The showing iii comparison *With December is also ýsurprising, for ai- most- invariably there is a 'heavi falling, off in, january. This ycear .January almost equals the *December figure, which was $2,111,906. It should be explained; however, that there is an actual- failing off greater than the reported figures indicate, for1 the jan.uary total includes $300,000 ioe- work largely donc last year in the construction of a field bouse for the Proviso Township Hfgh school.
