operations have been confined almost ex-
clusively to the erection of small homes,
and as no more than the usual number of
buildings of this class has been put up, the
lists have been short. The alarmst has
insisted that the lack of activity was
caused by the fact that the city is already
over-built and the staunch believer in
great future for Los Angeles is inclined to
believe that holiday festivities and rainy
weather had put a temporary quietus on
building operations. The list of permits
issued for the week ended last night indi-
Gates that other reasons must be assigned,
for general business is no better. There is
no special increase in the demand for
houses, and no growth of population be-
yond that which has prevailed with great
steadiness for year past. Yet i'll the face
of these facts the number of permits is
sued Jumps from forty to sixty. and the ill.,
crease is made up altogether of houses
owned by capitalists and intended for oc-
cupancy by people other than the owners.
There may be other reasons. but the
chief one lies in the fact that the city and
county assessments of taxes are made OF
property owned on the lst day of March.
and lumber on the ground is very much
more easily discoverabe than money in
the pocket, and consequently the thrifty
builder of houses for rent kept the money
in his pocket until after the day of assess
ment, thereafter proceeding numerously to
present himself at the office of the super
intendent of buildings as an applicant for
a building permit. The accuracy of this
opinion is emphasized by the fact that
the number of modest dwellings built for
their owners occupancy is not largely in

ments built by prudent capitalists who in
cline to be economical about paying taxes
is doubled or quadrupled.
