BUT few PERMITS
ISSUED IN APRIL
Poor Building Season Is Indi-
Gated by Monthly Report of
the Inspector.

According to the monthly report of
the building inspection department OF
the city government, only one-half as
many permits for buildings were is
sued during April this year as during
the same month in 1913.
The total cost of building contracted
for in Moline during the month just
passed, according to Building Inspect
or Woods report, is s6S,452.
During the same time last year per-
mits were issued for building totaIing
in value S14O,939, more than twice
as much as 1914. The same discrep-
ancy is shown in the number of per-
mits issued, there being only SO this
year and almost double that number
last year.
Residences contracted for during
the past month are to cost Sable
and there are IS of them. 1t is in this
class of buildings that the difference
over last year is especially noted. In
April of last year permits were issued
for residences totaling in value, $780,
319. or more than the entire total per-
mits of both residence and other build
ing this year.
Last years record was given a de-
cided boost by the erection of the
Jamison laundry at a cost of S25, 200.
Permits for April, 1914, include, in
to the Is residences. II for re-
modelling residence. two additions to
office buildings, five garages, one laun-
dry, two barns, two remodeled mer-
camille houses and Is heating uer-
mits.

The boy has led an unfortunate ex-
