BUILDING OPERATIONS.

The impression has been general that the record of building for the past six months would show a very material decrease from previous years but the statistics for this period do not show the falling off that was ex- pected. The year 1912 was an excep- tionally good year. and permits issued at that time for many Important pro- jects. Outside of that year the record for the cities of New Haven, Bridge port, Hartford, Waterbury, Stamford and Springfield makes a better show ing than for any previous year.

Professor Silvestri offers advice re-

from Mexico and South America than
from Africa, on the score Of distances,
also recommending India as source
