FIVE Houses a Day Still Being
Erected Here.
Half a Million Dollars for Homes
Twenty Days.
A Most Gratifying Showing Taken From
the Record of Building Inspector
Eison-The strike Caused
No Diminution.

Perhaps no more crucial test OF the
solidity and permanent character of the
building boom that ia now in progress in
the city OF Los Angeles could be obtained
than is indicated by the homes built in
this city sincs the first of this month.
Cut off from the outside world, with
an almost absolute suspension OF bust.
ness, as the result OF the greatest strike
in the history OF the world, during the
pact 81 days, the average OF five new
houses erected each day since the first of
January has been steadily maintained.
Not only is this true, but it is equally a
matter OF record that 1925, 753 have gone
into new buildings here in Los Angeles
during the past 20 days. 1t is equally
interesting to note that the larger pro-
portion OF these structures are in the
southwestern section OF the city, show
ing that the links OF sympathy with
Santa Monica are daily being drawn
more closely together.
