CONTRACTS FOR

BRINGS RECORD
1.-THE past week was an exception

1.-The past week was an exception
ally good one for my Office, con-
sidering the little that was doing"
is the way that John A. Lindros,
city building inspector, refers to the
weeks activities when only two
building permits were issued, but
the estimate for the new construc-
ton work contracted for reached
100000.
With only two building permits
issued the weeks record, neverthe-
less shows a much larger amount
of money involved than for any 9TH
er week during the past year.
The record was made by the
granting Of the permit to Brissman
& Co., for the erection of the New
Fort Armstrong theatre at an es-
innate cost of 100000 as a begin
ming and with a sub-permits proba-
bly, to follow.
The contractor is constructing
the building for Rosenfield, Hopp &
Co., on the corner of Third avenue
and Nineteenth street.
The only other permit issued dur
ing the past week was one calling
for the expenditure of $4,000 fol
building in two small rooms al
the Thirty-first street Rock Island
depot. The permit was issued te
