BUILDING PERMIT.
INCREASE SHOWN
Gain of $4,000 Recorded in
Week Despite Effect OF
Holiday.

The building construction industry
here showed rapid strides toward re-
covery during the past week when,
despite the Independence day holiday,
building permits issued at the Dis
trict Building showed an increased
valuation of $4,000 over last week.
Figures at the Office of the District
building inspector showed that per-
r1itS issued during the week repre-
sented more than $224,000 in new
building and renovation work, COM
pared with a value of S15s,0o0 for the
previous period.
Residences Increase.
A majority of the additional per-
mits given out were for residential
building. Experts of the construction
industry were of the opinion that the
city was beginning to feel the bene-
fetal effects of the housing bill passed
near the end of the last Congress.
This legislation was hailed in real
estate circles as the shot in the arm"
needed by the industry to start a
business revival.

during the week went to Brown Bros,

ton of seven 2-Story brick dwellings
