District struck q new 1884 high dur
ing August, as figures released by
Building Inspector John w. Oehmann
revealed permits for $1,372,3 $40 in new
building and repairs were issued by
his office.
The figure was approximately a half
million dollars above July's total, the
greatest monthly increase in years.
Likewise, 1t was several times larger
than the figure for August of last year.
Both repairs and new building showed
sensational improvement over other
Summer months.
Permits totaled $824,210 in new
building, Of which $426 900 represented
brick dwellings, and $28 900 frame sin
gle dwelling units. Out of the 4S9

| ued at $4,000 and capable of housing
Is families.

| east Washington, with a total of
$254,000, showed the greatest increase
over July. Other figures were for
s71 800 new building in Southeast and
So ZOO in Southwest Washington.
However the value of projected con-
struction slumped heavily during the
past week, examination of the permits
showed. The total of $115,24 for the
week, less than the average for 1884,
was attributed to last Mondays holi-
day.
There were 81 permits granted in
