Johns breathing had grown lighter. If he

her heart stopped humping. until her throat
became less parched and tight Now if John

BUILDING BOOM

EXPENSES
New Construction Forces Firm
To Expend S185,000 More
Than Estimates, Claim

In the last six months increase
in the building operations in
Washington has forced the Wash
ington and Georgetown Gas
Light companies to increase eSti-
mates of costs of additions to
plant and equipment during 1885
by $185, 900, it was revealed today
by Everett j. Boothby, vice presi-
dent of the companies.
The increase in building &C.
tivities in the District has placed
a two-fold burden on the COM
panies, Mr.. Boothby stated at a
session of the gas rate hearings
being conducted by the Public
Utilities Commission.
In addition to the increase in
cost of construction materials, the
development of new apartment
houses, and residential areas has
brought an additional expense to
the companies because of the need
for laying more gas mains and
making connections to new struc-
lures.
Officials of the two compnieas
last year estimated that $489 900
would be necessary for construc-
ton work in 1885, but at the hear.
ing Mr.. Boothby declared that
$644,0O will be expended for this
purpose.
The wide variance in estimates
for this year contrasts the eSti-
mate made in 1888 for expendi-
lures during 1884. It was esti-
mated 1885 would be used for
additional construction work in
1884, and the actual money ex-
pended was $4,000 less than this
sum
