MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE
Permits This Year Already Exceed Last
Year by 5000 0

Comparative fisurs compiled by Clerk
Byrne in the Office of the Building In.
spector show that UP TO the present
time this year the total of building
permits in Richmond exceeds the total
for the corresponding period of last
year by 100000. With the large
buildings already in sight, some of
which are under contract, but on which
the plans have not been approved by
the Building Inspector, it is believed
that the total of building operations
will easily exceed the total of last
year by a million dollars; and it should
be remembered that last year broke
all previous records in the history OF
the city. and was, up to that time, the
banner year.
