CHICAGO BUILDING
CONTRACTS MOUNT
OVER 300 PER CENT
Chamber of Commerce Re
ports Gains in Practi-
cally All Trades

Chicago continues to increase its bus
mess gains over 1885. No better in
dication of this could be asked than the
statistics supplied by the Chicago As
ISOLATION of Commerce for August which
show that where building contracts in
that month a year ago totaled only 3d.
O82. 500, the figure for this August
jumped more than 300 per cent to $12.-
231, 700.
In like fashion there were sizeable
gains in practically all of the other i'm
portant branches of trade and industry.
The department store index for Chica-
COS leading shops rose from 63.2 TO 74.5
in twelve months. The employee index
for Chicago industries in the same per-
iod jumped from 65.3 to $50, while the
payroll index rose from 46.7 to $50.
Chicago public utilities are another
significant gauge of the city's economic
improvement. In August there were
44,394 more telephones in use than in
the same months in 1885. Likewise
the city surface lines carried almost four
million more paying passengers. Power
consumption by industries and house
holders was Is per cent. up.

London everyone was urged to
smoke. Small children were COM
PEELED to take tobacco. At Elton
classes were instructed to pause
and light up at frequent intervals.

Europe is not established, nor is 1t
certain who smoked the first pipe

Community Chest for
1897 to be Increased

The Community Chest budget for
1887 is S546. 6s3 IS, an increase of
sos. 67S. or more than 10 per cent
over the amount raised last year.
". Dale Clark, president of the
Chest. announced this figure Sat
urday after individual members of
the budget committee surveyed
each Community Chest agency in
relation 10 its request.
Agencies requested $3.50. 99s %
handle their total needs. Clark said,
Tut the committee slashed almost
$40. 900 from that figure to reduce
the burden on Community Chest
donors. He said each agency was
investigated by a member of the
budget committee. and its work,
programs and needs were carefully
weighed before the committee fix
ed the amount it should receive.
Members of the committee. head
ed by Melvin Bekins, are Joel
Wright, Francis p Matthew. J.

Explaining the increased budget
fer 1887. Bekins stated:
"WeIfaro groups, children's
homes and health organizations
arc faced with the prospect of
caring for IA greatly increased
number of clients. Practically all
agencies arc working shorthand
ed, and every one of them is cor
fronted with the problem of in
creases in maintenance, operation,
food and general living costs"
Twenty-eight agencies are in
cluded in the 1887 budget, and
their needs vary from $500 to $780,
900 for the year. In every instance
the Community Chest will attempt
to provide only for the Omaha
cases. leaving outstate and other
clients to be cared for through
service fees. other subscriptions
and interest on endowments, Bekin
said:
1.-THE budget of the Community
Chest campaign for 1887 should
be a challenge to every individual
in the city of Omaha"
Francis Matthews, campaign
chairman, said:
