THE NEWARK PURE OILS
TAKE CLOSE II. IL. GAME

The swift Newark Pure Oil bas-
keteers messed out with five point
lead when they played Wagon Co,
here Wednesday night. Taking the
game from every angle it is regard
ed as one of the best played here
this season. When the two teams
took their places on the floor the
local fans were fearful that our
home boys would get a frightful
6rubbing. but they are not put up
that way, as was plainly demon
strated In the first jump off Berry
for the Pure Oils, looped a nice one,
hut just a very little later Bingham
started the scoring for Wagon Co.
From that time throughout the first
half the score was practically even,
and not once was there a difference
Of more than two points between
the two teams. The first half fin
ished II all.
In the second half Pat White
started the scoring when he tumbled
in a nice long shot from the side.
From that time on until within
eight minutes of the end, the score
continued nip and tuck with "Tuck"
leading in the scoring for the
Wagoneers. We question if ever
there was a game on the local floor
when the score was tied so often as
in this game. In the last part of
the fray, the locals were badly
Winded, anG r not calling time out
to rest, no doubt lost them the
game. Berry for Newark with IS
points was high scorer, and Simeral
with 10 points headed Wagon Co.

BUILDING SHOWS
CONTINUED BOOM
Despite Showdown. 8 Per
Cent Gain is Reported for
First Half of Year.

Prospective building operations
throughout the entire country con-
.inue to increase in volume as the
scason advances. Notwithstanding an
unmistakable slowing down in many
sections. During the first six months
Of this year 32S cities and towns re-
ported plans filed and building per-
mits issued amounting to Sl.966,-
oS2,2So, gain of per cent over the
corresponding period of 1928. accord
ing to the S. W. Straus survey.
Official records in the same cities
and towns revealed June buildings
plans and permits amounting to $685.
6sc,S15, gain of 10 per cent over
June last year.
Analysis of the reports indicates
tendency toward less active con-
dltiouS in d large number of places
and that the saturation point in
building seems to have been reached
in many sections. Nevertheless the
onward sweep of the building move
nent in the large cities has more
han overbalanced the recessions al
.uded to.
The % cities which led in plans
filed and permits issued during
the half year ended June so showed
d gain of IL per cent over 1928. In
June these same cities gained 19 per
cent over the same month last year
and Is per cent over June, 1922.
These % cities reported prospective
building operations amounting to 6,
per cent. of the total amount reported
ny SIS cities and towns for the first
six months of the year.
