With a total of more than $5,800,000 authorized by the bullding inspector for the past seven days, this first week in August almost reaches the record week of about $6,000,000, which occurred in April, 1923, when the Mayflower Hotel was begun, The Press Club and the, Capital Ga- rage projects were filed this week. The first bullding activity on Ob- servatory Circle, where the British embassy s to be built, has been au- thorized.
