PAGE 14 PERMITS REACH RECORD TOTAL First Day of Year Does a Good Month's Work Piling up building permits with a combined valuation of $1,965,960, Seattle's building department began the year with the biggest volume of business that has ever Leen seen on the opening day of a year, The day's. total, moreover, was larger than the total for any month Int with the exception of the), month in which the permit for the community hotel was issued. Three big buildings supplied the] bulk of the total value, but a good number of permits were issued for residences, and the crowd of appll- cants that filled the office indicated | that the year was starting out to} be another record-breaker, The new $750,000 Medical building | of the Metropolitan Building Co. the new $565,000 apartment house of Stephen Berg, and the first $500, | 000 unit of the Pacific Steamship Co.'s new $4,000,000 dock Seeminay were the three big permits Issued.

Gow man, “Australia, an island continent | greater in land area than the United | States, has a white population of only 5,000,000. This small population is) largely duo to the Inherited love for tradition and precedent which dic- | tates the provincial policy of appeal- ing only to Englishmen for settlers,” said Pearce. He stated that on the other ex- treme, the Australians were an excit: | able people with a profund propensity | for experimenting, which has re- }sulted in many of the political and) {social legislative acts, such as the | balloting system, the minimum wage liaws and other acts Inaugurated in jthe tsland continent and adopted by other countries. Mr, Pearce stated that the Austm- | Mans’ attitude towards the United country is tho headquarters for jerime and that it is “selfish and dol- jlar-ridden.” He urged that greater [publicity be given the actual facts |regarding the United States. President Hugh Caldwell an- nounced the committee chairmen for the current year. Aleck Bennett of | Bremerton invited the Seattle group | to meet in Bremerton at an early} date, - It was voted to accept the in- yitation and to attend in a body. --*hey Bureau Report TATOOSH ISLAND, Jan. 3. ~~ m— Barometer rising; cloudy; wind east, 24 miles an hour, Alaska Vessels ‘Wrangell, Jan Rogers, southbound, at 1:39 p.m. Petersburg, Jan. 2.—Salled—Str Adm!- ral Rogers, southbound, at $:40 —. m, Cordova, Jan. 1.—Sajled—Str Victoria, southbound, at § a. m oe Arrivals and Departures Arrived—Jan. 2.--Str Wearport from thay at oson; ctr Yogen darn from ye Harbor, at neon; str Rrwest I Meyer from San Francisco, at 1:30 p. m.; ste Cordova form Tacom Jun. 2.—Otr Circinus from Vancouver via| ‘Tacoma, at § Dp. m.; ete Weet Cadron from Shanghai, at 1:30 p. wt str Ala- hata Sigil tesa Tesoma ras 4148 pe va str Ruth Alexander trom Tacoma, at 1:35 D. m.; etr El Segundo from El Segundo, ttle m Salled-——Jan, 2.—Str Alabama Maru for Shanghal via po teatlaue for Mantle’ via peria, at 3a. tm Jan. 3-—Str President Jackson for Taco: ma, at 45 Dp. m.; ma George Washing- ton for Christiania via ports str’ Cross ‘Keys tor Dairen 30 p. m.; str Panaman for Tacoma, 15 p. m Vessels in Port at Seattle + | Smith Cove Terminal—Pter 41—Str shia- after charges, depreciation and fed-| eral tax, versus $7,242,677 in previ- zuoka Maru, West Cadron.
