BUILDING RECORD BROKEN

VNliE revival of building activity In Phila
L dolphin has for some months been cvi
\ dent to even the most casual observer.
Evidences of new construction are wide
spread. not only in the business section,
where steam shovcls and ingenious excavat-
Ing machines are performing their ever
remarkable feats. but in residential dis
tricts and suburbs which are undergoing
speedy transformation.
Specific testimony of these changes is
furnished by the Bureau of Building In
spection. which reports a record six months
In its history. For the first half Of 1920
permits were issued for new constructions
and alterations involving an expenditure of
more than So 600, 600. This exceeds the
January o-July total of last year by
$13 900 900. and the sums for the entire
years respectively of 1920, 1919 and 1918.
Since the beginning Of the current year the
amount of new building has increased with
impressive regularity, reaching a climax in
June. a month unsurpassed in the annals
of the city bureau.
Ii Is time for earnest statisticans to
elucidate n situation which is undoubtedly in
part a reaction from the enormous slump in
building caused by the war. Until recently
1t was believed that the construction in
creases no more than compensated for the
lean years. But If the present high rate of
development is sustained or exceeded it may
soon be permissible to speak of substantial
net progress.

BOB MAXWELL

WE IN this office, knowing Bob Maxwell
as we did, were yet surprised to learn
how universally he was liked and how
many people of all sorts, little and big,
obscure and exalted felt n pang of genuine
grief at the news of his unexpected death
yesterday. He had been more than a noted
personality in the world of sports that ac-
cepted him as youthful and smiling sage
He was an Influence for clean dealing, n
force opposed always to bad play of any
sort
An artist and an authority in his field
and the most generous of men we knew
him to be. But when he died there came
to the surface in hundred places evidences
of secret kindnesses done by him for in
Vulnerable people and of gentcness that,
seen in retrospect, contrasts all the more
finely with his magnificent strength.
There was only one Bob. He wrote from
a mind that seemed flooded with sunlight
and clean airs. There is not man among
those who were his associates who does not
feel sense Of profound and personal loss.
