APRIL BUILDINGS
HIGHEST THIS YEAR
$4,000 for Month Nearly
as Much as Entire First
Quarter 1893

Permits for new building amounting
to $4,000 were issued during the
month of April by Fire Chief e. T.
Shepherd he said today. The figure
is the most for any month of 1898
SO far, and nearly twice rs much as
for the first three months of the year
confined There we're three permits,
one for residence and the other two
business properties.
In April ;ast year the record was
precisely the same, with $4,000 Of
new building authorized in three per-
mits. In March this year the total
was $3.50 in five permits. For the
four months of 1888 so far total per-
mits are IA, with aggregate valuations
of $28, 250. For the first four months
cf 1887 permits issued numbered nine
for construction work valued at $751;
900. This years total is a trifle less.
but greater building activity was seen
in a large number of projects.
Two permits were issued to 0. T.
Kirkland, one for erection of a filling
station on the Raleigh road at the in
tersection of the Southern Railway,
for $4,000, and the other for a filling
station property at the corner of
Montgomery and Court streets.
The other permit of the month was
to Mrs. E. C. Faris for construction
of a residence on Gholson avenue, for
Sc, 500.
