INCREASE IN VALUE
OF BUILDERS WORK

for building purposes, while $146.5O2 was
for repair work For new buildings
June. 1903. showed more than twice as
much as the same month of the proced-
ing year. while in repairs # showed an
increase Of only $4,000.
Average Cost of Dwellings.
\ curious and almost contradictory
fact in connection with this years
building operation IS that the average
cost Of dwellings this year does not ap-
pear TO be as great as that Of the
previous year. while the cost OF building
materials and labor has materially in
creased. The figures for June. 1903
show that the 146 brick dwellings are
expected to cost S527;471. or an average
of about $3.50. In June. 1902, permits
were issued for II brick dwellings to
cost S4l7.772. an average of about So, 500
each The same decreased average is
shown throughout the entire year though
to much less marked degree than for
the month OF June alone.
The reasons assigned by "a Building
Department official for the great in
crease In permits and work for the
month OF June is the desire on the part
of prospective builders to get their per-
mits fled before the new building regu-
latons governing party" walls go into
effect. This new regulation viii require
an Increase in the thickness Of walls af-
ter July 8. and therefore, the fling OF
permits before that date will not sub
tect the builders TO its requirements.

parent boon" condition Of the whole
