Building Operations for April. 



Official building reports from forty-seven lead- 

 ing cities of the country, for the month of April. 

 liiOS, received and tabulated by The American 

 Contractor, Chicago, show a marked falling off 

 in the value of building permits issued as com- 

 pared with the corresponding month of last 

 year. Yet, notwithstanding the loss, which 

 amounts to nearly one-third, the operations re- 

 ported are still large when contrasted with those 

 of only a few years ago. Several things com- 

 bine to reduce building operations at present — 

 the enormous amount of construction work done 

 within recent years, which has largely supplied 

 the demand for buildings : the unsettled condi- 

 lions incident to the recent currency stringency, 

 and the approach of the presidential election. 

 Only eleven cities show a gain. Most notable 

 among these is Chicago, where the permits ag- 

 gregated $0,130,850, a gain of 14 per cent.

Ne'w California Corporation. 



The Southern California Eucalyptus Forest 

 Company, which has just been incorporated with 

 a capitalization of $1,000,000, will maintain its 

 head office in El Cajon ; the directors are E. C. 

 Smith, C. E. Race and J. W. Puterbaugh. The 

 company will at first devote Itself mainly to the 

 manufacture of lumber and oil from the euca- 

 lyptus timber upon which it will operate and to 

 the planting of extensive areas with new growth, 

 half of which will be the Australian blue gum 

 and the remainder Australian "mahogany," an- 

 other variety of tlie eucalyptus family. 



The company has taken over the McDonald 

 grove at El CaJon, one of the finest on this con- 

 tinent, as well as a number of other tracts in 

 southern California. As soon as possible an 

 area of about GOO acres will be planted, with 

 an average of 600 trees to the acre. In addition 

 to the matured timber purchased the company 

 is negotiating for several large nursery tracts 

 in various stages of growth. Many of the 

 trees will cut 1,500 feet of merchantable lum- 

 ber, which will be sawed Into many articles for 

 which hardwood is used — interior finish and 

 fioors. tool bandies, wagon and carriage wood- 

 work. Insulator pins and other things "that re- 

 quire a strength equal to second-growth hickory, 

 the grain of maple and the polish of mahogany.' 

 savs an enthusiastic member of the company. 

 Many of the trees will be sold for wharf piling,
