". September 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK ol BUILDING IN WILMETTE SHOWS LETUP IN AUGUST Ten Permits for Residences Ac- count for Only $89,500--Total for Month Is $99,250 For the first time this year there was a slump in building in Wilmette, the permit list showing that ten permits were issued for new residences the to- tal amount being only $89,500. There were twelve permits for garages, ac- counting for only $5,750, while another $4,000 was credited to miscellany. The total for the month, also for the first time this year fell below the hundred thousand mark, the figures showing $99,250. A comparison with August of last year shows that last month was lower by something like $75,000. This, how- ever, is not particularly surprising for the reason that the cost of residences fluctuates and commercial improve- ments only frequently raise the total. For instance in August of a year ago only four permits were issued for resi- dences, these being for a total of only $36,000. But commercial improve- ments accounted for $56,000, garages ran to a startling total of $40,640 and the miscellany accounted for another $12,250. Seasonal Lull Here Also it should be mentioned that there usually is a seasonal lull in Au- gust. This is made very evident in comparing the figures of last niorith with those of July the previous month. The difference in the total is quite sizable running to exactly $104,375. In- dications however, are that for Sep- tember the figures will be boosted, but not largely. The present lull will not prevent Wilmette from reaching a new record for the year, for the first seven months were by far larger than for any other seven months of a previous year. The biggest permit issued last month called for a new residence at 521 Lake avenue to cost $25,000. This is being built by the Zander Construction com- pany for Dr. O. B. Yeatman. This is a two story brick veneer home with attached garage. Other permits taken out were for the following : Frame bungalow for Carl Wendell, 104 Sixteenth street, $6,000. Brick and stone dwelling, for Alfred Dutsch, 132 Maple avenue, $12,500.

LaSalle St. Main 0250 Do You Know-- A state license law to regulate out- door advertising, designed to protect residence sections of cities and scenic spots in country regions against bill- board and poster defacement, is now being worked out by joint committees representing the National Association of Real Estate Boards and the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. The proposed license act for the con- trol of billboard placement will be pat- terned after the MacChesney model real estate license act, drafted by the National Association of Real Estate Boards for the protection of the pub- lic against unscrupulous or irresponsi- ble real estate agents. This act has become the basis of laws now in opera- tion in 22 states and one Canadian province. That it took just three weeks for the Crabb, 1535 Washington avenue, $9,000.
