The figures given out Friday do not include the deaths which occurred yesterday, therefore the figuro will be added to by deaths which have occurred during the last 36 to 24 hours of the year. According to the report on births there is a decrease in the number of births during 1915 under that of 1914. In the previous year 1,906 babies were born here while in 1915 but 1,779 were recorded, according to the report.

There wero just l,5f,5 resident permits taken out and one nonresident license. Tho prevalence of wild fowl and game of all sorts this year is believed to be the reason for the large number of permits issued. MUCH MAIL IS HANDLED DURING YEAR JUST PAST Keeeipts for lecember Will Dring Year's Total Alxe the 1U11 Mark. Ist year's (1915) Christmas rush at the postoffice probably will bring the figures for the year considerably higher than in 1914. December's receipts probably will exceed those of the same month of the previous year by several hundred or $1.000. Although the report of the local tfice has not been completed, it is known that the increase in the amount of mail handled during the holidays was sufficient to help the figures for the entire year, In spite of the expected increase, it will not be what it should be normally. The Duropean war. which has had its effect on international mails, caused the increase of the first half of the year to be abnormal, and it probably will be more noticeable for the last six months. In the last few months parcel post packages for many countries have been refused, ow ing to a suspension of the international agreement in regard to the mails.

Huilding ol the past year has been different in the main from building of years previous. Remodeling and additions are represented by the bulk of permits issued, which accounts for the low financial valuation of the Dec. 30th report. November forged ahead of several months this year, and far in advance of the fame in 1914. and in other periods for some time. In November of 1915, 34 permits were issued, representing a total of $77,300. In December of 1915, 10 permits were issued, with a total cash value of $16,903. Hank Mögest IluiluTng. South Bend's new bank building, tho Union Trust company's home, which is now in process of construction at the corner of Michigan and Jefferson sts., led in the permits issued.

Navarre st., $15,000; Kagle hall. N. Michigan st, $25,000; and the Werwinskl appartments on S. Taylor st., estimated at $25,000. The improvements to the Lontz coal yards on E.

RECORD MADE BY

LOCAL CHARITIES Association Handled 3,006 Cases Advice Is Given Many People. Financial stringency during the early morths of 1915 caused the Associated Charities to establish a record that probably will not be equalled here for some time. During1 the yeir the charities handled a total of 3,00-6 cases, the greatest number in the organization's history. According to Miss Carrie Rein, former secretary of the Associated Charities, who is now in cruxrge of the Progress club office, the conditions early In 1915 make it unfair to attempt to compare the record made by the charities with that of any other year. The dropping off in business caused many families to become destitute and forced them to ask aid. The number of calls in the first few months of the year boosted the total number for the year up to 3,006. but these requests were for various kinds of aid. Of the total, 1,592 were for material relief only, such as food, clothing, shelter, furniture and cash. After thorough investlgation, it was found possible to handle only 1,108 of these cases. Although the report for this one particular kind of relief shows that 4 84 cases which were brought to the attention of the charities were not taken care of, the number of other kinds of cases brought the figures to the place where the requests equalled the number of families that were helped. IMgures For 1915. Followlr.g' are the figures for the various kinds of aid: Material relief, 1,592; transportation, 73; care for sick, 59; special service for children, such as school attendance and guardianship, 19; institutional care, 2; securing homes for old people, 3; work, temporary and permanent. 587; service only, such as legal advice, investigation, counsel, locating persons, 6 4 0. Cases on which the information is lacking number 31. Following are the figures showing the number of cases In which relief was given: Material relief, 1,108; care for sick, 9; werk, 265; service only, 58S; arranged care for persons through other agencies, 172; requests not fulfilled after investigtaion, 665; requests withdrawn, 85; Information lacking, 114. Though the figures show that 3,006 calls were made during the year, only 1,247 families were aided. Experience In charitable work, according to MIsh Rein, has shown that the nationality and the marital conditions of the families have much to do with cases of destitution. Reports for the year along this line show the greatest number of families requiring aid were from Europe. Nineteen European countries were represented by 688 families. The next highest were native families of this country, there being 615 white and 28 Negro families from the United States. Eight were citizens of some other American country: four represented three Asiatic countries, and of the remaining 74 the nationality was not learned. Many Investigations. Investigation of the marital relations gave the following: Heads of families married, 707; single, 273; legally or otherwise separated, 215; co-habiting couples, 7; homeless children, 7. Of the 88 whose social state was not learned, most of them were transients and persons for whom other cities were inquiring. Cooperating with the Associated Charities in caring for families were the following: Trustee Witwer, police department, schools, board of children's guardians. Humane society, Juvenile court, Anti-Tuberculosis society. Salvation army. Industrial home, Auten Relief corps. Visiting Nurses' association. Impromptu club, Y. W. C. A.. Y. M. C.
