Start Of the Federal housing cam
paign was felt in big way by Wash
fngton's building business during the
last week as figures released at the
District Building revealed one Of the
busiest periods in months in regard
to number and value of building per-
fnits issued.
A total Of i02 permits for noderni-
cation and new construction were
granted, the largest in recent months.
These represented total construc-
ton value of $343,613, regarded as
about the most impressive figure, ex-
cluding public buildings Of the year.
That F. H. A. activities had great
bearing on the near record total was
established by the fact that SO per-
mits were for repairs and remodelling
work. This number was about as
large as last weeks total number of
permits that includes new building.
Many of this weeks permits ranged
from 5000 to $4,000, the size of
modernization covered by Govern
ment backed loans.
