a decrease of As per cent from
last year.
In most cities December was an UNI
usually good building month Taking
seventy-nine cities collectively, the
month showed an increase Of SIS
buildings and s6,1SS,SSs over December,
1911, or an increase of Is per cent. There
were gains in forty-nine and losses in
thirty cities, and the gains were evenly
distributed over the various sections OF
the country. DEFENDERS permit record
for New York far outstrips that of any
preceding month for some time. and
corresponding month of 1911.
Salt Lake City had the phenomenal
gain Of 5.S2S per cent over the corre-
spending month a year before, leading
all otter cities as to increase. Sew
eral OF the larger cities, Chicago, San
Francisco, Portland, and others showed
small decreases.
