Commissioners Hear Financial Report On 1972 Construction Houston County Com missioners heard a report from county building in spector Fred Beard Monday night that $1,382,300 is a ‘‘very, very conservative figure” on the amount of construction that has been started during 1972 in the county. Beard said that 102 building permits have been issued at a cost of $4,173. He estimated that perhaps $20,000 of the $1,382,300 is commercial, with most of the remainder single family dwelling units.

The contracts include paving King Drive east to Davis Drive, resurfacing the west end of Green Street into I-aurel Hills, and resurfacing all streets in Oasis Estates.
