County Building Suffers Decline November Valuations Show Drop From October of $100,000 Construction in Orange county cities struck the annual winter slump in November as recorded totals diminished by almost $100,-000 from the previous month and numbers of permits issued dropped accordingly. In the month of October total construction was $521,277 in the county and in November it had dropped to $431,094. Permits dropped from 414 to 334 for the same period. Rural totals rose sharply from an October low of $74,456 to $109,480. Of the 12 cities listed, two showed increases over October in their November reports. Declines were shown for Anaheim, $23,040 in October and $15,-400 in November, and Fullerton, $59,403 and $37,505, respectively, and in Huntington Beach, $12,916 and $5,428. Newport Beach, just over the million mark for the year, had $76,775 in November against $95,-280 the previous month. Santa Ana held an almost even keel, reporting $106,990 for November compared with $108,577 for October. Seal Beach figures are $30,-450 and $10,350, respectively.

East St. Main Street Job Soon Will Start Awarding of Contracts For Projects to be Made in Near Future Five years of planning for the extension of South Main street between Santa Ana and Corona del Mar is about to bring results, the county board of supervisors disclosed Tuesday, with awarding of contracts expected to be made within the next few weeks. Cost of the project will probably be between $250,000 and $300,000. Completion of the seven-mile link will bring Santa Ana three miles closer to south coast areas. The project was initiated five years ago by Supervisor N. E. West, and was originally designed as a "farm-to-market" road, to draw outside aid. Later it was redesigned as a major highway and link in the ultimate state system of freeways, which brought about a delay of two years, while state and federal cooperation was arranged. The federal government, through WPA, already had spent $300,000 in grading, the county furnishing equipment and supervision, the state donating $12,000, and the Irvine company donating the right-of-way, and this was obtained after another six months. Money originally set aside by the state for the job had been withdrawn for flood emergency relief, after the 1938 floods.

Money originally set aside by the state for the job had been withdrawn for flood emergency relief, after the 1938 floods. But the state now is ready to proceed with surfacing of the highway, West said, at the same time pointing out that the new highway will have military value. The paving job will be financed from the state's current improvement budget.
