In view OF the fact that 1t has been
practically an impossibillty to secure
building loans for any Office building or
loft building improvement this ear 1t
was feared that an operation running
into $4,000. 900. as this one will. could
not he financed. particularly when II be-
came known that Mr.. Russell and his
associates wanted to be paid on In cash
In full before the building loan could
become a lien on their property. How
ever, n building and permanent loan Of
81. 500. 900 was finally procured by Will
lam A. White & sons from the Metro
politan Life insurance Company. The
loan Is for ten years from the completion
OF the building and Is to be at the rate
OF 6 per cent during the construction.
5h per cent per annum for five years
after construction and 5 per cent per
annum for the balance OF the term.
Meanwhile. the Brett Il Goode Com
pany. agents for the new building. were
negotiating with the leading publishers
and printers OF the country for space
there.
The project called for an office build
ing of the best type. but so designed AS
to meet any changes In conditions that
might occur in that district within the
next fifty years.
Extra heavy steel will be used in the
building. the floors made sound proof
ana an elaborate system Of bracing pro-
vided for, in order to prevent vibration
or the noise Of presses being trans

Up to the present time leases have
been signed with the Bartlett-Orr Press,
Eugene c. Lewis Company, Rogers Il
Company. Edgar Printing and Stationery
Company. and with two other firms
whose names are withheld for the
present. The space taken by these COM
panles includes the twenty-second or

able amount Of work. Returns from
twenty -one New England cities show that
building operations planned last month
we're 20.5 per cent. more thar during
July, 1914, and the value OF construction
throughout New England has increased
29.s per cent. In every other section OF
the country building conditions were far
from satisfactory.
Reports 70 Bradstreets journal showed
heavy decreases both In the number OF
buildings projected and the amount OF
money put into new construction dur
Ing the July period.
Commenting on the countrywide de-
creases Brodstreets Journal Of yester-
day said that 1t was evident that the
building trade lags behind some others
In the movement toward improvement
noted In the past few months.
There were 2l,2i3 permits granted to
builders during the month OF July and
the estimated value of the structures
planned was s63,257.204, decreases OF
respectively 79 and 1871 per cent. from
the like month n year ago. which showed
a gain OF 81 per cent. In value over
July two years ago. This decrease OF
1871 per cent. however. compares with
a decrease OF 21.S per cent. In June
from the like month a year ago. the
only exception to the general tendency
toward a decrease is found in the New
England group. In the other groups de-
creases OF 6.s 10 1873 per cent. were
shown In permits. while values fell on
from 81 per cent. to as much as b37
per cent. the heaviest decrease being
shown In the far West.
In many New England cities the July
expenditures were two or three times
those of a year ago. for watch activity
in munitions trades Is reported largely
responsible. There were thirteen cities
Of the country In which expenditures
were 81, 900. 900 or over. and New York

decline. In the cases OF seven out OF
thirteen cities with expenditures in ex-
cess Of 100000. gains shown varied
greatly. In Bridgeport and Akron the
increases were 23S and ISL per cent. re-
spectively Baltimore shows "A gain Of

per cent. and Minneapolis II per cent.
In all. only hfty-four cities out OF 14S.

p%enditures over a year z in July.
Fol seven months OF the year ending
