weather, there has been a noticeable
increase in the volume Of real estate
! business, dealers report, and the clos
/ ing of numerous transac tions which
have been holding out during the warm
er months. Nearly all the dealers re,
port considerable activity, although
the unsettled conditions Immediately
preceding the presidential election have
acted slightly to retard the movement.
Building operations are apparently
booming. with indications that there
will be no decrease for the present, al
! though the reports of the building in
spector show that the year 1908 is far
ahead of the entire year of 1907. 1t is
| expected that the total value of per
/ mits for this year will show an in
crease of more than 100 per cent over
fact that the larger proportion OF per
mits taken out are for homes costing
between $2500 and $4,000, indicates that
| there has been no retarding of pros
| perity here. There are number of no.
table exceptions to this rule, however,
especially in the case of the new Ore
gon Short Line, depot, the extensive
way company between Sixth and
Seventh East and Fifth and Sixth
South, which will include handsome car
! barns, costing Sl42 900; the new the
/ alter of the Auerbach company and q
number of large warehouses. Few OF
, these buildings will cost more than
! 100000, however and many Of them
run only about $4,000 These things
are an excellent indication Of the usual
activity that has characterized the city
| during the past nine months.
