geles since January / has issued per-
mits amounting to sa7s,662 more than
those of the city Of Oakland in the
same time. The permits of the south
ern city, however, cover an area OF
IS square miles, while those of this
city cover only Oakland proper. with
out taking into account Berkeley. Ala
media, Piedmont. EmeryviIle and Fruit
vale. The area zof Los Angeles is
more than equal to all these. Hence,
while the permits for Los Angeles have
been s4s,4z0 per mile those In Oak
land per mile have been $1Ss,53s The
growth of Oakland per square mile IS
therefore more than four times that
OF Los Angeles IN building construc-
