tutions and to the Federal Government. These reports of building are of interest to construction companies, manufacturers and jobbers of building supplies, and to tradesmen engaged in the various building trades. Building permit information is now published monthly by the De- partment for the following forty-four Pennsylvania cities and bor- oughs: Allentown, Altoona, Ambridge, Berwick, Bethlehem, Bradford, Bristol, Butler, Carlisle, Clairton, Coatesville, Connellsville, Donora, Duquesne, Easton, Erie, Harrisburg, Hazleton, Homestead, Jeannette, Johnstown, Lancaster, McKeesport, McKees Rocks, Meadville, Mon- essen, Monongahela, New Castle, Norristown, Oil City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Pottsville, Reading, Scranton, Sunbury, Tyrone, Union- town, Warren, Washington, Wilkes-Barre, Wilkinsburg, Williamsport, ind York. RECORDS OF DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES The maintenance of statistical records of the work accomplished by the individual bureaus of the Department is another part of the Bu- reau’s work. Primarily such records are compiled for the informa- tion and guidance of the administrative head of the Department and for general record purposes. The records also serve as bases for the preparation of periodical reports of accomplishment by the individual bureaus. When it is considered that on an average 180,000 accidents are received and 70,000 compensation agreements are approved each year by the Bureau of Workmen’s Compensation, some idea of the magni- tude of the task of statistical compilation and analysis is obtained. The necessary sorting, counting and tabulating of eards to obtain detailed information concerning all classes of accidents during the course of a year requires the handling of many millions of cards. The compre- hensive and accurate presentation of the results of statistical inquiry seldom reflects any real indication of the amount of painstaking work sntailed in its preparation.
