ACTIVITY NOTED
in RESIDENCES
More Sales in First Half of
1918 Than Known For Years;
Building Falls Off

| tidu the eIleCJ OF producing the
greatest movement in residential
properties known in real estate cir
lesin this city in many years. 1t
is not confined to the smaller houses.
which have formed the great bulk
of the transactions the last ten
years, but residences of the more ex-
pensive class and even houses in the
business section available for con-
version into apartments have been in
demand.
Observers of real estate in this
| city the last six months declare that
in value of transfers of ownership
and in number of transactions the
record of the first half of 1918 will
probably be unequaled. Some say
that the latter half will be fully as
notable. Harrisburg is undergoing a
| transition such as occurred shortly
after the Spanish war and between
the Capitol Park extension, the ever
growing demand for houses with a
bit of ground about them and the
pushing of business from the three
centers which have been growing up
marked changes will be seen before
peace comes in Europe. The war has
brought recognition of Harrisburg's s
value as a distribution point which
cannot fail to have a great effect
upon the future of this city.
Permits Shrink
Building permits issued during
June at the office of the city build
ing inspector show a big percentage
decrease when compared with the
total cost of operations started in
June, 1917, due to the fact that one
year ago the permit for the Penn
Harris Hotel was issued. adding
S76O,O00 to the total for that month.
Deducting the amount estimated
as the cost for the hotel, permits
were ISSUED for construction work in
June, 1917, to cost $32,S05; while in
the same month this year work cost
ing $2S,S00 was started. The largest
permit of the month was for one
story brick garage at 2209 North
Seventh street, for the Atlantic Re-
timing Company TO cost $11, 900.
The week ending to-day set an
other low mark, seven permits be-
ing issued. The remodeling work
and small garages which are to be
built will cost $1.2S0.
