©Lake County building kept pace with the steady advance of the larger part of the country. The first six months of this year showed an increase of 48 per cent over last year. The valustion of privately owned work in this area exceeded '-l;‘o publicly owned by about $800,â€" 000. This comparison of local and wideâ€" spread building was issued yesterâ€" day by T. O. Morgan, the Chicago manaiger of Dodge Reports, the daily construction news service. Contracts for all construction in Lake County for the first half of this year amounted to $3,253,000. This included the 48 per cent pickâ€" up over $2,194,000, the total at the same point of last year. Privately Owned Contracts Fort Loses Soldier to NMavy; Ordered to Merchant Marines at Once Grandinetti, whose home is at 8016â€"15th Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., explained to his selective service board that as a member of the naval reserve he was not subject to inâ€" duction into the army. The board decided otherwise, however, and he entered the army on April 18. After receiving his recruit trainâ€" ing at Fort Eustis, Va., Private Grandinetti was transferred to Fort Sheridan on July 23, Last week naval authorities requested his disâ€" charge from the army, which promptly complied. Upon reporting to the merchant marine reserve, Grandinetti expects to be assigned to duty on ships taken over from Lake County: Building 48% Ahead of Last Year Privately owned contracts for building in this area amounted to $2,016,000 for the six months and accounted for an 8 per cent rise over $1,859,000, the total for the same period in 1940. This is less than the 40 per cent rise noted for the 37â€"states‘ area. June contracts awarded inâ€"Lake.Countyâ€"wereâ€"valâ€" ued at $369,000, a decrease from $474,000, the June, 1940, record. Private co for work an compared wi in May, 1940 for the navy mop after being listed as a member of both services, Disâ€" charged from the 103rd Coast Artillery (Antiâ€"Aircraft) battalion at Fort Sheridan, he was ordered to report immediately to the merâ€" an-uh.minfluYfl His service as seaman in the naval reserve dates from March, 1988. this week exc Not Subject to Induction Grandinetti, whose home 8016â€"15th Avenue, Brooklyn, explained to his selective : board that as a member of the Publicly owned building contracts at the halfâ€"year mark were valued at $1,237,000, a 269 per cent inâ€" crease over $335,000, the sixâ€" months‘ total in 1940. The larger part of the country accounted for Publicly owned Lake building contracts awarded in June amountâ€" ed to $626,000. This is a rise from $39,000, the June, 1940, total. H. P. Crescents Humbled; St, Joseph Wins 7 to 5 ‘The May total in this classificaâ€" tion reached $296,000, an upturn from $32,000, the amount for the same month in 1940. A belated ninthâ€"inning rally failed to last long enough for the Highâ€" land Park Crescents to add another win to their long list of tritmphs, so they were sent down to defeat by the strong St. Joseph nine from North Chicago inâ€"an exciting clash last Sunday.

However, as ustal, Davis had quite an edge in strikeâ€"outs. Only four Crescents fanned trying to soive the slants of Wagner while twelve of the St. Joe swingers kayoed. Fourâ€"Base Drive i Davis came through with another of his fourâ€"base drives, This one sailed clear over the left field bleachers. The blow was not very drimaging though as no one was on base at the time it was hit. Davis also tapped out a single and Allen Gerken got two to top the rather futile Crescent offense. Scoring opportunities knocked in the seventh and cighth frames but the scoringâ€"dish remained uncrossed oh both occasions. In the ninth it v--dm“t.m.‘:mm M:‘Qflh“h: runs, second store counting before Davis was tagged sliding inâ€" to third on a force play to end the game.

T. 0. Morgan, the Chicago manaâ€" ger of Dodge Reports, the daily construction news service, summarâ€" ized the fastâ€"moving building acâ€" tivities throughout this fourstate area, yesterday, and emphasized that it was not too early to expect this year to close with a total valuaâ€" tion of building contracts that will be considerably higher thar in any recent year and in all probability it will reach an unprecedented height. Contracts Mount The contracts awarded for resiâ€" dential and nonâ€"residential building in northern Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and eastern Wisconsin mounted to $276,615,000 in the 107 per cent upsweep over the comparable $133,â€" 067,000 of 1940. The valuation at the same point of 1939 was $116,â€" 553,000. The division between the expenâ€" ditures for residential and nonâ€"resiâ€" dential building in this area during the first half of the year brought nonresidential building in the lead. Nonâ€"residential building had a toâ€" tal of $177,353,000 in contracts awarded for projects in the four ::t:; The gain of 153 per cent was ‘;nuul and uwg the average . of.. 104 cent . for : larger part of fieounflv. 1’2 year, at the halfâ€"way point, nonâ€" residential contracts had a valuaâ€" tion of $69,993,000.
