HOME BUILDERS ARE ACTIVE
But There Is Very Little Doing in Other
Lines
The Real Estate Market Moderately Active,
With Good Demand for Home Lots.
Some Sales Reported

record breaker in the smallness of the
amount invested. During the week 45
permits were issued from the office of
the city superintendent of buildings,
and of this number only one, the dwell
ing to be erected by the ST. Joseph's
Catholic Beneficial society represents
an outlay of $4,000, and there is no build
ing in the list costing more.
This is only another way, however, of
saying that all the buildings to be erect
ed under permits issued during the past
week and by far the larger proportion
of those issued during the month are
homes. And as the average cost of the
buildings is not far from $1,000, it will
readily be seen that the people who are
building homes are of the provident and
moderately prosperous class, which is
most to be desired in the makeup Of q
growing city.
