H BIG CITIES AID BUILDING ·TOTAL Slowinc Down in Smaller Centers, Report In spite of the slowing down of building activities in many cities in the United States, the amount of building continues to advance in several large cities to such an extent tllat it brings the coutry's total up to a higher figure than last year, both for the first six months of 1924 and for the month of June. These figures are announced by S. W. Straus & company, who make monthly and yearly building servers for real estate men and the building industry generally. Evanston was one ot the .:ities which reported a decrease in the first six months' building activities of 1924 as compared with 1923. This falling off amounted to $1,398,653, and in June the total building activities in Evanston were only about half those of last year. Last month the city issued permits to the value of $682,645: ·,n June, 1923, the total was $1,210,585. The only months in 1924 to show an increase here over the corresponding periods of 1923 were February and May. The remaining four showed decreases.

The experience of Evanston was typical of a majority of smaller cities throughout the country, and it was only the activity of the larger centers that carried the 1924 half-year total on past the 1923 mark.
