PERMIT TO ERECT
BIG WAREHOUSE
Will Be Leased by Mont
gomery Company From
Donald Mccormick

Further evidence of unusual Spring
activity in the realty and building
world developed in the office of the
building inspector to-day when the
$4,000 permit to erect the new Mont
gomery and Company warehouse in
South Tenth street near Market was
taken out.
The structure will be one of the
most modern of its kind in this sec
ton of the State. 1t will be of brick,
Tour stories in height and will be
equipped with all the modern safety
devices for prevention of fire, etc.
The structure will front "a feet in
Tenth street and will have a depth of
Ill feet
w. S. Miller will be the contractor
and he has planned to begin work at
once. Donald Mccormick obtained
the permit and will lease the structure
TO the Montgomery company.
While the week just closing has
been fairly busy week in building
circles, the biggest single permit per-
maps, was the Mccormick venture.
Most of the other permits were for
dwellings,, garages, etc. However, the
Warehouse job will give the March
record wonderful boost.
With the approach of April /,
realty men and contractors through
out the city are preparing for the an
nual property changes and the county
recorders office is clearing decks for
action. Scores of transfers are al
ways recorded around about April l
late years from the first of the year
TO April /.
incidentally some of the big devel-
opments will be well unTNr way by
April 1. Apartment house modelling,
Vulnerable alteration jobs will begin
about that time.
The remodeling of the Roumfort es-
tate property at Fourth and Chestnut
streets into what will probably be one
of the city's largest store room and
apartment houses is one of the big
jobs that has been planned for early
in April. Work will also be started
about April l on the Tausig property,
43O Market street which is to be re-
modelled at cost of some $780, for
the new Salkin subway department
store.
