mere was a general decrease in the
building operations OF the principal
cities Of the United States during the
month OF June of % per cent for the
entire country While some cities
showed remarkable increases. others
only held their own. and the majority
showed decrease from, the same
month of last year
According to Construction News
permits were taken out in l22 prin-
cipal cities of the United states during
he month of June for the erection Of
2i.542 buildings at an estimated cost
of $63,l6S.30S, as compared with 25.-

This is the most significant decrease
as whole for the twelve months"

on the operations, but I Is very clear
that conditions are upon another plane
in this country, and while the low
level reflected by these figures lis not
below that Of decade ago it will not
be more than two months until the
figures will show Il gain in comparison
with the corresponding figures of last

ENPECT LARGER OPERATIONS
THAN EVER BEFORE
The operations will then proceed
at an increasing ratio until the ac-
emulation of wealth as we'll as ur-

again on he high level upon which
1t must continue in order TO accom-
modate the increasing population and
the growing industrial development
of the republic. II Is worth while TO
call attention TO tho large accumula-
ton of capital The accommodations of
capital are large, enterprise is stined
and the force il will exert when bust
ness conditions show n permanently
forward tendency and the obstacles to
continued progress removed, will
carry the totals far beyond anything
ever before heard of in this country.
"A careful individual analysis OF any
one section of the country or group
OF cities is not essential at this time,
