tain Pace.

according to records in the once OF
building Inspector John w. Oeh-
mann. Permits we're issued for $780,
259 in new building and repairs.
The valuation of the weeks con-
struction registered slight gain over
the total for last week-$181, ,000-and
was far in advance Of the total for
the similar period in 1893. Permits
for modernization work comprised the
greater portion Of the l02 issued in
the six-day period.
While exact figures were not avail
able for the October total of copstruc-
ton valuation, real estate men de-
clared it was the most active Fall
month of the past several years. They
attributed this to a combination OF
good building weather, a generally
improved real estate market, and the
Federal Housing Administrators S
modernization program.
