Realty in Minneapolis

The report of the building inspector S
Office for the first nine months of the year
is very encouraging. A steady growth
in building is shown and the increase over
the entire year of 1900 is not the result
of boom. Up to Oct. 1 permits have
been taken out amounting to $4,S10 900.
The permits in number fell behind the
total for 1900, but expressed in dollars the
gain Is $4,000 thus far. In fact, this
is the best year since the boom days.
Dwelling house permits score especially
high. The real estate agents have been
saying for the last five months that the
demand for property on which to build
small homes was unusual and the figures
from Inspector Houghton's department
verify the statements.
