The builders of Los Angeles evidently
made something of effort during the
week ended yesterday, for though they
did not break the record they made a
near.a pproach to it. Eighty-two bu ilding
permits for the erection of new buildings
were issued during the week, the total
estimated cost of ne new structures being
Sis 800.
The permits. as usual, cover build
ings OF all sorts, tor all sorts of purposes,
but there are no really high class busi-
ness buildings in the list. The one rep
rcsenting the largest outlay of money Is
the DR.. Edgar Duilding. to be erected op.
poslte the city bail On Broadway. 1t is o
be two-story brick and vii! cost SIC, 900,
and this block is the lonely representa-
tive OF buildings intended for stores for
which permit was issued during theweek.
Public buildings in general seemed to be
neglected in the rush to get homes ready
for occupancy. The NJ. Il. chu rch, south.
took out a permit Tor the erect on of IL
church. to be built ON Grand avenue, be-
tween Eighth and Ninth street, and the
Boyle Heights fresbyterians made SINH
lar preparations for the erection of a
Methodists will invest $500 in their ed-
flee and the Presbyteria;,s $500.
The Moiave River Ltme company was
given permit to erect three story lodg-
ing house On Hill street, between Fourth
and Fifth streets, to cost So 900, and o.
W. Childs is preparing to invest $1,000 in
flats to be constructed on Santee street,
between Twelfth ana Pco streets.
OF all the long 5list of permits issued
there was none. except those mentioned
which were not given II builders OF
homes, of which class of structures there
are some of high cost ana many involving
more modest expenditure.
Hulda Behrendt will build a two-story
dwelling on Grand avenue, between
Tenth and Eleventh streets, to cost $6500,
which is the most expensive dwelling for
which a permit was issued during the
week, though there are others which do
not fall far short of that sum- Mrs f.
B. Harrington took out a permit for the
building of a wo-stury residence on the
corner OF Westlaka avenue and Eleventh
street, which will cost S620O and Mrs.
c. NJ White took the preliminary steps
to the construction of a home on the
northeast corner OF Grand avenue and
Twenty-tourth street, to cost $500. Mrs.
Martha o'Hara was given a permit to
erect $500 dwelling at 1915 West Sew
enth street, and James a. Hellman will
build two-story residence on Hope
street near Sixteenth, to cost $4,000.
The permits not specially mentioned
were for the most part issued to builders
OF homes ranging in price from $500
down, and, as heretofore has been the
case, inquiry develops the fact that many
of the owners are newcomers and still
more are building homes for their own
occupancy.
This weeks wOrk,as represented by the
building permits issued is very salts
factory one. showing, first. that the city
is growing RAPIDLY. and second, that it is
growing symmetrioally. in that the build
ing is done not by capitalists gone house
c-azy, but by conservative citizens who
know the use to which the new buildings
are to be put, and who. while occupying
these new homes, will steadily develop
the business OF the community.
