SMITH & Co. 332 Park Ave. Glencoe Phone Glencoe 702 Building Upturn in Glencoe Is Strong For Sale--Winnetka GLENCOE, according to statistics compiled from the department of Building Commissioner William Edwards, issued a total of 200 permits for new and remodeling work in the building line during the year 1927, with a value of $2,078,394, an increase of 66 in the number of permits, over 1926 and an increase in the value of work thus authorized of $660,327. This, it should be said, does not include the half-million dollar water works plant which the village is building, nor the preliminary work for a new mov- ing picture theater and another apartment building or two which it had been hoped would be authorized by permit before the close of the year just ended. During the year 1927 a total of 77 permits were taken out for residences alone, having a total value of $1,347,400, an increase in number of permits of 29 over the year 1926 and a corresponding increase of $234,200 in valuation. There was also much activity in the line of remodeling and repairing dur- ing the past year, for which 65 permits were issued for work amounting to $190,320, as against only 26 permits in 1926 for similar work, valued at $41,879. There was a marked increase under the classification of "apartments, com- mercial and business," in which 13 permits were issued against only six in 1926, the value of work authorized in this class amounting to $516,414 as against $244,200 in 1926.
