New Resicence WiIl Be Iyg Erected in Kenilworth ERA O A building permit, for a new resi- uA ,ence, the fifth since january 1, a ini 63 Suburbs New building in February in the Chi- cago Suburban region is reported to the amnount of $1,185,498 by sixty-tbree building comnissioners, according to the survey released..today by Greene- baumInvestment c ompany. Analysis 'of the returnse proves the situation to be better than the total re- ported indicates. The apparent falling, off as' compared with, Januaryb, which had atotal of $2,039,871, does not mean any real reduction, in tbe amount of suburban- building. between tbe two mionths. In 'February only one, public project of corisiderable size was re- ported, the Rooseveit school gymnasinn at lSth avenue and Harvard in Broad- view, for which John C. Howe, the building commnissioner of tbat suburb, issued a. permnit in. thé amount of $125,- 000. in, January,,to the contrary, two sucb item$ alone added over a million dollar to the total--$300,000 for a field bouse for the Proviso township higb- schoolî and $771,000 for the Niles town- ship high school. The inclusion of sucb unusual figures in any month almost lnvariably makes the succeeding montb seeni poor by comparison. If these school projects in both January and February be ft out of consideration, it will be found that general building in the sub- urban region was considerably better in F~ebruary -than in January, just as it was last year. 1111tN MUU o in a8&8 5Lie u ~1 po,- 010.
