Outside of issuing a few per mits for various small repair jobs Building Inspector Axel Johnson was kept idle by the absence of { building spurt.
 During the month of September work began to pick up considerabl, and MT. Johnson was fairly busy This proved to be only temporar, boom. however. as October witness ed a return to the poor condition! of the summer months. With onl! a little over week remaining il the month. MT. Johnson reports tha things are extremely quiet and dull | November and December are al ways recognized as poor months fol building operations, so that unless work picks up considerably within the next few weeks the figures fol 1880 will be very low in comparison with those of 1929 and previous years.
