As reported to The American Con-

m4ts Issued during 1921 is 5s8.75s.
In the Identical 49, cities during

sued. In 1874 cities during 1919. there
were only 41s.ss7 permits issued.
The total estimated valuation of
the permits issued during 1921 Is

same cities, the valuation was 1,45s,-
$50. e23. and during 1919 In 1874 cities
the valuation was s1.42s.423.ss3.
These figures show that 1921 regis
tiers a gain of II per cent over 1890
and slightly more over. 1919. This
idea of gain Is strengthened when
1t 10 considered that the cost Of con-
sstruetion has bsen,.materiaify lower

II. Is also to be noted that during
the early months Of 1890 and the
later months Of 1913 many contracts
were cancelled.
The following tabulation Of per-
|mits shows that the average valua-

than in any of the other past war
years compared:
