for Farleys confirmation, but will
accept the Senate verdict, and pro-
coed with the appointment OF a new
chairman Of the board as soon as the
Senate acts. Meanwhile, Farley will
continue as chairman.
President Coolidge also has with
drawn the nominations of Frederick
!. Thompson, of Alabama, and Bert
Haney, of Oregon, members of the
board, as a consequence OF the Sen
ate'S action on Farley. They
were likewise recess appointments.
Whether their names will be re.

will proceed to the appointment of
two new members in their stead,
could not be learned today.

NEW BUILDINGS
IN ONE MONTH
Unofficial Report Shows
Decided Decrease as Com
pared With August. t
FILE SIS DEEDS
Trading Not as Active and
Only 1888, 465 in Prop |
erty Is Sold. II

In spite Of the general decrease II
new building throughout San Antonio
in September an approximate total
of 325 building permits were issued
for new construction to cost S467 $50.
This is a conservative estimate and
is unofficial, as the building inspec-
tors monthly report will not be coms
piled until Monday. October. /. Real
estate trading in Bexar county also
showed q slight decrease during
September when compared with the
prior month when~55S deeds were
filed representing the same number
of deals made involving 1888, 465.
According to Gus Niggli, city builds
ing inspector, a marked decrease was
noticed in new building in practically
every line for the month of Septems
Der. The slump was especially an~
parent in the construction of homes
The fact that the majority of the
large home builders here are reported
to have a number of houses unsold.
probably is the reason for the general
decrease in new home construction.
More Building Permits.
Although the amount of new conS
struction in August was several thou-
sand dollars greater than that OF
September. the total number of build
ing permits issued during September
exceeded that Of the prior month by
nearly 100.
Real estate trading in August ex-
ceeded that of September considerable.
In August n total of $50 deeds were
filed representing property valued at
S1.714,000 while in September only
55S warranty deeds were filed on
property valued at S9SS,465.
The third week of September was
the largest for new building. 1t was
during this week that the San An
tonic Board Of Education took out
three building permits to construct
additions \ to school buildings. at a
total cost of approximately $4,000,
boosting the total at the end of the
week TO S1S1,20J.
Eighty-four People Build.
The fourth week was also a good
one for new building when ~ per-.
mits were issued for new construction
to cost 1852, 160. During the j last
week Of the month a total of 81
people applied to the building in
Spector for permission to construct
new buildings at a cost of Sis, $40.
The last week of the month was
also good one for real estate trad
ing as 1856 transfers were made in-
volving property worth S343.927. This
was one of the largest weeks OF the
month, and was especially Indicative
of active trading for with only one
or two exceptions the majority OF
deals were around the average of be-
tween $500 to $1,000. &ss

Strauss and COMPANY is the first tc
construct an office building higher
than 400 feet here without n special
ordinance passed by the city council.
The new Strauss building of 50 stories

Only one building up to this time has
exceeded the 400 feet in height the
Chicago Temple bnilding. the tower OF
which reaches 556 feet skyward. n
height made possible by the special
ordinance granted by the city council
because of the exceptional nature o.
the tower structure. Under the pres
emit ordinance. there is practically nc
limitation on the height of office build
ings and architects claim that with III"
present ordinance, the towers Of CHI
cago's office buildings may 90 1000
feet in height. The question Of HEIGHT
is limited by the size of the lo' and tn"
cubical content of the building. A
tower may be one-sixth the total con-
tent of the building. and thu base ol
the tower shaft may be one-fourth Of
the lot area.
1t has been predicted that within
few years New York will have a sky
scraper 1000 feet tall. and now such
an inward attainment within the ncy'
decade or so is possibility for ca
