September Dwelling-Unit Permit Totqls Up Shqrply

September construction continued to ride on high levels in the 13 Western states and British Columbia, with a strong $65,721,578 lead over the corresponding month in 1958, in the Western Building monthly survey of over 400 Western building jurisdictions.

Dwelling permit totals were up $22.2 million over the same period. A total of 393 more shelter unit permits were granted during September 1959 than in September 1958, with a corresponding drop for the month of 304 permits of all classes. Total dwelling-unit dollar volume was off from last August, however, indicating a greater proportion of the housing dollar going into higher-value construction.

The overall dollar volume total for September 1959 was V88,377,693, representing a 7.5/o rise over August, continuing a rising volume trend after July's slight slump.

Most impressive gains in total construction were noted in Arizona, with a l9/o rise over September 1958. Last month's Arizona total was $31.9 million. Montana posted a 93/o gain, although based on a smaller figure-$S million in September construction. Oregon showed a large jump in shelter construction, its September $11.5 million dwellingunit total was 46/o over September 1958.

In individual jurisdictions, Los Angeles maintained its usual first-place lead with a staggering $75,987,718 in total construction-more than twice its total for September 1958: followed by Los Angeles Cour,ty with a $19- million total. San Diego was third, followed by fast-rising Honolulu, where new plant construction raised the Hawaiian capital's total to $15.9 million.
