sued Here in January

Decline in local building reached
new record last month as only ~
permits for work estimated at a to-
al cost of $S,910 were issued at the
office of the building Inspector. Six
Of the permits were for non-resi-
Dental buildings and six for addi-
tons OF alterations to residential
dwellings.
Priority considerations account
largely for the fact that no permits
for erection of new homes were re-
qu'!sted. With alterations limited to
a cost of 5000, except for specified
major undertakings, fewer applica-
tions were made than ever before.
Permits in the 'lon-residential
classification were issued for build
ing of a laundry, two storage sheds,
a fence, poultry house., and tenn
norary office parking station. at a
total cost of $4,000. Permits for al
terations involved total estimates Of
$2,7l0.

the tasks assumed by the staff In
home visits, the report states. The
irregular working hours, stress and
strain created by increased war eff
forts, and availability Of more money

the work in store for the v. N. A.

an awesome picture"
Birthrate Increases
With the birthrate increasing 90
per cent last year maternity service
by the v. N. A. was extended to a
larger number Of cases, the report
states, Mothers clubs functioned
throughout the year under the su-
pervision Of the nurses and attend
ance is said to have tripled. Mothers
were given demonstrations OF care,
bathing, feeding and dressing Of
babies and direct nursing care was
given to many mothers.
Visits TO well-child conferences
totalcd 3,215 in 1912, 300 less than
in tho previous year. The decrease
was credited to the rise in economic
status Of families and to entrance
Of mothers into the labor field with
consequent lack of time and in
ability to seek guidance at the con-
ference.
Spreading of hospital care insur-
ance and other factors which have
resulted In greater use of hospitals
have reduced service to the sick to
a large extent, Miss Peake states.
A total of 9,741 visits were made to
2,077 i'll patients, 1t is revealed.
The director states, 1--WE hope that
no one in the city who needs care
when he is i'll Is neglected for our
service will always be available to
those who need the comfort of good
