all building permits exceed this
sum. Next to 1936, since 1930.
stands 1931 with $141,365.23 In
permit values.
Demand Continues
The prospect for the future Is
bright, with real estate agents
still reporting a demand for new,
modern homes and with numerous
rumors of impending business
building operations being beard.
Among the possibilities in the way
of business and office construc
tion are the proposed office build
ing to be leased to the state, a
new Montgomery Ward and com-'
pany department store building
and a business building at North
Liberty street.
Nearly $18,000 worth of build
ing permita were issued in Salem
last week. They Included a
32500 store building and five new
houses estimated to cost $13,585.
The following table compares
permits issued for Private con
struction only this year and those
for all types of permits in the
first four months of previous
years:
1936 $148,233.00
1936 78.467.00
193 72,120.00
1933 48.726.00
1932 77,217.55
1931 141,265.23
130 275,185.10
1929 345.314.00
Average Cost of
Houses Is Higher
The average new house has
gained In cost this year over
those constructed in Salem in
1935. The rise is attributed not
alone to au increase in material
and labor costs but in large part
to construction of larger, more
substantial homes.
Whereas the 49 houses far
which permits were issued last
year averaged $1776 per unit,
the 41 residential permits taRen
out this year average 12170.44.
Five permits for new houses
last week pushed ahead of the
entire 12 months of 1935 in
construction values. In 1935 per
mits for houses had a total value
of $87,045. This year to date,
for fever houses, they amount
to 188.988.
