For Lost Month

Private building in Washington
during February showed a half
million n-dollar gain over the cor

a total valuation of S1,862375, it
was reported today by Building In

completion of his monthly sum-

All types of building showed gains

dwellings. Last month permits were
issued for 140 of the structures,
having valuation of 5000 100. In
the corresponding month of last
year, only 80 were approved. These

Residential Bui|dinu
In Capital Area Scars

The 1899 building activities of
the Washington metropolitan area
started with residential work in the
brightest spot. January business
resulted in work and materials con-
tracts worth s4,OOO.0OO more than
in the corresponding month of 1898.
H. A. Johns. the Washington
manager of Dodge Reports, a divl-
sion of F. w. Dodge Corp. COM
pleted an analysis today of the con-
tracts awarded here in January
Residential work moved out in
front last month" Mr.. Johns said.
The local advance was greater
than the average recorded through
out the 81 States east of the Rocky
Mountains. The contracts for non-
residential building also passed the
level Of January, 1888"
Residential building contracts
awarded in and around Washington
during January reached $542l 900.
This included long gain over ST.
$4,000, the valuation of contracts
awarded in the corresponding month
of last year. The average January
gain for residential work in the
81 States east of the Rockies was
81 per cent.
Local contracts for non-residential
building went to $1,896 900. last
month. The year 1888 opened with
awards valued at $727 900. In this
classification the gain over the same
month of 1888 was 161 per cent. The
average gain in the 81 States-area
was 48 per cent.
Mr.. Johns concludes the summary
of building in the Washington
metropolitan area with grouping
of all types of building and heavy
engineering contracts. The January
total, $7,377 900, was far ahead of
the corresponding $2,625 900 in jan
uary, 1888 The gain of l8l per
cent compares favorably with the
80 per cent average gain established
in the 81 Eastern States.

Ample protection for home gardens

eecticides. Large trees and shrubs are
prayed with mixture consisting of
tx pounds of calcium or lead arsenate,
our pounds of wheat -four, one-half

ty for repeated treatments is deter

for the pests. Birds experlmentally col

thrived and materially aided in the
campaign of control.
These are the measures taken once
the beetles have stormed and taken
any given area. 1t is the job of the
quarantine man to see that they are
as nearly confined to one district as
possible. His work has not been too
successful. The beetles, despite all
efforts and precautions. will normally
spread out from any focal point in
ever widening waves. Each year these
waves carry about ten miles. Most
authorities now agree that no sup
pressive measures can check this nor
NAL expansion. But vigilance can keep
the pests from being carried to various
communities in vegetable and fruit
cargoes to set up new focal spots.
