C. Shultz, 342 building permits were issued during that period, authorizing a total expenditure in both new and remodeling work of $2,120,759, an increase of 37 in the number of permits issued, with a corresponding in- crease of $532,890 in building improvements thus authorized. A further gratifying feature of the report, as will be noted in the appended detailed statistics for both the years 1926 and 1927, is the marked increase in the number of residences. In 1926 a total of 111 permits for this type of build- ing was issued, with a value of $1,380,300, while for the year just ended, the total was 128 and the valuation was $1,784,550. : Under the classification of "apartments, commercial and public," there was a total of 14 permits the past year, as against only six, in 1926, and the value of the new work in the business area the past year is $189,075, as against only $72,600 in 1926. : 3 The following monthly tabulation contains much other interesting data: FIGURES FOR 1927 Mo.
