HASKINS BROS. BUILD ADDITION TO FACTORY A new building. 44 by lie. In to be erected for the Hasklna Bros. op com pany at Second and Hickory streets. It Is to have two stories and basement. This will practically double the capacity of the present plant at that place. The building permit eaila for a $6,000 struc ture. A. O. Borchmaa la the contractor. The value of the permits taken out for new construction during May approxi mates closer the total of the correspond ing period In 1914 than that of any pre ceding month this year, amounting;, ac cording to reports received by Dunn's Re view from the building departments ot elrrhty-two leading cities in the United States, to $78,738,163, as against rt.t87.22S, a decrease of only t per cent To quite a material extent tbia unusually satisfac tory exhibit is accountedfefor by the auh sttntial gain at New York, that city re porting permits granted calling for the expenditure of $23,667,130, a gain ot 64 per cent over the $14,881,469 of the same month last year. The Borough of Man hattan makes a decidedly favorable com parison with a year ago, with $i3fM,6X, against $7,066,900, although $10,000,000 of this amount Is represented by a single permit for a new municipal building, and the Bronx, with $4,634,950, against $L7,4U, also makes an exceptionally encouraging showing. In the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, however, there Is some contraction. Taken as a whole, the cities outside New York again make somewhat Indifferent returns, the total at eighty-one points, $50,071,043, being 16. per cent smaller than In May, 1914, when the aggregate reached $je,506.7D8. How ever, indications of Improvement are not entirely absent, inasmuch as repoits of Increase at twenty-nine centers point to reviving activity. Among the most nota ble gains are: Chicago, $9S2,860; Cleve land. $2,960,089; Hartford, $261,441; Jersey City. $138,571; Newark. $162,467; El Paao, $322.90!. and Uprlngflcld.
