SMSO EE SUBURBS FEEL SLUMP IN BUILDING ACTIVITY Moderate Depression Throughout Country Reaches Chicago Area; Do Well Locally Chicago suburbs in May did approx- imately $10,000,000 in building con- struction. This figure is based on building permits filed in twenty-one of the principal suburbs. According to a special survey made by S. W. Strauss and company of building in the Chicago area, these twentv-one suburbs filed plans for building amounting to $9,687,121 last month, a loss of only five percent against the building volume in the same suburbs last year. If the Chicago total for May were added the volume in the Chicago area, based on the suburbs reporting, would be $37,493,621 or a loss of eight percent as against last year. Wilmette and Glencoe Gain Berwyn, Blue Island, Evanston, Glen- coe, Highland Park, La Grange, Lake Forest, Waukegan and Wilmette were the suburbs showing gains in May, 1927, over May, 1926. The suburbs showing gains in May over April this year included Berwyn, Blue Island, Cicero, Highland Park, Lake Forest, La Grange and Wauke- gan. For the first five months of 1927 Ev- anston eclipsed all other suburbs in the volume of building, making a total for the five months of this year amounting to $8,941,250 as against $6,- 883.670 for the first five months of 1926. Evanston's record for the first five months this year was the largest for any in the some period in the last five years. Gary with a five months' total this vear of $6,425,668 fell behind its own five months' record of last year of $7,- 048.048. Gary's record this year, how- ever, was practically twice its first five months' record for 1924 and more than three times its first five months' record in 1923. It is notable in the case of Gary, however, that the largest indus- trial building in that city is not in- cluded in permits filed with the build- ing commissioner. Gary has, with com- parative frequency, placed in the list of twenty-five leading cities of the United States in point of building vol- ume and were the larger industrial plants included in the steel city's build- ing volume Gary would undoubtedly have placed much higher in this honor list of cities in previous months. Slump Reaches Suburbs According to the Straus report the building slump current all over the country has reached the suburbs, al- though in the May to May comparisor Evanston made gains of twenty per- cent, Highland Park twenty-four per- cent, La Orange fifty percent, Wauke- gan 224 percent, Wilmette twenty-seven percent, Lake Forest 339 percent and Blue Island thirty-four percent. The general tendency was for building to be less in May this year than last con- sidering the suburbs as a whole. May, 1927, as against May, 1926, showed losses in the following suburbs: Aurora, Chicago Heights, Cicero, Des Plaines, Glen Ellyn, Joliet, Maywood. Oak Park, Wilmette, Gary, Hammond and East Chicago. ; Mrs. Edgar Burchard, 310 Oxford road, Kenilworth, entertained Mrs. R. H.
