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

WASHINGTON", Jan. 1. The

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.

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

Prohibition enforcement ranks
