Decline lnuBnilding; 0f Houses In Canada

_ ((7 adlun Press)

A coust-to-const survey by tho Canadian Press tcclay showed u sharp decline in. building of homes. coincident with an upsurge oi building activity in the commer- clnl and industrial classes.

Various reasons. chi-oily the high cost nf building materials and reluctance to build at prevail- ing rentals. were advanced. There

appeared lo he no regional pat- .

fern in the figures collected in the survey but a marked contrast hc- Lwccn home building and con- struction of non-residential struc- tures was evident throughout.

In such widely separated cities as Kitchener and Regina the number of building permits issued for homes ln the first four months of this year was less than one- lhlrd of the number issued in the same period last year. Issuance of permits dropped in Kitchener from 105 lo 33 and in Rnlna from 258 to 66. Industrial building in Kitchener, valued at 053.380 in the first iour months of 1946. more than doubled to this year's $173.- 218. and in Regina increased from 0440.685 to 0816.750.

- These figure: were the extrem- es, with the other cities sampled showing the same unmistakabl! trend. In Ottawa housing permit: issued dropped from 175 for the first iour months of last YB!‘ l0 181 this year; in North Bay from 43 to s3; ln Winnipeg from 360 to

241; in Edmonton from ens to 200, and in Vancouver from 1.389 to 930.

There were thousands o1 demon- strations in the cities qf the Sov- let Union on the day pi-ckcd by the Russians to celebrate the sccond anniversary of the victory over Germany. Sporting events, such as soccer and horse racing, attracted many spectators.

The army newspaper Red Star put forth this boast:

"We fought for three years slonr: with the foe tinder trying condi- tions. A second front (in France), as is known. was opened only after the Soviet army inflicted a decisive defeat on the Germans and it be- came clear that the Soviet Union was able with its own forces. with- out tho aid of the Allies. to occupy all oi Germany and liberate France.“
