March Total Is Double February's Although Low
 Compared to 1882

Building permits issued by cities and towns in Connecticut during the month of March showed d slight improvement in total valua- tion over the February total, even considering the shortness of the latter month with its two holidays, it is shown in the monthly build ing survey taken by the Freight Traffic department of the New Ha- ven Railroad among twenty-four communities along it's lines.
 The March building permit to- tai for those twenty-four cities and towns reached a figure of $586,276, more than double the February otal. A gain of this pro- portion is assumed ti indicate an improvement beyond that which might be expected because of the difference in the length of the two months.
