The lans of the metropolitan town planning commission show Large areas available for future develop ment. Mayor Maclean emphasized he Large number of Rich potential Industrial Sites already improved available at present. Construction valued at about in the first six months of 3949 is Matching the growth of the City.

The Nordale school with a value of is the largest single item. The total although four times the 1929 level for the same six months is about Short of last year s record amount. Much of the current decline can e traced to the need for improved and for residential building. A comparison of built in he first six months of 19-39 with the number built in the same period in 194s is considered Signi cant. Permits were issued in this period in 1948 for 114 houses valued at and this year -14 per mits for houses totalled Only 600. Building in the area is generally at the same High level As last year therefore a reasonable conclusion from these figures would be that a Lack of proper Sites is the main reason for the decline shown it has Heen pointed out.

Lougheed says you can see the algae without a in a mass that is not singly. Hold a clean handkerchief under the Lap and let water run through it for a few moments. The Green fuzz left stranded on the Hankie will be a Colony of Al gae. There arc probably 100 varieties of them in our water Supply right now there Are every the health officer commented. Filtering would remove the tiny plants but there s no health need for the process according to or. Lougheed Winnipeg has a better and cleaner water Supply than Many other Canadian cities.
