Most Of the barrier islands Of the

years ago. Thus there Is one small
island. where I have often fiShed In

There were three churches. II IL

EdingSviile. some of them large,
fhree-storied structures. handsomely
finished. with carved mantles and fine
woodwork. for the landowners of the
coast were of the best blood of the
South. and some Of them were men
of great wealth as wealth was reck-

upon completing TIE destruction which

CONSTRUCTION DROPS IN JUNE
IN ALL SECTIONS OF COUNTRY
General Decrease of Ii Per Cent Estimated
From Statistics Received From
Many States.

June construction volume was IA
per cent under May, according to f.
w. Dodge Corporation. The decline
was general except in portions of the
central west. Total contracts awarded
during June in the thirty-siX eastern
states Qncluding about seven -eighths
of the total volume in the country
amounted to s371.OS4,00O. In spite of
the decline, this figure indicates a
large volume of work started. Any
month that shows more than $780,
o.0O0 for these thirty-s:x states is
n heavy month. The decline from
June. 1922 was per cent.
Last months total included: s136,

buildings; s44,727.000 or IL per cent
for business buildings, and s26,410.000
or Z per cent, for educational build
ings.
The June figure brought the total
for the first half of the year up to
$2,109. .524 900. The increase over the
corresponding period of last year was
per cent. During the past three
months the lead over last year has
been dwindling. 1t seems probable
tion volume was passed in May. AL
though the second half of the year
is not likely to have quite so large
construction volume az the first
half, activity seems likely to keep on
at very conside rable rate.
Residential buildings continued to
lead all other classes during the past
six months. amounting to $Ss3,-
$4,000 or AZ per cent of the total
construction. This is one of the three
classes which shows an increase over
the first half of 1922. the increase be-
ing 20 per cent. Public works and
utilities increased 3 per cent, and in
dustrial buildings increased 6S per
