The Eventing Worlds “Home Mag York by the Piws Publiehing Company, No, 63 to 6 Park Row, New at thr: Post-Omice at New York as Second-Class Mail Matter. .NO. 16,082, THE BUILDING BOOM. During the first eight months of this year building plans calling for! fan outlay of $96,627,087 were filed in the Borough of Manhattan, repre- | senting an increase of more than $12,000,000 over the total for all of last | year in this borough. For the entire year 1905 it is estimated that in the three boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx the figures will, reach the colossal aggregate of $250,000,000. | Antiquity may still point to its pyramids and palaces and cathedrals a| examples of the builder's art not since surpassed in magnificence. Yet the present extraordinary development of commercial building construction | petmits comparisons not to the disadvantage of the modern builder. His towers of Babel rise on every side. He reproduces Florentine palaces or Touraine chateaux to order at the whim of steel kings. Incidentally he is trying his hand on a cathedral of unusual massiveness. Never in the history of the world has the builder reared a monument to himself and his craft comparable with that in Manhattan, where his achievements are to be traced in the elevation of the sky line two hundred feet within ten years. The mammoth railway tunnels under way, the gigantic hotels, stores. and office buildings, the docks, power-houses, private mansions, school- houses, churches, hospitals, form an unparalleled exhibition of building activity. , Certainly these should be halcyon times for skilled labor In this vicinity. Where else in the world is such a stream flowing for carpenters, housesmiths, ironworkers, masons, plasterers, bricklayers, cabinetmakers, or where else is their individual share of it so large? From the “boss” | behind the construction company down to the humblest helper, there is| enough to go around and more. The only fear will be lest the very) abundance of the work to be had may induce wage quarrels which in| the lean year would be leit in abeyance, According to the secretary of the Building Trades Employers’ bones ciation all the skilled mechanics in the city, to the number of 75,000, are at work, and with them an equal number of laborers. In their pay | envelopes lies prosperity for another host of equal size—for grocers’ chil- | dren, tailors’ families and the army of those who are dependent for their welfare on that of the Inboring classes. And on the other hand, a pros- pect of flush times for tradesmen of a larger order, for hotels, haber-| dashers, florists and all who will come in for some part of the contractor's | and builder's share. In that $96,000,000 and in the other millions already in process of dis.| bursement there will be innumerable distribution centres, small and large, } for cash which is to go where it will do much good. # Letters from the People, « sponge across them, When we look fee) What In a Cure for Denfneast {To the Editor of The Evening World: Kindly print. the following: A few | Patriot blood should remind us that months ago I caught a severe cold in| the principle such renown attacks | the head, which after passing away | Vastly more important to the American left me totally deat. public than peace between Ru: Would some kind reader who has| Javan. : had or heard of a similar experience ‘The Old-Fashioned Girl. let me know of A cure?
