BUILDING PERMITS
REACH TOTAL OF III.
Valuation of $1,000 Is
Smallest Amount in
Months.

Building and repair activities in
Washington during the past week. as
sauged by permits issued at the Dis
trict Building, were characterized by
the largest number of permits and
the smallest total amount Of valua-
tion that has been recorded in
months.
The office of Building Inspector
John w. Oehmann showed that Ill
permits were issued during the week,
an increase of about 80 over the total
for the last week However, building
valuation represented by the permits
was only sl10,070, about a third of
the value of last weeks permits.
The weeks activity was marked by
the great number of modernization
and expansion permits granted, and
by the scarcity of new building, eS-
pecially in the higher priced homes
class. It was estimated that about
90 of the permits this week were for
some change or repair work to ex-
isting structures, rejecting the good
effect of the Federal housing cam
paign in the city.
