Wn TTR ioe J - REAL ESTATE SECTION August 4, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 47 WILMETTE IS HOLDING STRONG BUILDING PACE Twenty-two Permits Issued in July for Total of $203,625.00-- Record Year Certain Wilmette continues a leader of the north shore in building activities and that the year will result in the estab- lishment of a new record seems cer- tain judged by the permits calling for expenditures of big amounts which continue to be issued month after month. The slowing up which naturally was to be expected after that record break- ing month of June when twenty-six permits were issued for a total of $705,327 did not materialize. While July was lower than the same month of last year by $81,190, the average for the first seven months of the year is far ahead of the same period of 1927. For the first half of the year the permits totalled $1,631,201. The figures for last year were $928,896, and a little subtraction shows the present year leading by the huge sum of $702,305. That in itself is sufficient to insure a new record this year. Schultz Expects Record Superintendent of Public Works C. C. Schultz is enthusiastic over the way "business keeps up." "We're sure to top all other years," he said yesterday. "Our permits for June alone totalled more than our in- crease for the first six months over the same period of last year."
