The cost of building operations in April, 1917, was $195,773, an increase- of 180 per cent, above the figures for that period last year, which were $69,905.

And In spite of this Irrefutable testimony of the mathmaticlans, building1 Operations in Wllkes-Barre are not three times as brisk, as they were at this time last year. Far from it It generally understood that artisans haje been leaving the city for some time because ef larkc answer to the enigma rests in the fact not shown by the statisticians, that more than half of the $195,773 of this year represents three unusual more than $100,000. These are the M. Chase residence on South River street, which cost a building for Andrew Ambroslno on Northampton street costing $20,000, and a building valued at for Wilkes-Barre school district on North Washington street. Without these three Jobs the Increase for April over last year would be moderate.

The number of buildings was the same, 107, for April this year and last The month's valuation gain in Scranton was 33 per with nineteen more buildings in April this year than last. New York City dropped 40 per cent Philadelphia fell off 19 per cent Building operations in Chicago shrunk 16 per cent in value. Erie gained 144 per cent. Altoona fell 82 per cent Harrlsburg's operations were cut nearly In half, dropping 49 per cent by in of Stegmaiers Gold Medal IX carries with it the dis-Jjtinction of Quality and Good Taste.
