ter OF house building since January /,
1894, is simply phenomenal, when ths
cry of depressed times all over the
country is taken into consideration.
The City of the Angels ia rapidly ex-
psnding, but there are few Angelefios
who realize that the records of the Office
Of the city building inspector demon-
citrate that for every day that has
dawned since January 1st an average OF
four and one-half houses have been
built. On Saturday 200 house building
permits was the record shown on the
books, representing an outlay OF over
100000 The beat feature about this
remarkable building development 10 that
the great bulk of this money has been
expended on houses ranging in price
from $1,000 to 5000. sure indication
that people with moderate incomes ara
in position to make an outlay for
homesteads. The steady average which
has been maintained is tv pica OF tho
solid growth OF the city. The month OF
April was q marked month Ia tho mat.
