OVER FOUR DWELLINGS A DAY,
The Very Substantial Building
Boom in Los Angeles.
Over Five Hundred Houses Erected
Here Since January.
The Number Of Building Permits Issued
OF the InCreasO-sOms Comparative
Figures with Those of Last
Year-COntractors Busy.

The substantial building boom which
was inAugurated in Los Angeles last fall
seems to be steadily assuming larger
proportions. In fact there are more
houses going up in the City OF the Angels
at present than in any other city in the
country, and this, in view of the talk
about depressed times, is all the more
remarkable.
The statistics of the superintendent oi
buildings from January 1st to date show
that building permits have been issued
for 800 new structures, certainly a tre-
mendous increase in three and hall
months. The grand total expended on
these buildings was 5000, ,5S5, to which
should be added 100000 more for the
new Irvine building at the corner of
Third and Broadway, for which the per-
NIT will be likely issued today, making
total of $500, $50 expended for new
buildings in a little over three months.
Of the new houses, $l95, 800 Was ex-
pended on buildings ranging in cost
from $1,000 to $20,000, and for editices
above 500 900 there was paid $20S, 900,
while $254, OILS went into houses that
cost less than $4,000 each, showing very
concluslvely that the people oi small
means, the home builders, have money
and sufficient encouragement from the
condition of affairs to make an outlay
ct thie time. A comparison Of the re-
ports of the building inspector for the
first three months of 1898 and the cor
responding three months OF the current
year shows that there has been an
actual increase OF 45 per cent in the
number of buildings erected. ii is also
very encouraging to know That the pros
poets for the summer months is even
higher, as talks with contractors go to
show that the building movement dur
ing the next three mon ths will show a
large excess of increase. This has been
brought about by the recent large sales
of lots in different tracts opened in vari-
Gus sections of the city. the purchasers
OF which have made contracts for new
houses.
Among tho building permits which
have been issued during the past few
days are the folIowing:
H. j. Woollscott, dwelling, Hope
street, $4,000; ]. W. HelImsn, brick
building adjoining Mcdonald building.

CounciImsn Who Are Puzzled for Want
OF More Room.
Now that the city has secured lot Of
new fire alarm apparatus suitable for q
city OF 100000 population in some re-
spects, the council and the FIRE commits
sion are confronted with very perplex-
ing conundrum.
1t is simply that they have no avail
able space in the city hall in which to
set up the electrical appliances. The
present quarters of the chief of the fire
department are decidedly too small for
the purpose, and therS does not seem to
be anywhere else available. 1t has
been suggested that the Office of the
board OF health might be moved into the
room row occupied by the president Of
the council, adjoining the board Of pub
lie works room, and that the old health
Office could be- utilized as an electrical
room, az it Immediately adjoins the
Office of the chief.
On the other hand, Councilman Mum
aon thinks it would be judicious economy
to erect a new engine house on the back
OF the city lot north of the city hall.
This would make saving of SIS per
month By locating No. 8 engine in the
new house, and the electrical appliances
could be located therein.

meeting at Respect, Reed and
Harmer drove to Browns Mills

listen to the doctrine of Republi

to order by Squire Kemper and
presided over by w. N. Edgell
Esq. Both meetings were attend,
