outranked other Oregon towns of
this size, and fell in costs only lit

permits representing an expendi
ture of $86,090. Klamath Falls

$333,330 spent In July of this
year, and was about the same as
August, 1928.: In Salem, last
month's building was slightly less
in July and high above the $33,-
725 of August, 1928, Portland ac
tivity was below both a year ago

than in Fresno; double that of
Berkeley, despite the fact 172
permits were Issued there; and
five times greater than in Bakers
