Presentation of papers on different scientific subjects continue to occupy meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Scl- ence. Although trailing a poor third at mid-year, the building record for the past year, pulled up by leaps and bounds after the first of July, and including all permits issued up to the last day of December, the year lacks only $1,048 of equalling the greatest building year the city has ever had, 1 922. The permits issued during 1924 totalled $317,776, far above the preceding year, and only slightly below 1922. The main, and outstanding feature of the year's building, however, is the great number of residences constructed. Never before in the history of the city has there been such a record of new homes. Exactly sixty-two new homes were constructed during the year, averaging better than $4,500 apiece. This great building boom was not confined to any one por tion of Roseburg, for the homes were built in every section, but Laurelwood probably led in setting the record, particularly in expensive homes. The dwelling permits ranged from $1,000 to $ 1 4,000 each, indicating that the type of buildings constructed for residence purposes is of high standard. A study of the building records of past years is very in teresting, showing fluctuations in various kinds of building. The year 1922 was the high mark in city building. Resi dences, the Kohlhagen apartment building, Kights of Pythias lodge hall, and garages, combined to make it the leading year of the city's history from the building standpoint. During 1922 many new families moved into Roseburg. No vacant houses were to be had, apartment houses were filled to the limit, everything was crowded. All of these people were Interested in the city's industry, and the business conditions war ranted business expansion so that the year 1923 was one of con struction of buildings devoted to business purposes. The Grand Hotel was remoldeled and the Terminal Hotel Was built. Metzger built his big warehouse. The two broccoli shipping plants were constructed. Several concrete garages and store buildings were built, and James Hutchings constructed a new bakery. The records show that each time there is a boom in busi ness building, that it is immediately and closely followed by an increase in the number of new homes. For instance 1921 start ed out with a residential building boom, which continued into 1922. The latter part of 1922 and the first part of 1923. was largely devoted to business building. Then starting in the latter part of 1924 and continuing over into 1924 come the city's greatest boom of home building, and the year just passed has set a high record to be reached. But, from all appearances his tory is to repeat itself, and this year the pendulum will swing back to business construction, for already the indications point that way. Two business permits were secured in December which count on 1925 business. A $55,00 hotel is to be built by a local investment company, and a store building is to be con structed at the camp grounds, and although the permits are counted in the 1924 totals, the building operations will actually occur during 1925. This year will see an expediture of $165,000 for a new (Continued on page fl. SCHOOL IB APPRECIATED Teachers Present Resolu tion of Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Brown.

The Perlinfrer TaReblatt 1b publishing in its New Year edition a sympo sium of views from American pub lic officials, bankers and others reflecting opinion In this coun try as to what pronpects the fu ture holds for Germany under the Dawes plan for reparation settle ment. The 15 contributors to the sym posium, compiled here on the basis of an inquiry addressed to Germ any outlook and cabled to the Per lin paper, include Secretary Mel len. Chairman Borah of the sen ate foreign relations committee and Bernard M. Baruch. who help ed frame the economic clauses of .the Versailles treaty. Secretary Mellon views the Dawes plan as having affected "the growth of a new mental atti tude and outlook on the part of the people of Germany and all parts of Europe. He sees Its removal of uncertainly as having -already brought a "certain sense of relief, and a return to something of the old time industrial vigor and thrift of Germany. Senator Borah, re garding the Dawes plans as "on ly a step" in settlement of the reparation problem, declares no "plan can ever be successful un til the final amount la adusted.' And that It Is Inevitable that this amount be fixed within reason.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1. Four fntal shootings, only two arrests for drunkeness packed hotel dining rooms, cabarets and restaurants, and numberless private house Par ties heralded the New Year into Chicago. The loop district held several thousand persons on the streets far past midnight, many unable to gain admission to dance halls or dining rooms. Prohibition agents reported the usual distribution of liquor but those who drank did so on the quiet, they said. Promiscuous drink was not so much in evidence as In previous years since the ad vent of prohibition, the enforce ment officers added. Stray bullets believed fired by persons Joining in the celebration were declared responsible for Uie deaths of four men. One was a passenger on a suburbnn train. He died on the train. Another was shot to death In his home when a hiiiiet enme throueh a window ana two others were found dead ot bullet wounds on the streets. NEW YOTtTC. Jan. 1. Record crowds, despite the rapldy fullng temperatures, milled about the sidewalks of New York far Into the early hours on New Years uny in a carnival spirit, tooting horns and clanging cowbells, to make their greeting to the New Year audible over the shrill whistles and the church chimes. In the theatrical district the mass of people were kept In some form of slow motion by 300 extra patrolmen, who were nearly over whelmed when the theatres pour ed out their patrons at th ap- nrnseh of mldnlcht. Prohibition enforcement ranks were greatly reinforced hut only one raid of any consequence was mado during the enry morning hours, when 15,000 worth of l!q auor was seized In an east side restaurant.
