Permits Issued From the Super
intendent's Office
HOME BUILDERS AT WORK
But the List OF Other Structures Is
Small
Dealers Report Considerable Activity In the
Realty narket-Lis: Of the Sales Re-
ported and improvements In View

During the week ending yesterday thirty
three permits were issued from the Office
Of the superintendent of buildings, the
total estimated cost of the new structures
being S2S,27O. With not single excep-
ton the permits issued were for the cree
ton of new dwelling houses or the repairs
of homes already built, and there is not one
for even moderately large amount. New
buildings to cost $1,000 or more are as fo,-
lows:
Ell. Butterfeld, Alpine, between Hill
and Cleveland streets, $l20o.
F. B. Long, Carondelet, between Will
shere boulevard and Seventh streets
Colerick Brothers, First, near Anderson,
$1,000.
A. M. Rawson, Stevenson, between Hew.
lit and Rio streets, $1,000.
Mrs. T. S. De Mancho, Boyle avenue,
$4,000.
A. and T. Mercer, Pico, between Stan
ford and San Pedro streets. $1,000.
A. j. Irwin, corner Figueroa and Thirty
seventh, $500.
Mary M. Myers, Twenty-third, between
Main and Grand avenue, 1870.
x Coin, Fourth and Alameda, $1,000.
Mrs. P. A, Osborne, Twenty-seventh
street, near Central avenue. S1100.
G. Off, Girard. between Sentons street
and Union avenue, $1,000.
Alice M. Patterson, corner Grand ave-
nue. and Twenty-seventh street, $500.
Gsspar Orena. Flower between Sixth and
Seventh streets, TWO dwellings to cost
$500 each.
The list is a very small one as compared
with operations preceding December last,
but it shows conclusively that the building
pusiness is in the hands of conservative
men who PIT up no more houses than the
demand may be reasonably expected to
fill. The men who took out permits last
week need the houses to live in. and the
fact that no stores were started indicates
an intention to wait the completion of the
large number now more or less advanced
In construction, rather than anticipate the
expected demand.
