NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1930. _ SURVEY DISCLOSES " GAIN N BULDING Statistios for August Reveal Increase in Connecticut One of the ‘most remarkable building booms ever to occur in Connecticut took place in the month of August, according to the month- 1y building survey conducted through the office of E. L. Taylor, | ingustrial commissioner of the New | Haven . railroad. Coming after Tnonths of sub-normal activity, the| August figures indicate a refresh- ing. optimistic improvement, show- ing a gain of more than six mil- lion dollars over July in the build- ing perniits granted by the 22 cities and towns reported upon in the gurvey. Increases over July were shown in the building permits issued by 15 of the 22 communities. They were as | follows: Bridgeport, Derby, Green- wich, Hamden, Hartford, Meriden New Britain, New Haven, Norwich Stamford, Stratfo Torrington Wallingford, Waterbury and West Haven. New Haven headed the for the month with building per- mits valued at $5.314.955, a figure made possible by the $4,350,000 per- | mit granted to Yale university for | the erection of the new Payne Whit- | ney gymnasium. Hartford held sec- | ond place with Stamford third. | August permits also revealed a‘ marked gain over those issued in August, 1929. This was the first time this year that any month has shown an increase over the corres- ponding month of last year. The gain amounted to nearly four and | one-half millions. Nine of the 22| communities participated in this in- | crease. They wert Derby, Hartfrd, | New Haven, Norwich, Stamford, | Stratford, Torrington, Wallingford and West Haven. Comparative fig- ures for August, 1930, and August, | 1929, are given as follows: | City Aug. 1930 Aug. 1929 | ‘Bristol . $2 356 Bridgeport .... 101, DanBury eee 62 Derby Greenwich Hamden Hartford Meriden Middletown Naugatuck New Britain New Haven New London Norwalk Norwich Stamford Stratford ; Torrington .... 228 Wallingford ... 48, ‘Waterbury .... 106,65 West Hartford 325.514 West Haven .. 1489 TOBACCO CROP IN STATE LESS THAN ANTICIPATED, Fail Cuts Down Poundage But Total Will Be Greater Than For Last Season Prospects for cigar type tobacco | on September 1 were for a crop to- | talling 159,636,000 pounds compared | with 170,628,000 pounds expected a month ago and 161,842,000 pounds harvested in 1929. This outlook is 6.6 per cent less than expected a month ago and 1.4 per cent less| than harvested last year, in spite of ‘a 7.4 per cent increase in the acreage planted to this crop. Drouth | damage in the western states and hal, damage in New Ensland are the yxircipal causes of the reduc- tion in prospects. In New England weather condi- | tions during August were unfavor- | able to the growth and maturity of the Connecticut valley tobacco crop. | Hail storms extending up into| Massachusetts ~ did considerable | damage to the sun-grown varieties | including both broadleaf and Ha- | vana seed. The damage was com- | plote in some instances and has re- | duced yield prospects considerably. | Total production for the valley this | season is placed at 40.152.000 pounds compared with 38,684,000 pounds harvested last year and 43 £72.000 pounds the five-year a\'ar-; age 1924-1928 The Pennsylvania tobacco crop has been reduced materially b drouth and is expected to total 3 905,000 pounds compared with 47 601,000 poungs harvested last year. In Wisconsin the tobacco crop is expected to total 46,000,000 pounds compared with 45,140,000 harvested last year in spite of a material in- crease in acreage over last year. 1 TO CUT RADIUM PRICE Washington, D.
