Those timid citizens who fear that Los
Angeles is in danger of becoming over
built will look with little satisfaction on
the list of permits issued during the
week ended last night for the number
is very nearly equal to that registered
during the busiest week of the early
fall, when ten new houses per day
aroused fears that the incoming popula-
ton would be sheltered and still leave
many houses tenantless. A large ma
jority of the list, as has been the case
for months past, is made up of dwelling
houses, and while the usual number are
to be constructed for occupancy by the
owners. larger proportion than com
| mon are substantial cottages built for
rent. There is also good representa-
ton of store buildings, some of them of
| large proportions, though there are
none equal to the best buildings already
erected. Noticeable among the i'm
provements to be devoted to renting pur-
poses are those to be erectd on the Gas
| par Orena property, on Sixth street.
! between Hope and Flower streets, which
| has lain idle most of the time for the
| past fifteen years, sections of it having
been intermittently used for baseball
| grounds or haymarket At the north
| east corner of the tract is substantial
brick foundation which was a familiar
| landmark to the inhabitant of bygone
years This foundation is now to be
| utilized, as the Alta Planning Mill COM
! pany has entered into contract with
Senor Orena for the erection upon it of
| a two-story brick building to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. On the same
! tract, on the Hope street frontage, is to
| be constructed a row of frame cot
| tages, ten in number, and to cost $500
each.
| In other respects the weeks building
| operations are scattered over the city.
! no special attention being given to any
| locality. There is but very small
number of very cheap houses, and no
very expensive ones, prices ranging from
| $1,000 to $4,000, with the average cost close
to $780,
