NEW HOUSE FOR GREENE HEIGHTS

IS the year draws to- a close the local contractors arc checking up on success 1ui year In the building trades, successful as compared to the two years previous when the government put Q ban on prac- tieaily all building of S2,000 or over. The past year saw a marked increaEe fn building and the number of building per- mits Issued during tie past year shows that the building is almost. back to the pre-war basis. G
 During the last quarter 26 permits have been issued by Fire Marshal Howard L. stanton, bringing the monthly average up 10 normal These permits are largely for garages, although there are about five for cottage houses. The last permit issued on Dec 22 is for q two-story house on Greenvilie Heights; this is the second permit issued within the past week for permission to build in this locality,
 Anthony krupnshi is to erect the two story house on Greenevilie Heights It is 10 be of frame construction, 22x2s feet, witn six rooms and bath. There are ac- conmodattons for enc family. The ex- terior finish is 10 be in clapboards and shingles and the interior finish will be in hardwood and plaster walls.
 In the Mohtvilie section several new cottage houses are under the process of construction. Some are practically com pleted while others have only recently been started. The houses are of the cot tage tyne, with two stories and shingled exterior.
 From the indications given out s.by the l building and loan associations from aif parts Of the state 1t would seem that building operations would take on 9 more ! active appearance with the coming of the \ springtime weather. These associations report many applications for ioans to be 5 used in the erection of new houses. The steady decline of the price of building materials will tend to increase the build- Ing activities during the coming year. l There has been a lack of housing faciii- ties iE all parts of tho country for the past years and the people that could build have refrained owing to the high cost of building materials and labor.

Fear OF a falling national birth
rate has been due mainly 10 the. old

When children are no longer con-
