Of the permit.", the greater part wentto one story dwellings, giving direct

evidence of the tendency on the part

of rent payers to better their condi-tion*, by building for themselves andbecoming really an integral in thecommunity. One hundred and two ofthe permits were issued for such con-struction, representing an outlay of

I\u03b2. Attention is next claimed bythe more pretentious two story dwell-ing places, for which 34 permits wereissued with a total of $115,449. Forstory and a half dwelling places I\u03b2permits were Issued, the total cost be-ing $40, cr "?.

Another strong evidence of the ac-tivity of the month can be had from areport of the Builders' exchange ofAlanvrla county, which shows that theexchange figured on the largest num-

\u25a0' plans, aggregating the largestamount of buildings for a similar-period in the history of the organiza- jtion. The first allotment of plans has Ibeen finished and the contracts let.These include tl>e new municipal audi-torium, the Longfellow, 'Washington,Dewey Park, Division, Fremont, Bayand schools, and other edi-fices, the total for which amounted to$1,453,500. This cum excludes resi-dence structures.

The consistent activity of the marketfor the month has helped swell thesteadily increasing building total whichwill make the year 1912 a banner one.The total figured from January 1, 1912,to November 1, 1912, shows a sum of$7,482,743.85, as against $".541,::19 forthe same period of the year 1911, again for this year over last of $1,641,---424.85. The bank clearings show again for the period from January 1to November 1, 1912, over thecorresponding period of 1911, of$19,713,952.31.

The building for the week ending"Wednesday totaled $103,532. As inthe monthly permits, one story dwell-ing places claimed the greatest in-dividual amount, totaling $38,750 for22 permits. The total for the two storydwellings amounted to $22,000. Among

;her items were: One storybrick stores, $6,000; two story apart-ments, with stores and nickelodeons,$ll,f>00; two story, five room passengerdepot. $2,565. The sum expended forold construction was $14.553, number-ing 3S permits.

PI.KYVWr VAU.EV COURTactivity continues in Pleas-

ant Valley court, the new bungalowat the Realty sundicate, adjoin-

ing Piedmont, and sales are being re-corded daily. The construction workon six: bungalows now being built iswell under way and all will be com-pleted and ready for occupancy inabout 60 days. The plans and specifi-cations were selected from almost 100of the best types of southern bungalowhomes and represent latest Ideas indesign and arrangement of the floorplan.

The- tract is more than 100 feethigher in elevation than the center ofOakland, and yet is protected by thePiedmont hills from wind and fog.Careful attention was given the mat-ter of street, sewer, water and gas im-provements, and provision lias beenmade to run all electric wires on ther»ar of lots. The water mains, insteadof being in the streets, have beenplaced inside the sidewalk line and, un-like many other tracts, it will neverbe necessary to tear up the paving , tomake service connections.

The property is meeting the demandfor residence sites close to local andSan Francisco transportation and isparticularly adapted for the needs ofthe commuter, the tract being butthree blocks from the Piedmont avenueterminus of the Fortieth street Key

With the coming of the first rainsOakland's beautiful foothill residencesection has begun to array itself In itsgreen mantle, and from now until lateinto the summer of next year will beat its prettiest.

"It is after talking with some onewho has lately arrived from the eastthat we come to appreciate the beautyof our city," said Fred Reed, sub-division manager of the LaymanceReal Estate company. "Yesterdaya man from one of the New Eng-land states was among the visit-ors to Rockridge, and as he lookedover those beautiful rolling hills amithe marine view that is spread out Inthe foreground he acknowledged thatany boast Oakland might make couldbe more than made good.

OAKLAND. Nov. S.?Steadiness ofthe realty market and buildingactivity

in the face of the approaching winterseason is seen in the summary of thebuilding permits for October. The to-

tal shows that $619,073.25 was ex-pended in building, representing , 425

individual permits. Of this number 225permits went toward new construction,

with an outlay of $525,979.95. Although

th*» total of the permits for alterations,

additions and repairs ran up to 200,the cost was much less, there being

only $93,093.30 going into old construc-

tion.

Building operations in Rockridgearc going steadily forward despite thetain, and this r.otivity will be greatlyincreased as soon as the OaklandBuilding and Development companybegins its operations there. This corn-

is planning for the immediateerection of a number of houses thatwill be in keeping with the characterof the homes that have already beenbuilt in Rockridge. They have chosenthat section for thoir work because oflte strong appeal to people who wanta home in a beautiful residence tractIn the foothills and who realize thatthey will probably never again haveU\u03bc opportunity of buying property of

?is out Broadway to Rockridge an dthen up to the Piedmont hills, andevery time any one who lives on thelower, level sections goes throughthose hills he begins looking forwardto the time when he too will build hishome there.

"I heard glowing reports of Oaklandfrom the time I reached the borders ofCalifornia," said Thomas fit Insof Minneapolis, secretary <>f the Na-tional Association of Real Estate Ex-changes, during his recent visit hereas a guest of tiie Oakland Real Estateassociation. "Coming from a level jcountry, I was attracted by the admir-'able and incomparable home surround-ings of the dwellers in "the hills, wherealmost any home site will command abeautiful view of San Francisco bayand the cities grouped on Its shores."
