SPOKANE
BUILDS
PERMITS IN Two-THIRDS OF A
MONTH AMOUNT TO TWO
THIRDS OF A MILLION DOL
LARS.

Spokane building permits for April,
even before the month is past, have
reached the enormous figures of $685.
210. This surpasses any month in the
year by over 100000. over $50 per-
mits were issued by the board Of
public works.
In the month of March about the
same number were issued, but the
aggregate in dollars was far below
the present month. The largest per-
init for the month was issued to the
Gonzaga college. The permit was
issued for an addition to the college
and called for an expenditure OF
$250,000. Eleven permits were is
sued for buildings for $4,000 or
over.
Many of the proposed buildings are
large flats. One of these, on the cor
ner of Riverside avenue and Sprague
avenue calls for $4,000. This apart
ment house 1t is said will be one of
the finest west of Chicago. Several
permits were issued for warehouses
along the Northern Pacific tracks,
and a few were for downtown office
buildings and lodging houses.
During the month of March permits
were issued aggregating $4,000.
These figures surpassed those of Ia
coma by several thousand dollars. If
reports from the Sound city do not
show larger increase for April,
Tacoma will have to admit that she
Is the third city In the state.
