eight permits were issued, the aggregated
estimated cost of the proposed buildings
being $75, ,2S9. While there are no impos-
ing stores to swell the list, operations are
better distributed than for some weeks

structed during the part OF the year now
past have been built for the most part for
occupancy by owners who have already do.
