By dividing the cities at Port Arthur into eastern and western divisions, it is found that the east has turned a decrease, shown in a) March, and a one per cent. gain for the first quarter, into the satletac- tory advance of 20.3 per cent. The gain of 64.2 per cent., and this in spite of the fact that in many of the cities it Wwas-not expected that the high level of last April would be exceeded. Toronto, although showing a de- crease, has the largest total, the de- er ase being explained by the num- ber of large buildings included in last April's permits.

The permits issued in that city up to the 30th of April are considerably over of permits issued in 1911. With thiz large amount of building added to that which is already under construction, started or soon to be started, not to consider municipal un- dertakings and railroad extension, it needs no prophetic vision to see that labor and capital in Cangda for-some time to come will be employed to their fullest capacity.
