PRIVATE BUILDING
HERE IN DECEMBER
FAR BELOW 1885
Valuation of Permits for All
Types Last Month Only
$940,475.
AMOUNT $2,455,335
IN PRECEDING YEAR
Decided Drop Attributed Largely
to Number of Unsold
Houses.

Private building operations in Wash
ington during December reached a
valuation of far less than half of ap-
proved construction in the correspond
ing month of 1886, Building Inspector
John w. Oehmann stated today in
making public his monthly report.
The valuation of all types of private
building for which permits were issued
last month is $940,475. Col Oehmann
reported The figure for December
Of the preceding year is $2,455,335.
The decided drop in new building is
attributed to the large number Of
unsold houses now on the local mar
ket. The business recession, which
has cut home building in other large
cities, had some effect here, but is
not considered as intense as else
where.
All types of construction shared in
the December drop. Permits were
issued for only 70 one-family dwell
ings, as compared with 16l in the
corresponding period of 1885, Apart
menu construction showed the g.eatest
slump. Last month 10 were approved,
and these are capable of housing only
40 families. Included in operations of
the previous December were So apart
ments, with a capacity Of 414 fam
lilies.
The valuation of alterations ad-
ditions and repairs, also was we'll be-
low the 1896 figure. Last month such
work reached valuation of S182.52
considerably less than half of the total
for December Of the previous year.
Many Washington builders and real
estate men look upon the decrease in
construction, especially the falling off
OF activity in the residential field, as
healthy sign. 1t will furnish op-
portunity for sales to catch up with
building. they say. "A number of
brokers have reported improvement in
the market in recent weeks, and it is
estimated the current surplus of new
homes will be reduced to a healthy
number by spring.
New building in December by Sec
tions of the city is as follows: North
west. $4,000: Southeast, $780,
Northeast, s98,50O, and Southwest,
$4,000. determination totals; North
west, $145,675; Southeast, $1,000:
Northeast, $23,7O0, and Southwest,
$7,l00.

campaign would be similar to those
which operated successfully in Phila-

merous craftsmen ordinarily are

Theodore I. Coe, who as president
Of the congress presided at this

JUDGE OVERRULES .$lO,OOO DEMURRER
Question of Fathers Re- spOnsibility for Sons
 Actions to Be Argued

Question of a fathers responsibil- ity for a sons actions will be argued in superior court soon as result of a decision handed down today by Judge Frank P. McEvoy overruling a defense demurrer in the $10,000 suit of Paul F. Rechenburg against Arthur Theroux.
 Judge McEvoy's decision, which is believed to be the first one neces- sary in this state in connection with such cases, has been awaited with much interest by members of the bar.
 The defense, in its demurrer, con- tended that the allegation of the plaintiff that the defendant should be held responsible for failure to prohibit and restrict his son from driving his car, did not constitute good and sufficient grounds for such an action. Evidently Judge McEvoy believes the grounds to be sufficient, for he overruled the demurrer.
 Rechenburg is bringing the super for court action against Theroux for injuries he allegedly received when struck by the Theroux car, operated by Gerard Theroux, 16, on April g.,
