BUILDING BOOM
 |S EXPANDING
More Permits Granted in June than Any Month
 This Year. Many Busi- ness Properties and Lodg- ing Houses Among Them

The report of the city building in spector, J M. Creighton, for the month of June is in full accord with all the optimistic views one hears eX- pressed respecting the future of PhOe- nix. It shows az reater building ac- tivity than June of last year natural ly aS the whole year has shown an increase but it also shows d greater amount of building than the other months of this year thus far The best feature of the report is in the nature of the buildings under way or soon to be erected There is a great CT percentage of business property and lodging houses than heretofore.
 It is of common knowledge that there has been more building in the past year than ever and with the eX- ceptiOn of here and there d business property they have been residence buildings. This was all right for Phoenix has never had enough houses to rent except perhaps during the summer season when many left their homes for a period but the fact that most of the last years building was of that sort, has led some people to fear that home properties would be oVer-supplied while the business part of the city did not expand It is fighting itself very nicely, however Phoenix needs more houses of all kinds and is going to get them.
 During the last month twenty eight building permits were issued, the value of the proposed buildings being ap- proXimately $4S,0O0. Of the twenty eight one is a lodging house to be built by Victor Seinegger at a cost of $55O0 another is the w. B. Lount property at First and Van Buren that will be fitted for either business or lodgings and a tWelve-roOm lodging house to be built by R. w. Wakefield on lot in Bennett Place in Bennett addition to cost about $55OO Then there is the Charles DOnofrio build ing on Central avenue, for which the cellar is now being eXcavated, to cost about 5000. George Kettner is also l to build a SiX-rOom residence to cost $2500. And the prospects for next
 month, says the building inspector, are still better. Summer has always been regarded as the building season in
 Phoenix though the past year or so
 it has been an unbrOken building sea . | son.
 l In respect of business property it is noted that there are few if any vacant stOreroOms right now in midsummer and there is considerable demand Naturally everybody desires to get as
 close to the center of town as pos
 sible but not all can be in one place
 and it is noted with pleasure that
 the business district is rapidly widen | ing.

Goethe's Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from Bodies
book on Goethe, appears in Paris
contemporary. In August, 1918, Goe
the went to Carlsbad for the cure, and
placed himself under the care Of DR.
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
he requested Charles, his domestic, tc
place bottle of red wine and glass
in each of the two windows in the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink glass of wine
When he had nearly emptied the b
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah," sail
Goethe, ''you are come. Do you know
it is my birthday" NO." said the
doctor, "it is not your birthday. II
falls tomorrow"
Only the production of the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning. When he
discovered his mista}se he gave vent
to strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth of Capt. Manly
Ewart, and, after long pause, turn
ing to the doctor, said: "Then have
got drunk for nothing"

this magnificent scenic boulevard from
Harbor View through the military res
prvation at the Presidio. where the gov
nrnment is planning wonderful mill
