MANN REPORTS
 MANY BUILDING
 PERMITS GIVEN
Far from Being at Stand still, Operations Are Mov- ing Rapidly, Particularly With Relation to Con struction of Residences

Building operations are far from be- ing at a standstll if the report of Building Inspector H. J Mann. for the month of September is taken for its real value In that month there were sixty-one permits issued from his of flee (better than two day) Of these permits, twenty were for residences representing a value of 43,640, as indi cated by the approximations submitted to the inspector in applying for per mits to construct.
 The permits for September repre- sented a grand total of $53,1S4. As none of these were for new mercantile buildings, being either for new resi- dences, removals or additions and re- pairs, it is seen clearly that an effort is being made to cope with the ever increasing demand for moderate priced residence buildings. There were five removal permits and thirty six for additions and repairs.
 What is considered victory for the office of Building Inspector Mann is the recent complying of J. H. Will Hams erecting a two story brick room ing house at Sixth avenue and Van Buren street, with the instructions of Mann relative to a revision of the plans for the structure in order to make them in accordance with the. ordinance of the city and the rules of the building department.
 For over year this matter has been hanging fire and there have been many acrimonious encounters. But Mann through it all has endeavored to indicate to the proprietor of the pro- posed structure that there is no inten- ton to be arbitrary except in instances where it is apparent that the best in terests not only of the city but of the owner of the proposed structure him self are to be served in requiring alter ations to a structure under way or re- vision of plans for a structure about to be commenced
 The Williams rooming house to GOV CT an area of 100 feet by 50 feet will when completed, under the revised plans. be one of the most modern and properly constructed buildings of it's kind in Phoenix.
