he has serveLl a four-year term. His statement says : "I have decided that 

 if the voters of Buffalo desire me to remain in the council for another term 

 of four yeans I am willing to accept the responsibility, and continue to 

 give them an efficient and businesslike administration — honestly and fear- 

 lessly." In his candidacy Mr. Kreinheder will not have the su{)port of 

 the Republican leader and the county chairman, who want a candidate who 

 will be more of a partisan. Mr. Kreinheder has been independent of poli- 

 tics in making his appointment. If he is nominated he will no doubt 

 received a great vote and the backing of the lumbermen. He was the high 

 man when the first election of councilmen was held under the commission 

 form of government. 



Building permits for this city during July numbered G77, with total 

 costs of $1,458,000. This compares with 344 permits and $972,000 in the 

 same month of last year, or a gain in costs of about 50 per cent. For 

 the first seven months of 1919 the costs were $6,297,000, as compared 

 with $4,517,000 in that period of last year, or a gain of 39 per cent. The 

 number of permits recorded so far this year has been the largest in the 

 city's history, being 3997 to August 1. While Buffalo ranks eleventh 

 among big cities of the country, in point of population, It is nineteenth 

 in the total costs of building operations for the first six months of the year. 



The .Tamestown strike appears to be broken, as a large part of those who 

 still remained out ueld a meeting the other day and voted to return to work. 

 The union leaders are said to have realized the futility of further pro- 

 longing the struggle with the employers. It was decided to take up the 

 grievances separately after the men had returned to work. The furniture 

 factories have been hampered by labor troubles for many weeks and pro- 

 duction has been much behindhand. 



Hugh McLean left last week with a party of Buffalo business men to 

 his summer cnnip at Pytonga Lake, Canada, and will be gone for about 

 two weeks. The party expects to do considerable fishing. 



PITTSBURGH 



Statistics in building operations in western Pennsylvania. West Vir- 

 ginia and Ohio show that contracts awarded up to August 1, 1919, 

 amounted to $1SS.95S. During the first seven months of 1918 the con- 

 tracts amounted to $291,271,000 in the same territory. 



The Uuqueisne Light Company is arranging to build a $25,000,000 power 

 plant up the Allegheny river which will probably be the largest industry 

 of its kind in the state. 



The Mahoning Valley Lumber Company, capital $200,000, has completed 

 its organization at New Castle, Pa., with G. G. Stitzinger, president; A. E. 

 Kerr, vice-president and Charles Duff, secretary and treasurer. 



The Anchor Box & Lumber Company of Millvale. Pa., has bought the 

 prttperty occupied by the old River Avenue Pumping Station in Allegheny 

 and will use it for an addition to its plant. 



The Kendall Lumber Company believes that mining business will be 

 considerably better from now on. Low and medium-grade hardwoods are 

 coming up in demand for this trade at better prices than have prevailed 

 in the summer. 



The Liberty Lumber Company is a new concern at Washington, Pa., 

 which has bought a tract of hardwood and hemlock near that place and 

 will cut it off at once. Incorporators are C. H. Kay, J. L. Sheldon and 

 A. H. (Jallup of Youngsville, Pa. 



BALTIMORE 



In pursuance of the movement started not long ago to attract a larger 

 amount of the country's business with foreign lands to Baltimore as the 

 gateway, the recently organized Export and Import Board of Trade on 

 August 1 held a meeting at the Southern hotel and resolved to raise a 

 fund of $100,000 for the purpose of launching the campaign in view. This 

 sum, it is calculated, will suffice to carry on the work for the first year, 

 and another $50,000 is to be raised for the second and third year. At 

 the meeting $46,000 was pledged as a starter, the balance to be subscribed 

 as soon as possible, in order that arrangements can be made to engage 

 the services of one of the leading experts in such matters in the country. 

 The board constituted itself a committee of the whole to raise the balance 

 called for without delay. Among those present was John L. Alcock, 

 John L. Alcock & Co., the well-known lumber exporters, who has taken a 

 prominent part in the movement from the start. Lumber exporters especi- 

 ally are expected to derive advantages from the movement. 



The transfer of the sawmill of the R. E, Wood Lumber Company from 

 one timber boundary to another at Rift, W. Va., is about completed, and 

 it is expected that the plant will begin to turn out lumber in the next 

 few days. A change in location was made desirable because the timber 

 in one valley had been cut out and another had to be drawn upon. A 

 logging railroad has been built into the new tract. The mill has a 

 capacity of about 50,000 feet a day. The R. E. Wood company has offices 

 In the Continental building here. 



Baltimore is to have n line of steamers to San Francisco, soon. The 

 vessels are to be put on by the Southern Pacific Steamship Company and 

 will make stops at Costa Rica, Panama and Havana. Four steamers will 

 be operated from the first, and the expectation is that Pacific coast woods 

 In considerable quantities will find their way here by the new route, 

 which is also looked to bring some of the hardwoods from southern terri- 

 tory, such as mahogany, to Baltimore. Still another line is to be operated 

 between Baltimore and Buenos Aires, W. W. Tlngley. Baltimore repre-
