LEE APRIL WAS POOR City Controller's Books Show That Permits for Month Totaled but $20,275. LAST APRIL MUCH BETTER CITY CLERK TAGGART WHO FORMERLY ISSUED PERMITS ATTRIBUTES DECREASE TO THE WEATHER. From the appearance of the books of the City Controller, who Issues building permits, this year, is the poorest for building that Richmond has seen for a long time. Last year, the building was not booming in April, a.nd yet permits were taken out to build houses and other structures valued at $38,200. This year, the permits are but a little in excess of half this amount. Last night, it was found that 28 permits were issued during the month. Eight were for new buildings and the remainder wero for remodeling old ones. The total cost of these buildings, as specified on the permits is $20,275. In March, 14 permits were issued, calling for an expenditure of $1095. In April 1905, twenty nine permits were issued. Tlrick houses were built at a cost of $11,000 and frame ones at $27,200 making a total, of $37,300. There were twenty one new houses last year, against eight this year. City Clerk Taggart attributes the decrease of 1906 to the weather and says that In May, permits for buildings will be Issued which will more than offset the loss In April. Dr. Starbuck to Lecture.

Hasty who it was feared had bv?n killed by the Sun Francisco earthquake is safe. A letter has been received by his mother, Mrs. M. A. Hasty. John G. Hasty, a brother was so fearful that he sent advertisements to the San Francisco papers in an effort to find him. The letter received is published in full: Dear Mother: Well, I am here in Jefferson Square Park, safe, sound and sane, with not a scratch, well fed, and healthy. I built a good little house tent in this beautiful little park of four blocks , square, with palms, ferns, etc., for neighbors. I stopped the night of the earthquake at Frof. Clayton's. The building did not go down. It was north of Market street. I helped him to save some of his things. We made a sled of sign boards We went to Union Square first, but had to leave when the fire came dose. We dragged the slert all night, at intervals, and until noon the next clay before we reached here. We would keep two or three blocks ahead of the fire and then rest for a half hour or so. As we came out, the soldiers confiscated a grocery, and they told mo to come in and help mvself. I made four trips in and landed at this park with twelve cans of edibles. I gave a doctor something to eat, and he gave me two pillows md two comforts. Oh, I am as liappy as a big bumblebee in clover, so don't you worry. Of course thi3 an an awful catastrophe, but if it had happened two hours later, there would have been thousands killed. I am right on the edge of residence burned district. I have written this as soon as I had an opportunity. I am thankful to bo alive, unhurt and well. I bought a paper and was going to send it, but they do not "Frank" them, and tlf had no stamps, and they told me not to send it yet. Will mail it later on. Will close and write again soon as convenient. RYROX L. HASTY. Station H, San Francisco, Cal. April 22. 1906. Penny Club Meeting.

Yesterday was the last cay that the fine tothsome Baltimore - oyster could bo dredged from the big oyster ports of Maryland, and 1 other Chesapeak Bay states. New York oysters, of rather interior quality when compared to the Baltimore product, are still on the market, but not for long. It is a common saying that oysters are not "fit to eat" during the months that have no "r" in them, as May, June, July, and August. -The first "r" comes in September when oysters reappear on the market and are Immediately In demand. Many people will not taste an oyster on the first day of May when they would have eaten it on the day previous. Richmond dealers ceased to handle oysters until the early fall months, although some may be had if ordered. Haager Is Fined.
