Mr. Gross had been failing steadily | for some time, and though sudden, | the end came not unexpected. The| funeral will be held in Bismarck, on Monday afternoon, although final | consultation with the sons coming! from Minot may cause a change. Al-| though the deceased had lived here only a short time, yet he had at-! tained the high respect of his neigh-| bors in ample measure and his pas- sing will also be sincétely regretted among a large circle of friends at Fargo and in Adams county. Gottfried Ferdinand Gross was born near Sorau, in the village of Albrechtsdorf, northern Silesia, Ger- at the time of his demise in his! many, on December 19, 1842, being| cighty-first year.

W. Dodge company. December building con- tracts in the 27 northeastern states (ineluding about three-fourths of the total construction in the country) amounted to $215,213,00. Although this was 12% less than fhe Novem- ber figure it was 8% greater than that of December, 1921. The December figure brought the year's total for these 27 states up to $8,345,950,000 (which would in- dicate about 4% billions for the en- tire country). This was an increase of 42% over 1921. Had sttch an enormous increase been predicted a year ago, it would have been consid- ered impossible. Analysis of the year’s record shows the following important items: ‘res- identical buildings to the amount of $1,341,009,000, or 40% of the year's total; public works and utilities $562- 06¢,000 or 17%; business buildings, $496,145,000 or 15%; industrial build- | ings $325,100,000 or 10%, and educat tional buildings $303,272,000 or 9%.

Contracts in this class called for the construetion of over 81 million square feet on new floor space, enough new housing to accommodate nearly 200,000 families. While residential construction was the outstanding feature of the year’s the investment in structures of other kinds was 36% greater than in 1921, showing a marked trend toward a nomally proportioned building pro- gram. Contracts awarded during Decem- ber in Minnesota the Dakotas and nosthern Michigan amounted to $4,320,000 an increase of 9% over the previous month, but a decrease of 49% from December 1921. The year's total amounted to $78,- 564,000, a decrease of 8% from the years’ <otal. The important items in last year’s record were: $25,469,000 or 32% for residential buildings; $15,951,000 or 20% for public works and utilities; $13,078,000 or 17% for educations! buildings; $11,120,000 or 14% for business. buildings, and $7,015,00 or 9% for industrial work.
