INCREASE IN BUILDING
LARGE FOR SIX MONTHS
Twenty-four Cities Expended Enor-
nous Total Of S275,ooo,oOO for
First Half Of Year.

Building for the first half of the year
IN the larger cities shows a very sat
isfactory increase over the correspond
ing period a year ago. During the first
six months. according 20 official reports
10 Construction News, permits were tax
en- out for buildings to cost $275, ,625, ,437
against S24I. .695. .691. for the correspond
ing period a year ago. an increase of
Nl325,1i6. or II per cent. From a glance
at the enormous totals one can appre-
ciate the Importance of the building in
dustry Of the country. There is scarce
~ anything remarkable about the re-
port other than that it should be a
source Of great satisfaction 10 know
that St shows a gain over what was.
prior 10 this, the most prosperous build
ing season in the history OF the coun-
try
out OF twenty-four cities only five
show decreases and these We're not Of
great moment. The increases run up to
as high as 55 per cent The most signif-
cant Increases were in Buffalo and At
Ianta. each IS per cent. although the
volume IN Atlanta was nothing like that
of Buffalo. Detroit and Omaha each
showed an increase of IS per cent. but
in Detroit the volume of building oper-
ations was almost three times greater.
Building continues active in all sec
tiOns. There are many new and hither-
TO almost obscure communities which
are making up for the falling off. if
there is such a thing. in the cities in
which building has been active for so
long. There Is no indication of a let
up other than that which comes between
seasons when il is too late to begin
building for fan occupancy and too
early TO build for spring renting. Alto
gether the situation is satisfactory.

The Washington times., 1906-07-15

The march OF improvement follows the
extension OF the street car service. This
is a truism so fully proved that the
simple introduction Of bill chartering
a new trolley line is usually followed by
a rapid building up of the section
through which the road IS scheduled to
pass.
Much more then is to be expected IN
a city where the further extension of
the tracks of a local road into the out
lying district brings the section into
closer communication with the heart of
The business center.
This has been amply developed IN the
several extensions made by local street
car companies and in no case more ex-
tensIvely than by the continuation OF
the road out Eleventh street from Flor
ida avenue TO the present terminus Of
the line at Monroe street on Columbia
Heights.
1t Will be remembered that several of
the city streets running north ended at
the boundary, as it was long called and
in the case of Eleventh street was
stopped by a high hill. on which several
handsome residences We're owned by
well-known citizens of the District.
After years Of endeavor Congress was
persuaded 20 pass a bill extending the
street on TO the new section beyoid, and
less than two years ago operations were
completed ana the street thrown open
TO public use. The AnacOstia and PO-
t0mac branch Of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company promptly
took advantage of the opportunity for
reaching ont IN the new territory and
extended their lines fully a mile be
yond their old terminus at Florida
avenue
Building Up Rapidly.
The rapidity with which the section
50 promptly provided with excellent
facilities OF transportation has been
builded upon IS little short Of marvellous
and within the short period since the
Improvement was completed the street
has been provided with rows Of houses
Of excellent character besides numer-
Gus single ones that viii provide homes
Tor many OF our citizens, in addition 70
materially adding to the taxable values.
Not only has Eleventh street been
wonderfully improved, but those paral-
lelIug il on either side, besides all of
the interesting streets, have found ia
vor with builders and home-seekers. and
several hundred new houses represent
the result.
Agents who have had these various
houses for sale uT rent report the de-
mand as being extremely active, and ia
the case of the row situated between
Columbia road and Irving street eleven
out OF the twelve were disposed OF
through the Office of Moore s. Hiu, Inc,
before they We're completed. The same
may be said OF the row on Monroe
street, which was begun and finished in
anticipation Of the coming of the rail-
road.
Many Apartment Houses.
Apartment houses have also crept into
the new section. and while there are no
large ones. there are a number OF small
or size. which are reported as meeting
a good demand for dwellings of that
class. Those now built OF in course of
erection are furnished with all the
modern requirements, and the fact that
they are we'll located on high ground
and have every convenience Of quick
transit facilities make them naturally
