BUILDING ACTIVITY.
TEAR STARTS BRISKLY. I PERMITS FOR BIG JOBS, i The year has opened briskly in the building business in Auckland/ This is reflected in the fact that the Auckland City Council issued permits to builders last month to the value of £141,804, an increase of £14,205 on the value for January. Permits issued in January and February represented a total value of £269,403. Permits for the erection of 78 dwellings have been issued this year, 37 of which were granted in February. The second portion of the Arcade scheme, which will connect Queen Street and Customs Street round the Dilwort'n Building, was the largest work in respect of which a permit was issued in February. The sum of £37,000 is involved. The value represented in the permits was swelled, too, by the issue of authority for rebuilding a hotel in Khyber Pass Road, at a contract price of £24.000.
