With a total of $197,564 for the last month, accumulated construc» tion valuations for the 12â€"month period hit $2,009,464, compared with $1,770,817 during 1936.

Of the number issued last year, 122 were for new construc» tion estimated at $1,842,448, December‘s remarkable . recovery from the puny November figure of $48,740 was attributed to the fact that a permit was issued to Fred L. Mandel Jr.,. 6f the department store family, to construct a resiâ€" dence on Woodbridge lane estimatâ€" ed â€"to cost $127,900. s Six other building projects, inâ€" cluding three dwellings and a $82,â€" 000 addition to the Lincoln school, helped to swell last month‘sâ€"valuâ€" ation not only over November‘s but also above the figure of $112,700 for December 1986. It is believed that a revival in "middle class" fhouse construction is imminent. Concern is felt over the fact thit much of the building in the community during 1987 was for school additions and other "big" construction.
