BUILDERS ARE BUSY
Permits Granted Already Ex
ceed January, 1909, Mark.
RECORD MAY BE DOUBLED
Issuance of Two Large Permits
Promised Which "Will Increase
Total to Considerably More
Than Million Dollars.
The office of the Building Inspector
has been kept busy this week checking
over plans for structures to be erected
in Portland, and last week there were
Issued a total of S3 permits, buildings
valued at a total of $197,465. This
brings the total for this month to $449,
764, or greater than the entire month of
January, 1909, when the total was
$431,415. That the Increase shown by
Portland for the opening month of the
year will be much greater than this,
appears from the plans in the Building
Inspector's office, which indicate that
more than $500,000 will still be issued
and with even a showing lower than
ordinary in residence construction the
total for the month should be over the
$1,000,000 mark. .
The plans for the Court House are
now being checked and for this build
ing a $250,000 permit will be issued in
the coming week. Another large build
ing which is being checked is the Rail
way Exchange Building, to be built on
Third and Stark streets at a cost of
$250,000. The Building Inspector be
lieves that tills permit will be issued
before the end of the month and these
two buildings, with about $200,000 in
ordinary residence permits, should
carry the total over $1,100,000.
Such a showing for January is con
sidered little short of remarkable, as
this has at all times been the poorest
month for building, owing largely to
the inclement weather and the hesi
tancy to start concrete work on founda
tions when there is' danger of freezing.
Activity among builders this month is
believed to be an index of the great
amount of building in store for the
ensuing year, when it is predicted that
the total wijl approach closely to the
$20.00.000 mark.
The permits issued each day last
week were as follows: Monday, 23 for
a total of $37,550; Tuesday, 20 for a
total of $111,025; Wednesday, nine for
a total of $4160; Thursday, 11 for a
total of $17,620; Friday, nine for a total
$9935; Saturday, 11 for a total of
$17,175.

Push Cluyb Plans to Keep Pace
With Suburb's Development,
The beautiful district of "Woodstock has
taken new steps forward. At the last
meeting of the Woodstock Push Club it
was decided to hold a mass meeting the
second Friday in February to consider the
matter of street improvements. Wood
stock now includes all the additions to
ward the South, which have opened dur
ing the past year, and where -there is a
big settlement. The object is to adopt
a uniform system of street improve
ments for the territory, and then work
them out as soon as possible.
According to the action taken by the
Push Club the people favor parking all
the streets except that occupied by the
streetcar tracks, and a few others that
may be used -In the future for streetcars.
Argument for parking the streets was
that the cost of the pavements will he
much less than the wide roadway. For
residence districts like Sellwood it was
considered that 26 feet is wide enough
for general traffic. However, it is de
sired that every property owner should

generous response among the people of
Woodstock to the appeal for funds with
which to rebuild. Rev. J. D. "Voce Is the

It is proposed to make the new church

about two miles from the Woodstock

Church has been organized with 30 mem

a church building during the latter part
of the year.

the weather has permitted the street
work to be carried forward, and this

One sale of considerable importance
was negotiated last week to Archie

addition. A purchase of an irregular
shaped tract was made by the two con
tractors, who secured about an acre of

the center oi the Ladd farm for many
years. This barn, 200 by 60 feet, will
be moved at once to the acre purchased,
and will be used for warehouse pur
poses. The old barn has been one of
the landmarks of the district for many,
years. .
The contract for covering the en
tire -addition with sewers has Just been
let to the Barber Asphalt Company.
That work will be started as soon as
the materials can be placed on the
ground. A contract was let yesterday
to build a residence at a cost of $5500
on Multnomah street near Sandy foad.
This house, which will be of mission
design, and will be one story, save
for one of the ends, which will have a
room on the second story, will be used
as the home of the resident agent for
the Laurelhurst Company. One room
will be used during the season as an
office for the Laurelhurst Company. It
will be built at once.
Contracts have been let to two nur
sery companies for setting out shade
trees on all the streets in the plat at
intervals of 30 feet. It requires more
than 2000 trees to cover the tract... The
varieties chosen for this are maple, lin
den, cut-leaf, purple-leaf birch, elm and
hawthorne.
The work of building new homes has
been retarded during the Winter, but
a large number of purchasers in the
tract are now going ahead and having
plans prepared for handsome residences,
and some of these are being designed
along lines which will make them
among the finest homes in Portland.
The company is now building two large
entrance arches at the doorways of the
addition, one at East Thirty-second and
Glisan streets, and the other at Eas
Thirty-third street and the SaDdy road.
These arches are being built of blue
