NIT valuation Of the same commu-
mites in July, 1884, 1t Is shown in
the monthly survey taken by the
department. of sales and traffic de-
velopment Of the New Haven rail-
road, and made public today by
A. A.. Drummond, sales traffic
manager.
The valuation of the building
permits issued by the "a cities and
towns In which the survey Is taken
was $1,S48,633 for the month Of
July as compared with $1.691,673
for the month Of June, a gain OF
$l56,s6O. The increase was largely
accounted for by the volume OF
permits issued in New Haven
which was more than double that
of June. The gain, however. was
well spread, Is of the "a commu-
mites enjoying greater building ac-
tivityl than in the previous month.
These were Bridgeport. Bristol.
Derby. Hamden, Hartford, Middle
town. Naugatuck, New Britain.
New Haven, New London. Norwich.
South Norwalk, Stratford. Water
bury, West Haven and Willimantic.
New Haven headed the July list
with permits valued at $25s.172,

only one of the three June leaders
to remain in that class in Judy.

Friendships Are Key

Bear in mind that lobbyists

and members Of congress. Such
friendships are the big-time lobby

Job getting is side line of every
lobbyist in town-including those
of the open Hobbies, such as the
farmer, labor, veteran and peace
groups. Many officials, big and
small, owe their jobs to lob
byists and treat them accordingly.
Members of congress are often
indebted for their election to spe-
cial interests seeking favors here
and 1t is difficult to regard such
members as much more than lob
byists themselves. (For instance.

That web to some degree en-

down to the $1,400-a-year stenog-
raphers upon whom some small

For government means politics
and politics means favoritism, and
favoritism means lobbying by
those who want the favors. Those
who pay the most for lobbying
are likely to receive the most
valuable favors.
Some of the favoritism is rot
