Los Angeles Achieves New Record For Construction in

Monfhs

For the first time in its history, construction in Los Angeles for a year has reached $600 million. And this total was reached in November, when building construction authorizations of $42,300,322 also establisl-red a new city record for that month.

"It is especially significant that the volume of $607,553,919 was attained in only l1 months and exceeds by nearly $47 million the total of $560,758,565 for the entire year of 1958 which held the previous record," said G. E. Morris, general manag'er of the Building and Safety Department.

Construction in areas serviced by the County Building Department also took a sharp upturn, with a gain of more than $29 million in November over the corresponding period in 1958.

County Engineer John A. Lambie reported permits for construction totaling $323,829,935 have beeu issued since the first of last year for tl-re unincorporated areas and in cities served by the department. This compares with a valuation of $294,818,703 lor the first 11 months of 1958. The November total also jumped with $19,819,827 in new construction, compared to $19,078,814 for November 1958.

The vast expansion in Los Angeles' building was achievecl clespite the steel strike which crippled construction to an nndetermined extent.

Since the first of last year, the San Fernando Valley has continued to lead all areas of the city in construction, with a building volume of $19,970,766 for the first 11 montl-rs.
