 Building Permits Show Decided Increases

Increases in the value of build- ing work under construction in Waterbury, jump in electricity consumption, and a slight increase in the number of persons employed in the city's largest factories are high-spots of the November survey of the Waterbury Chamber of Com merce, released for publication to- day. The survey also shows that Christmas Club accounts in local banks numbered 9,528 and that checks for $322,814 were mailed to the club members.
 Building permits numbered 49 in November, the work value totalling $62,100, which is almost double the amount for October. The figures show an even greater increase in comparison with November of 1893.

BUDGET INCLUDES CHEFS SALARY
Report That Vacancy Will Not Be Filled Has
 Been Denied [

Contrary to published reports to the effect that the $4,o00 decrease in the fire department salary item in the 1885 budget indicated de- cision on the part of Mayor Frank Hayes administration to skip ap- pointing chief to fill the vacancy caused some time ago by the death of Chief Henry H. Heitman, it was emphatically declared today that the inference was entirely untrue. Executive Secretary Thomas F. Kelly stated today that vacancies already existing in the department aside from the office of chief made the decrease of $4,000 possible.
 During the past year one lieu tenant and one private died. Ap- parently there is no intention to fill their posts during 1885. How ever, the $4,000 decrease in the sal ary item would not take care of the $6,000 salary prescribed for the chief, Secretary Kelly pointed out. The decrease is destined to take care of the heutenant's and pri- vate's pays.
 There are several members Of the fire department in the race for the office of chief, among them be- ing Deputy Chief Thomas Lynch Captain Martin Canfield, Captain Thomas Cavanaugh. now an acting deputy, Captain Steve Bloomfield and Captain Frank Ryan and Cap tain Joseph Bagley.
 It was not possible today to as certain whether or not the ire board would meet at an early date to take action on filling the posi- ton of chief. Various reports ln- dicate that Deputy Lynch would be advanced to the office of chief ana then retired, with one of the as-
 pirants for the post then being named and subsequent promotions made to fill the high vacancies Tn the department.
