s Be an Effective Worker REPORT FOR HALF OF 19%8 Survey by Straus & Co. Shows ‘The beginning of the last half of the year found building activities throughâ€" out the country about on a par with those of a year ago. Reports made to §. W. Straus & Co. from the 654 prinâ€" cipal cities and towns of the country located in the fortyâ€"cight states showed building permits and plans filed for the half year of $2,065,202,â€" 908 compared with $2,103,324,264, a loss of alightly less than 2 per cent. In the first half of 1926 substantially the same list of cities reported $2,â€" 245,030,070, and in 1925, $2,343,308,â€" @89. It will thus be seen that the first half of 1928 was a little below the fourâ€"year record for the period. Wide Scope of Survey It is to be remembered that these figures cover approximately 80 per. cent of building operations within the limits of all incorporated cities and towns in the fortyâ€"eight states. They do not include cost of road building, construction of subways,, bridge or other major engineering projects. They pertain to buildings only and are to be taken as an index of activiâ€" ties which will be under way within the next few months rather than recâ€" ords of money that already has been spent. The same 541 cities reported $368,â€" 987,324 in June compared with $362,â€" 581,217, a gain so slight as to be without economic significance. In June 1926 the same cities reported building permits and plans filed of $411,051,351 and in June 1925 the total was $384,â€" 321,193. Favorable Reports ‘ ‘The twentyâ€"five cities leading the list in building prospects submitted much more favorable reports than did the other places. For the first half of the year, these places issued building compared with $1,229,630,024 last year, a gain of 5 per cent. The figâ€" permits llmolAn!t'ing to 78}_.?8_5_.7"“._47! ures for June were 1928, $228,021,â€" 213; June 1927, $209,238,744; gain 9 per cent. New York City continued to run far ahead of any other city in the country. The volume of plans filed in the nation‘s metropolis for the first half of the year was $561,395,247 compared with $493,315,695, last {nr. a »uin af 14 nor mant a gain of 14 per cent The titanic activities in New York, in fact, were in large measure reâ€" sponsible for the excellent showing made by the twentyâ€"five city group for the half year. Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Newark, San Francisco, Mi}waukee, Portland, Ore.. Buffalo and Indianapolis showed substantial losses while sizable gains were reâ€" corded in Boston, Cleveland, Pittsâ€" burg, Seattle, Yonkers, St. Louis, Baitimore, Houston, Cincinnati, Atâ€" lanta â€" and _ Albany. _ Philadelphia, Washington, Oskland and Birmingâ€" hem revealed conditions not greatly at variance with those last year.
