DROUGHT IS
IMPORTANT
ISSUE NOW
Repu b licans Solve 1t in
Theory Roosevelt
Must Give Solution
BIZ PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July Silt is
apparent to both Republicans and
Democrats that regardless of the
duration of the high temperatures
in the corn belt the drought issue
will stay at high temperature for
some time in the political belt.
The drought presents a concrete
problem for spokesman of the two
parties to solve. Republicans will
be called upon to solve it only in
theory, but Presi d ent Roosevelt
must offer his solution and apply
it in fact.
Moreover, the drought is right
in or neighbor to the territory which
leaders of both parties recognize
as a likely key to which way the
election will go-the midwest and
northwest.
President Roosevelt recently said
his efforts for relief were certain
ly not" made with any political
effect in mind. Almost in the next
breath he recognized the political
significance of the situation by as
serting that it was the drought and
not ACKNOWLEDGEMENT curtail-
ment that shortened the crop pros
pect.

Ideal Couple Tells

When the in-laws live some

Take it from Mr.. and Mrs.

BUILDINGB00M
IS PREDICTED
F0RC0UNTY

SILVER SPRING, Md, June 4.
The greatest building boom Mont
gomery county has ever expert
enced was predicted for 1885 to-
day by county building inspectors
e. J. Gray and Gerald Warthen.
They declared that so far this
year in the suburban area alone,
construction costs total more
than two and one-half millions of
dollars, which is nearly half as
much as was recorded for the
entire county last year. That was
the largest year on record, they
added.
In the western suburban area
alone, construction costs for the
first five months Of 1896 totaled
$1,276,553.46. This represented ap-
proximately 200 building projects,
Mr.. Gray said. The total figure
for that same area for 1885 was
slightly more than two million
dollars, he added.
In the eastern suburban area,
In and around Silver Spring, Md,
approximately 200 additional per
mitS for buildings have been
issued by Mr.. Warthen, represent
ing q construction cost of nearly
one and one-half millions of dol
lars. The total figure for this
area last year was approximately
three million dollars, he said.
While figures complete to date
were not available, Mr.. Warthen
said that up to May / he had
issued 100 permits for a total con-
Struction cost of $738,692. Per-
mitS for May will bring this well
in the vicinity of a million and a
half dollars, he said.
4 In comparing this year with last
to date, there has been about $780,.
600 more in the eastern district,
according to Mr.. Warthen. The
majority of the permits issued
have been for private dwellings,
although some few small apart
ment houses and flats are now
under construction. -
In addition to the private con-
struction, approximately $3.50, 900
is being expended by the county
school authorities in erecting new
schools in various sections of the
county, and making alterations
and adding additions to many now
standing. There are no building
permits issued for these public
construction projects, the building
inspectors said, and so this figure
is not included in the total.
From the figures made public by
the inspectors, construction costs
in the suburban district had
passed the three million dollar
mark at the end of five months,
which leaves only about $4,000, 900
to go for the next seven months
even to equal 1855 total for the
entire county, they said.

HURRICANE FORCE
VERY SLIGHT HERE
Moderate Wind Thursday
Evening Is Henderson's
Part of Storm

Henderson and this section suffered
no i'll effects from the tropical hur-
ricane that raked the North Caro-
lima coast from Thursday afternoon
until the forenoon today Widespread
warning had been given and the COM
munity was prepared for a much
more serious blow than actually came
and citizens went to bed Thursday
night fearful lest the fury of the
storm might be damaging.
During the afternoon and the first
part of the night there was a high
wind, but not of sufficient force to
cause any discomfort or to do any
damage to person or property.
There was no rain at all with the
wind, although the skies were over
cast much of the time
Apparently all possibility of the
storm striking in this vicinity with
any seriousness at all had passed ear
ly this afternoon.
