June building permits -boosted the
city record of operations for the first
six months of 1915 almost to the
million dollar mark.
June, 1915, incidentally holds a
place in a class of its own among Junes
of ten other years as the record
breaker for sums represented in build

During the month that closes to-day
forty-seven permits were issued at an
estimated cost of $221,950. This, with
the previous monthly totals since
January runs the total of estimated
expenditure in new building operations
in Harrisburg to date to $842,300. The
entire total of 1914 was $1,269,500 and
from present Indications the present
year will top that record by some
thousands of dollars. In the next six

Inquiry at both residences de

MIDDLETOWN MAN?
Middletown people believe the
missing man is William E.
Brown, a sea faring carpenter of
that borough who has not been in
Middletown for nearly four years
and whose whereabouts are now
unknown. He has been more fa
miliarly known as "Billy."
Color to the reports that the
missing " Brown, Harris

Middletown, is added by the fact
that when last heard of Mr.
Brown was employed in the Lake
trade. He frequently touched at
