Building permit issued by Con- Eecticut cities and towns during the month O. october took a severe drop in total valuation from those granted during the month of Sep tembcr although the latter's total was exceptionally high due to a large permit issued to Yale by New Haven, 1t is shown in the monthly building survey taken by the freight traf1ic department of the New Haven Railroad in twenty four communities along its lines.
 Disregarding the large Yale per- init in September, the valuation of the permits granted in these twen- ty-four cities and towns would still show a slightly downward trend in October. Compared with August, a more normal month. the trend was also downward. Moreover, this de- cline would be still more marked in october except for $235, 900 permit issued in West Hartford for the erection of new school build ing.
 October permits were valued a trife under million dollars.
 Despite the general slump in building during that month. twelve 0I lue tNGltty-LOul enjoyed gains over their permit to- tals of September. These were Dan- bury, East Hartford, Meriden, Naugatuck, New Britain. Norwalk, Norwich, Stratford. Torrington, Waterbury. West Hartford and West Haven.
 West Hartford headed the list for october with permit valued at $365,591, while Bridgeport and Hartford were in second and third places. respectively.
 As compared with the total value of the permits issued by the same communities in October, 1882, the October permits this year under went a slight decline. Only seven of the twenty-four cities and towns reported upon in the survey showed increases over their permits of the corresponding month of 1882. These were Bristol, East Hartford. Greenwich, Hartford. Naugatuck, Norwalk and West Hartford.
