Nine-Month Record
Set Here in Permit
Authorizations

All construction permit records
for the Washington Metropolitan
Area were broken during the first
nine months of this year, a COM
pilation based on permits issued
in six political subdivisions within
the area disclosed today.
/ Charles j. Rush, executive sec
rotary of the Washington Real
Estate Board, reported that his
records for the nine month pc
Rod show permits were issued
authorizing construction of 26,360
dwelling units with a permit value
of s157, 420,443.
This was in contrast to permits
authorizing building of 1871
units at a cost of $108, 105,886 dur
ing the corresponding period in
l948, and 1857 units costing
SCI ,525.95o in the similar period
in 1941.
The relatively lower permit
value for the units authorized in
1941 reflects the upward change
in building cost when compared
with figures for postwar years.
This years first nine months
also set a new record for apart
ment units authorized. This years
program so far includes 19,647
apartment units, in contrast to
1858 in the similar period in l948
and to $3.50 in the corresponding
period in 1941.
In comparing the number OF
single family units authorized
however. this years total so fal
only slightly exceeds last years
number. and falls behind the
number authorized in 1941. The
