Building Permits In
State Show Decline
Waterbury Reports Over 1000 Increase for August,
1899, Over Corresponding Period in 1898

Building permits issued by cities
and towns In Connecticut nit q de-
finite downward trend during the
month Of August although they
were higher In total valuation than
those granted in the corresponding
month Of last year, 1t Is shown in
the monthly building survey taken
by the Department Of Sales and
Traflc Development Of the New Ha-
ven. Railroad and made public today
by w. J. LAndon, sales and service
agent.
The railroads survey, taken
among 26 communities along its
lines, showed that permits issued by
those municipalities had q total
value In August of $2,782, 286 as
compared with figure Of $4,681, 7S5
for the same group Of cities and
towns In July. The August total,
however, was greater by $295, 492
than that Of August, 1888.
The general picture Of the decline
from July is somewhat lightened by
the fact that included in the figures
for that month was a single per-
init totaling $1,666,000 granted in
New Haven to Yale University for
the construction of Silliman Col
lege.
Even without any such sizeable
grant, New Haven still headed the
list for August with permits valued
at $336,162. West Hartford and Nor
walk were In second and third posi-
tions respectively.
Just half Of the 26 communities en-
joyed building gains in August as
compared with July despite the
marked reduction in the general
total. These were Bridgeport, Derby
Meriden, Middletown, Naugatuck

Lucy Thurman Girls
Say Goodbye oMrs.
Smith At Breakfast

A farewell breakfast was given
by the resident girls of Lucy
Thurman Y.W.C.A last Sunday, in
the dining room OF the YWCA in
honor OF Mrs. Christine s. Smith.
retiring resident secretary.
AS one OF the girls stated. 1T
seemed that all the rooms OF the
building had emptied into the din
ing room just as a few Sundays
ago they had emptied into the cha
pei where a special service OF well
come for Mrs. Smith was conduct
ed after her return fro mabroad.
The atmosphere was one Of glad
ness then. In the peace OF the sun
light, purpled by the windows OF
the chapel. Mrs. Smith told how,
out In mid ocean. she had thought
OF that chapel. and said little
prayer that some kind OF service
might be conducted there each Sun
day morning by the girls. and how
happy she was TO return and find her
prayer had been answered. II was
this interest In their welfare ex-
tending beyond the realm OF the
merely physical that made the girls
know they had friend in Mrs.
Smith"
Mrs. Smith said,
"You know girls, that love You
all even though am resigning. |
have loved every brick. every wall
and every room in this building"
One OF the girls put this thought
into poem which was read when
the token Of appreciation was being
presented TO Mrs. Simth:
Because we know what Lucy Thur
man Branch has meant to you,
Because these very doors will miss
your figure passing through.
Because you loved each brick. each
wall, each room the building
knew,
II Is with sadness that we see you
20.
Because for our own welfare you
were always much concerned,
Because the lamp light of your
love for us has always burned.
We OFFER you this token of esteem
which you have earned:
Our love. Gods blessing and
we'll miss you so,
