CQCOON HIDES NEW CITY WATERWORKS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING -

JA continued high rate of con- struction in Charlottetown saw building permits issued by the yo d near the $4,500,000 mark for

Although this total is down noticeably from ‘the previous two years, it still represents a steady building progress due to the fact the previous two years saw per- mits issued first. for Confeder- ation Centre and in 1964 for the new provincial government buil- ding in the wes‘ end of the city. Each one of those building per- mits alone was for more than the entire ,total last year.

The only large construction job started was the new Charlotte- town Hilgh School with the buil- ding permit issued for $1,100,000 during the month of December.

August permits issued were * next higLest in value at $824,450

Winter works plan

Perhaps ‘Guiness is good for you’’, perhaps you should ‘‘nev- ier borrow money needlessly’, but it seems that the most ef- fective sales-campaign phrase on P.E.I. ‘this'year is “Don't Wait for Spring, Do-it-Now".

The -municipalities in the Pro- vince have taken the winfer em- ployment campaign to_ heart, and more than a million dollars worth of winter works are now underway in Kings and Queens counties.

In an @ffort to conquer the seasonal unemployment which has always: affected the Canad- ian economy, and which affects in particular the construction industry so adversely, the minion Government introduced the Municipal Winter Works In- pep te Program under which,

im specified areas, the Dominion Government pays 60 per cent of all direct labour -costs of jects carried out in the winter time.

To further encourage munici- Palities to take advantage of this jal Govern-

As usual of late years, in- stitutional building led the way in permit value with a.total of $2,284,690 last year. Commercial construction amounted to only half'as much as the institution- al with a total of $1,082,500.

While residential building per- mits ran far behind the main classifications they still repre- sented a tremendous amount of | new home building in this city | with the total for 1965 . con- struction of $835,400.

In addition to the above fig- ures permits were issued for | nearly a quarter-million dollars | to permit of alterations in buil- | dings in the various classificat- |

NO SIZE LIMIT

Virtually all the incorporated towns and villages in Kings and Queens counties are taking ad- vantage of these offers, espec- ially since no size limits are placed on projects that can be carried out under this program, and this yéar they range from one worth $450 to one worth ' Three quarters of a million dollars are spent under this pro- gram for homes for senior cifiz- ens, These are being erected in all incorporated villages and

D> towns so that older people can live their full years in the local |

areas in which they have spent the greater part of Yheir lives. There is now no need for the aged to have to move into Char- Jottetown institutions at the end

Pro- of their working lives.

The City of Charlottetown is taking full advantage of this Municipal. Winter Works pro- gram in the construction of the new works and Office Building for the Commissioners of Sew- ers and Water Supply.
