OF BUILDING PERMITS.
1870 S5.9lI.S59

There is great activity in existing prof.
ects, notably in the business district.
The work of cnlarging the kennard-
PYLE store, Market street below Seventh,
is well under way and indicates what the
exclusive improvement there will be;
The most important project now under
way is that of the new Delaware Trust
Go. Building at the northeast corner OF
Ninth and Market streets. This building
is rapidly nearing completion and 1t Is
expected to be ready for use prlor TO the
time specified in the terms OF the con.
tract. The Wilmington Savings Fund
Building, also at Ninth and Market
streets, is we'll under way and the outer
scaffolding will soon be removed. The
Industrial Trust Co. building, at Tenth
and Shipley streets, is in frame.
At S43 Market street, the Snyders,
Inc, hat store, operating string OF stores
throughout the country, has started aitera-
tons TO the interior and front.
The new freproof Wilmington Theatre
building, Market street above Eighth, Is
also expected to be in readiness prior To
the expiration of the contract. The work
of finishing up the outside is now In prog
rcss. The Breuer Building. at 7224 Mar
ket street, will probably be the first to
be completed and the outer scaffolding
will be removed within few days.
The Crosby e. Hill Company, Market
street above Sixth, will also make extern
sive alterations to their building, as here
tofore announced. The work of remodeling
the entire ffpnt was started yesterday.
The work on this building is being handled
by the Heindle-Samsworth Contracting
Go. Ii does not interfere with business.
The remodeling of the Topkis store, at
420 Market street, has also been started
and night force, as we'll as q day force,
is pushing the project as rapidly as pos
slble.
Other important Improvements TO be
started in the near future will be at the
Livingston Building at the southeast cor
ner Of Fifth and Market streets, to be oc-
cupied by the Hub Clothing Co. The l..
r. Steel Co 3 cent TO 81 store, at GOA an
COG Market street, is being remodeled.
The new garage for the REQ Motor
Company at-French and Second streets
is now occupied by that concern and is
one of the most spacious in the city. The
roof trlIsses are the same ones that spanDed
the walls of the Wilmington Automobile
Company's old building at 22l West
Tenth street.

FALLING Off IN
BUILDING PROJECTS
Though q Great Deal Of Work is
in Progress on Old
Projects.

That local activity in building opera
tions has been pending downward toward
n minimum has been reflected in the sum-
marics of permits issued for recent
months which have appeared in these
columns. While the falling off for Au-
gust is $S59,0l5, as compared with last
year, the total for this year to date shows
only S95,25 less than the same period
of 1919
While it is not to be expected that the
remaining months of 1920 will have any
such boost as was given by the two or
three large items entered in November
last, it seems probable that the years
record will show favorable in comparison,
making due allowance for the unusually
large jobs.

ance at this eastern show which, IN
the middle Of the winter and at a
time when most manufacturers are
oversold, was able TO attract such an

Hansen said that every afternoon

Down east" said Mr.. Hansen,
"the public has learned from expe-
rience that it is necessary to order
cars in the winter time if prompt
delivery in the spring is desired. The
Cadillac had q beautiful exhibition,
showing some very. beautiful I'M.
provements and rehnements, and
hundreds of orders for early spring
delivery. The shortage of cars for
this coming year is an assured fact.
While many manufacturers can get
most of their cars completed, there
is always one small item or another
which cannot be obtained in the
quantity necessary, due to the more
or less unsettled manufacturing sit
uation."
Mr.. Hansen is having the fnisHng
touches put to the local Cadillac
building at Farnam and Twenty
sixth streets and hopes TO have it
completed by the time of the Oma-
ha automobile show, which he be-
lieves will be the greatest event o.

dignifed and beautiful in appoint
ment, arranged under Mr.. Hansen's

More distributors than ever are

Manager Powell won't say 4 word
