Homes in Oshawa are going up quickly. The new suburb, Hills and Dales is already being filled in by homes, This new area, with its advantageous restrictions, will probably be one of the city's best residential districts when complete- ly habitated. Altogether, there were 174 homes erected during the month of May, the tota] cost heing $625,350. Nine apartments will be huilt, adding a further $187,600 to the above to- tal, Another feature for last month in the 'building line, was the erec- tion of a great number of garages, Eighty-one of these buildings werd put up, and cost in the peighbor- hood. of $15,015. The average number of garages in comparison to the number of houses is considered large, and with reports that many more automobiles are being pur- chased each day, more garages are expected to be raised within tne next few months, now that finer weather is here, . Alterations on homes, buildings and miscellaneous work of this type amounted to $28,740, and work on other structures totalled $26,560. Business section building main- tained its standard for the previous month and operations in this dis- trict totalled $74,170, A unique feature under the building permit plan for this month was the erection of electric signs on places of business to the extent of $1,090. $136, 500 building plan was carried out on factory loca- tions, : The new hotel foundation, in- cluding excavation work and pre- sumably the laying of the concrete walls amounted to $16,000.
