CLINTON, Tenn, April 1.—Five
Building figures for March failed persons were in jail here today, held
to top those of February, according
to the building permits record in the
Mayor’s office. The total valuation
of permits issued in March amount
to $9,250, against $12,180 for Feb-
ruary.
These figures include both new
dwellings and remodeling. During
February there was a total of $1,180
expended for repairs. March saw
a total of $750 marked against this
item.
There are some buildings under
consideration and others that have for the shooting of Hensley follow-
