Building Permits Reveal
Drop of $4,000 During
Past Week.

Building activity during the past
week, as gauged by permits issued at
the District Building, showed a decline
of about $4,000 in valuation from last
week, but the total of $130,000 was
almost equal to the average figures in
recent months.
New construction continued to lag
behind figures for the past Spring and
Summer Work in the renovation, ad-
dition and repair fields continued to
equal new building in total valuation.
A large percentage of the permits is
sued was for this type of work. Build
ing experts attributed this fact to the
success of the Housing Administra-
tion's modernization drive here.
The largest permit issued during the
week went to D. c. Gruver, Offices in
the Investment Building, for construc-
ton of six 2-story brick dwellings at
2314-24 Thirty-ninth street at cost
of S32, 500. George T. Santmyers is
