Carlos President, United Construction Co., Inc. DURING the month of November, the Office of the City Engineer approved building permits for con struction work amounting to P4,819,360. For the same period last year, the volume of work authorized amounted to P3,080,145 in comparison with P3,338,685 in 1949 and P3,984,235 in 1948. Among the big projects that were started during the month under review and which account for the increase in costs over those of the past years were: A 3-story building for the College of Medicine, University of Santo Tomas, in Sampaloc, costing P700.000. On Isla de Romero, (for the Feati Institute of Technology, a 4-story structure estimated at P600.000. A hotel building on Dewey Boulevard for Litton & Company, costing P350.000. Ocean Shipping and Exports By B. B. Tunold Secretary-Manager Associated Steamship Lines TOTAL exports for the month of November of this year showed a small decrease as compared to exports during November last year. This decrease can probably be attributed to a reduc tion in lumber, copra, and desiccated coconut exports. 91 vessels lifted 222,335 tons of exports during the month, as compared to 234,092 tons lifted by 99 vessels during the same month last year. Commodities which have registered sharp increases over last year’s figures for the same month, are: beer from 113 to 430 tons; lead ores from nil to 180 tons; iron ores from 33,705 to 72,785 tons; and sugar cent./raw from 4,687 to 15,370 tons.
