BUILDING BOOM DOES NOT LET
 UP IN PHOENIX
While First Week of De cember Does Not Bring Out Many Permits An nouncement of New Of flee Structure is Made.

1 While the past week did not bring forth many new building permits, the week was not lacking in importance in building circles for there came an an- nouncement of the transfer of some of the most valuable downtown property and the making public of the plan to erect thereon one of the largest and best appointed office buildings in this city. That work will begin not later than the first of the new year was also announced
 The proposed new building is to oc- cupy the site embraced in the property adjoining the present site of the city ticket office of the Santa F'e, Prescott & Phoenix railroad and will extend to the alley about seventy feet north. The entire property is the present site of several one story structures on North | Central avenue and is directly oppo site the main entrance to the Hotel Adams.
 Should the permit for this building be taken out before January l, the amount involved will at once place the record for the valuation represented in the permits issued will at once mount beyond the $1,5OQ,000 mark predicted several days ago by the Republican. Just what figure will be estimated as the probable cost of the proposed struc- ture is not given nor has it been defin- itely decided with relation to the mum ber of stories. As announced previ- ousIy the foundations will be construct ed to carry an eight story building and from four to six of these stories will be constructed immediately.
 The construction of residences in Phoenix goes ahead without abatement It is estimated that buildings of this class are being started at the rate of about one and one half each day. Were it possible to include those started just outside the city limits proper and which are really a part of the city's develop ment that average would be consider ably increased.
 Two handsome residences are well under way on West Washington street for Adolph and Charles A. Tribo1et. Each is to cost approximately S2,700 and are after plans drawn by Architect Howard B Claflin. The cement foun- dations and the walks about the build ings are being constructed by w. c.
