PRIVATE BUILDING
CONTINUES TREND
UPWARD|NCAP|TAL
Permits Valued at $2,112,-
O85 Issued in March, In
crease Over 1885.
NEW HOME MARKET
SHOWS GREAT ACTIVITY
Northwest Section of City Leads
With Construction Valued
at 1,131 900.
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

The Capitals advance in private
construction was continued in March
when permits were issued for S2,ll2,085
in new building and modernizatlon
work, an approximate increase OF 28
per cent over the corresponding month
of 1885, according TO the monthly re-
port of Building Inspector John w.
Oehmann, released today.
Meanwhile, a survey of the leading
real estate brokerage firms revealed a
very active market for new residences.
Sales of one-family dwellings were
apparently being made at a rate
greater than construction. Brokers
were disposing of properties that were
held during the Winter when severe
weather conditions kept realty trans
fers almost at standstill. The Spring
market was declared to be the best
since pre-depression days. The rental
situation remained favorable" for new
building and sale of homes, with prob
ably less than l per cent of such resi-
Dental space unoccupied.
Small Apartments Popular.
Col. Oehmann's report for March
showed that permits were issued for
142 one-family dwellings, valued at
1898, 900. The erection of small apart
ments and fats continued at fast
pace and permits were granted for Al
such structures, having a capacity OF
249 families. Apartment construction
in March was valued at S596,800 VAL
uation of all types of construction last
month was 100000 greater than Feb
ruary this year and approximately
S500,000 more than March, 1885.
The valuation of permits for altera-
lions, additions and repairs to exist
ing structures, issued during March
was $303,620, nearly 100 per cent in
crease over last year.
Northwest Leads City.
AS usual the Northwest section of
the city led all others with a new
building valuation of S1,131 900, but
the months report showed an I'M
usual awakening of construction in the
Northeast and Southeast sections. Per-
mits were granted for S344,S00 in new
building in Northeast Washington
and 1929, 1855 in the Southeast section.
There wes virtually no activity in
Southwest. In modernization work
Northwest also led with a valuation
total of $220,530, as compared with
S34,850 in Southwest: S25,670 in
Northeast, and $25,670 in Southeast
Washington.
In regard to home financing, the
Washington Office of the Federal
Housing Administration reported &C
tivity in Government-insured mort
cages greater than at any time since
passage of the national housing act.
The local F. H. A. Office was swamped
with inquiries regarding its financing
plan and was experiencing no diff

On this, something like relief
flickered in Vests eyes but it was
of short duration. This Young was
not the sort of man who fees in
the face of as flimsy charge as
had been placed against him. He
had hoped at the most to keep Ker-
ry in safe confinement until Bridg-
er and the prosecutor could perfect
a case against Holt Stuart which
would forever remove from his own
breast those cancerous fears. But
now
Gone, eh?" he muttered. "Well,
you've been made a monkey of by

But the laws with the coroner ="
ITO hell with the law. :"
They argued aimlessly at length
and when Bridger was gone Tod
West paced the room and that fine
beading of sweat pricked out on his
forehead again. He felt Gagged,
trapped, and yet he could touch no
