1928 D. c. BUILDING
Operations During Year to
Smash Records, Say En-
gineer Estimates.
INCREASE OF S7,OO0,0OO
Inspection Force Augmented as De-
mands for Permits
Grow.
OF S7,OO0,0OO

Building operations in Washington
will reach an aggregate of close to
$42,000.000 during 1928. smashing all
previous records, according to an
estimate of the engineer department.
1t became known today.
II the prediction comes true it will
mean an increase of $1,000, 900 in con-
struction work above the record of
$35, 5,S9S.97S for the current year. Not
all OF this money will be spent on
new projects as a considerable per-
centage Of it represents repairs to
existing buildings.
The total value of building permits
issued in Washington annually has
increased by leaps and bounds since
the war period. In 1917, the year this
country entered the war; building
permits aggregated s15.613.075. Then
followed a slump due to the war re-
strictions placed on non-essential con-
struction work. In 1918 the valua-
ing year there was slight rise again
to $10.50o,s6S.
Value More Than Doubled.
When the year 1920 closed the rec
ords showed that the value Of per-
mts issued had more than doubled,
reaching s22.659,452. In 1921 there
was another slight setback. the total
for that year being $I9.025,291. This
year, however. all previous records
were shattered by the steady flow
into the building office of plans for
new buildings, aggregating more than
S35. 100000.
To meet this rush of work the build
ing office during the past six months
has taken on ten temporary employees
as inspectors and computers. This
was made possible by the granting
of a special appropriation of $4,000
by Congress.
The estimates now before Congress
for the next fiscal year carry an in
crease Of approximately $1.4OO in the
total appropriation for the building
office.
This year the office obtained its
regular allotment of $37.690 and the
additional $4,000 for temporary en-
ployes, making s57.6so. The new esti-
mates recommend $5S.29O, Of which
$4,000 is a lump sum for temporary
employees.
