PERMITS SHOW i. s.
BUILDING TO co ON

Indications that extensive building
activities will be kept up throughout
the country are shown in the reports
of building permits issued in July in
239 leading cities and towns of the
country. These official reports. made
yesterday to s. w. Straus & Co, re-
veal a gain in the reporting cities
Of IA per cent over the correspond
ing month last year and a loss of "A
per cent from June this year. The
loss from June. however. is in keep
ing with the usual trend of building
permits between these two months.
Total permits issued in the gag cities
in July were s233.SI6.6O2, which COM
pares with s204,291.504 in July last
year and with s244.ss7,907 in June
this year
of 23.4 per cent over July last year
and a loss of 3.4 per cent since June.
In the central states the gain was lis
per cent as compared with last July,
while the change as between June
and July was negligible, the central
group reporting slightly in excess of
S76.000.000 worth of permits in each
month. Permits issued in the Pacific
coast states were 40.6 per cent ahead
Of July year ago and 1913 per cent
states there was a loss of per cent
from July last year and a loss of /
per cent from June.
Among the important cities of the
country reported in the survey, New
York led with 51,623.s32. a gain over
July a year ago Of S17.60l,5o1 and a
loss from June of $5,759,17l
Chicago permits in July were s16.-

gible gain over July last year and an

Philadelphia issued s11,346.155 per-
mits in July. a gain of little less

effective. patterns possible through a
varied grouping of the material used
or through the use of contrasting
colors of paint. This proper use of
cOloring determines. also. whether the
lattice gives depth to the yard or
has the effect of actually making 1t
seem less deep. a lattice against the
garage at the rear of a lot should
not rise to the roof height OF the
garage; a much better effect is gained,
as to appearance and artificial dis
tance. by designing 1t to come about
two-thirds of the height of the ga
rage. By arranging the yard in ris-
ing levels. each with a detail of lat
tiCe arrangement. an illusion of dis
tance is created far out Of proportion
to the actual depth of lot In this
case also the lattice ornamentation
must not come too high, although the
last lattice wall. at the rear of the lot,
can be as high as requirements
justify.
One outgrowth of the use of the lat
tice has been the Improvement in
fences. There Is no reason why the
fence should not perform decorative
as well as "A useful function, but it
is only when lattices come into use
in the garden that the ordinary style
of fence seems hopelesSly out of place.
Our colonial builders understood this
requirement of fences: they designed
them carefully. to accentuate the gen.
eral design OF the house. and be, in
addition, structurally durable and use
full over A long period of time. There
Is no reason why the same should
not apply to the lattice when used
as a yard dividing fence; 1t improves
the appearance of ones property i'm
mensely.
Other uses OF the lattice offer deco
rative possibilities inherent with its
use against a houses stucCo wall; as
a screening yet decorative adjunct of
the home porch Again it can be
used to advantage in connection with
window boxes and for small flower
boxes placed here and there to add
touches of color to the home yard

Cnquestionably the vogue of the
lattice arose with the use made of it
in the glorious gardens of the Villa
Trianon at Versailles. Its first pur-
pose was to give a small replica of
a vino and flower embowercd villa.

The plans for a concrete base and
asphaltic surfaced road between
Berdine's corner and Midtown were
also approved and bids on the WORK
authorized.
An appropriation of $4,000 was
made for the reconstruction OF

DISAPPROVE OBJECTIONS
TO FOSDICE'S PREACHINGS

PHILADELPHIA. May 11.-Twen-
ty-three ministers and eight elders
of the Presbytery of Philadelphia, in
a letter 70 the Presbyterian general
assembly. have disapproYed the ac-
ton of the Philadelphia Presbytery
In Directing to the preaching of the
Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick of New
York, it became known today. The
general assembly meets in Indiana
polls next week.
THE method prescribed by Jesus
Christ was not adopted" the let
ter states. las an attack was I'M
tiated upon a fellow minister and
upon another P%resbytery without
any communication with him or with
that P~resbytery, or any intimation
that such action vas to be taken.
Doctor Fosdick expressed. in a
personal letter read before the Pres
bytery of Philadelphia. while action
on the overture was pending, his
belief in the Deity and Saviourhood
of Jesus Christ. 1t is u conviction
hat his statements are adequate to
define his loyalty TO the evangeli-
cal faith, hence We could not vote
to restrain him from preaching in a
Presbyterian pulpit.
I'VE believe that to seek to con-
troll opinion by force does more
harm than good, in that such a
method invariably r~epudiates the
holy spirit and thus creates the worst
form of heresy.
ut is conviction that the Pres
bytery of New York, with its long
roll of faithful and able Presbyters
is sufficiently wise and careful to be
trusted with the care of its own pull
pits. Moreover. we realize that I'M
til the church in Philadelphia is
much more effective in meeting its
primary responsibilities than it is
at present, it is not becoming In our
Presbytery to call attention to the
defects of a neighboring Presbytery."
