p(OALWdIely QOuUle LIle lOtdl lOI ldSt
week and, exclusive of Government
building, was the largest this year,
according to figures obtained from
the District Building.
The weekly figures gave more prom
ise for revival In the building and
construction industry than has been
noted for months. The increase was
hailed as highly significant that this
major industry, improvement in which
is so vital to the cause Of general
economic recovery, was pulling from
the grip of depression that has held
1t for several years.
The increase in projected construc-
ton was apparently along the entire
price range, but particularly so in the
more moderately priced home field.
Building of more expensive homes
apparently remained without much
improvement.
Eighty-nine Permits
A total of 80 permits for new con-
struction and renovation were issued
during the week, an increase OF about
10 over the previous week.
The largest single item was the
building under construction at Thir-
teenth and F street, a three-story
structure for stores and Offices, to cost
Sl25OOO. The permit was issued to
the Northern Trust Co. as trustees.
