mated to cost $10.ss6. The record
for the week previous was IL per-
nits for work estimated to cost
only $1,612. The recovery during
the last week, however, was not
on a scale to lead to a feeling of
optimism.
Considerable work this year has
been given to erecting, remodeling
and repairing residences, but as
new residences are a special need
the general backwerdness of con-
struction activities is not adding

up at a good pace, eight permits
having been issued during the last
