A committee of the hoard was appointed to look into the situation and. if possible, facilitate the issuance of these cert ates.

Although a_decline of $3,511978 was registered in comparison with the preceding year, when a total of $54,437,724 was reached, the wear just closed was the third highest in the history of the city. The total valuation for _construction during Home building during 1926 also declined in volume, according to the report. Permits for the erection of 4,878 dwellings were granted last vear. 1In 1925 the construction of 5,804 houses was permitted. Over- ?»ulldlng in this class of construction in certain sections accounts for the decline, it is said. New construction, terations _in December $2,703,600.
