However, there was an unex­ 1897 290,459.00 1921 1,908,738.27 pired term of two months of Judge Holmes' term which Judge 1898 312,328.59 1922 2,150,964.15 Pfefferle did not seek and Judge Arthur L.

We 1904 577,401.24 1928 3,039,581.47 are deeply indebted to the administration of Mayor Henry W. 1905 600,493.05 1929 3,005,979.54 Worley in procuring the necessary legislation to make these 1906 610,486.04 1930 2,944,537.38 new quarters possible, and also R. C. Kempton, architect, in 1907 667,998.96 1931 2,725,858.47 charge of the plans. During its twenty years of existence this 1908 718,778.14 1932 $2,641,065.85 court has never had a permanent home, or one suitable to its 1909 781,576.90 1933 2,589,233.82 needs.

We sincerely hope that these new quarters may assist the TOTAL CLEARINGS OF THE COLUMBUS CLEARING court in maintaining the dignity and respect to which it is HOUSE BANKS entitled, and that the members of the bar may enjoy the Bank clearings show how the city has grown commercially: same to the fullest extent possible with us. 1904 $228,205,600 1920 751,010,400 1905 257,420,900 1921 660,408,100 TABLE SHOWING BUILDING OPERATIONS FROM 1906 274,051,600 1922 731,173,700 1891 TO 1935 1907... 284,737,600 1923 788,068,900 1908 255,128,600 1924 729,097,000 Permits Estimated 1909 307,648,600 1925 802,748,100 Issued Valuation 1910 308,187,900 1926 881,312,600 J892 1,511 5 2,019,569.00 1912 322,964,400 1927 922,793,300 1893 1,215 1,546,281.00 1911 291,301,300 1928 892,035,600 1894 1,043 1,875,968.00 1913 337,574,000 1929 905,967,900 1895 1,032 1,471,946.00 1914 341,411,400 1930 792,932,400 1896 629 792,651.00 1915 349,324,900 1931 602,282,400 1897 658 724,265.00 1916 487,459,100 1932 386,297,800 1898 631 851,611.00 1917 525,641,400 1933 _ 346,380,650 1899 868 1,207,893.00 1918 555,026.600 1934 _ 446,690,900 1900 910 1,459,275.00 1919 678,145.800 1935 _ 529,231,300 THE CITY MANUAL.
