High-Heavy Rains
Blamed.

the District dropped OF more than q
half-million dollars during September
in comparison with August, according
to figures released at the office of
Building Inspector John w. Oehmann,
but was greater than In the same
month last year
Oehmann's figures showed there was
total of $727 ,555 in new construction
and repairs for which permits we're
issued in September. The total for
August was s1,372 900, the highest of
the year. In addition. a permit was
issued last month for the Anacostia
Junior High School building, to cost
1890 900.
This falling off of new construction
activity when. according to figures Of
previous years, it should have i'm
proved, was blamed on inclement
weather by real estate men. They
pointed out that rain fell on more than
half of September's days, causing per-
sons who had decided tc build to post
pone operations.

Slightly more than S40l 900 of the
total construction was for new build
ings. while repair work was valued
at $326,0l5, only slightly less than
in August. Fifty-two single-family
houses were to be built, with no multi
family structures listed.
The Northwest section was to re-
ceive S2444 440 of the new building;

proximately $45,000 during the past

pared with about $4,000 last week.
Repairs continued to play an i'm
portant part in lifting the construction
