Full details on building statistics for
the month Of March were not obtain
able at the office Of Mr.. Backus, the
chief inspector of buildings, Saturday
afternoon, for the reason that all Of
Saturdays business was to be added
to the tabulated report. Mr.. Backus
stated that the official tabulation would
not be ready for the press until Mon
day
Only the aggregate figures for March
were to be had. During the month
655 building permits were granted, au-
thorizing improvements valued at
81, ,213,S31. thus confirming the early
estimate that March would line up as
one of the million dollar months. The
figures show that building activity is
on the increase. The prevailing fine
weather is a large factor In the i'm
proved conditions. With the cessation
of rain many improvements that have
been held back for settled conditions
will be commenced, carpenters will be
in increased demand, and the painters
will be abroad in the city to brighten
up and decorate the homes of the
people.
