Taken among 26 municipalities along the New Haven's lines, the survey reveals a total valuation of permits for october of $3,335,470 as compared with $3,567,110 for Sep tember. The october figure was also somewhat below the permit total of $3 ,636 ,583 recorded by the same corn- munities in the corresponding month of 1888.
 12 Show Gains
 An even dozen of the 26 cities and towns reported building permit gains in October as compared with September. These were Bridgeport, Danbury, Derby, Manchester, Mid- dletown, Naugatuck, Norwich, South Norwalk, Waterbury, West Hartford, West Haven and Willimantic. The October list was headed by Bridgepor;: with permits valued at $554,45O, while West Hartford and Norwalk were second and third, re- spectively. Of these only West Hart ford was among the three leaders in building activity during September. Better 1S3v E1gure
 Twenty of the l6 communities en- joyed building permit increases in October over their figures of Co., tober, 1888. This anomaly which finds 20 to 26 communities gaining while the total for the entire group shows a decrease develops from the fact that in October, 1889, a single permit amounting to $750,000 was is- sued in New Haven con construction of the new United Illuminating com- pany building. The cities and towns repoi ting permit increases over the corresponding month of last year were Bridgeport. Bristol, Danbury, Derby, East Hartford, Fairfield, Greenwich, Hamden, Manchester Meriden, New Britain, New London, South Norwalk, Stratford, Torring- ton, Waterbury, West Hartford West Haven, Wethersfield and Will limantic.
 Comparative building permit data for october, 1e39, and for October 1888, were furnished in the New Ha- vens survey as follows:
