With ap- proximately - $80,000,000 of work awarded during the month of - June, the total value of contracts let dur- ing the first half of the year'is about ,000,000, : or $50,000,000 more than for the-same period of 1928, ~The aggregate -valite of building permits issued in the half year by thirty re- presentative cities also shows an ines crease, 'being $89,575,250 for 1929 .as compared with $/2848000. . . 'And that activity will be. well maintained during the balance of 1929 and' into the following year is indi- cated by the number of important rojects which have been announced or the immediate future. While a summer slump may be expected, over $100,000,000 of new construction was stated to be contemplated in the month of June, The 'beginning, . of operrations in connection with this program, scheduled for the, fall. and early :spring, together with the com- mencement of other works previously announced should see the industry fully employed. Activity in Power Development Possibly the most interesting trend during the last six months has been in the development of electric power. With : the = $65,000,000 Beauharnois scheme, - approved. by the Dominion Government, and preliminaries to be- gin before the end of the year, a great industrial expansion is pre- saged in! the Upper St. Lawrence Vallgy: No less' marked 'an effect should proceed from the carrying out of the Ontario Hydro. Electric. Power Commission's plans for the Ottawa valley, and the erection of the Nor- thern Power Corporations $1,000,000 giant on the Montreal River, about miles north of Cobalt. The Abitibi Power and Paper Company is also to proceed this summer with a large lant in 'the Algoma district.

At Toronto, the C.N.R. has just com- pleted a large express terminal, while the - Canadian Pacific now has one under construction, as well as a $1,- 000,000 coach yard. Work is pro- pessing on the new! station at amilton 'for the Canadian National, and depots at London and Windsor are proposed. - One of the most im- portant of recent projects, which has taken on concrete shape with the ap- proval of plans by the Federal Gov- efnment, is the new C.N.R. terminal for. Montreal, to cost, according to official estimates, at least $53,000,000, 'Provincial Governments in Sass katchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Que- bec and' New Brunswick, have Jaunched - highway constructions in- volving the expenditure of more than seven millions, A large program of work is proceeding under the auspices of the federal government, Industrialization of the Canadian West has also advanced during the past 'six' months. Chrysler Motors, Just starting the third unit of its new plant at Walkerville, Ont, has an- nounced a large automobile factory in Saskatchewan. In the Maritimes, General Motors will build a large ass sembly plant at Halifax. $5,000,000 paper mill at Brook- yn, N.S., and another to cost $20,- 000,000 -at' Dalhousie, N.B,, will fur- ther increase construction in the east. Large Hotels Proposed In addition to the $1,000,000 Ar- thur Cutten Hotel at Guelph, for which plans are now in course of reparation, a number of large uildings are now being contemplated. Rumor persists that the CPR. will enter the hotel field with a magnifi- cent building in Montreal; a Toronto syndicate proposes to spend $1,000,- 000 on a hotel at Winnipeg, where the CN.R. is also said to intend the ex- penditure of some $2,000000 on a large structure; Edmonton is to se: cure one operated under the auspices of Blakely and Symonds or the Unit- ed Hotels Company of America. Calgary, Winnipeg, Sudbury, Lon- don, Brantford, Toronto, Lindsay, Montreal," Quebec and Halifax, will in all probability, see new hospital buildings started before the end of the year, Schools and churches are being erected in every part of the country, * 'Business building is increasing. Due to the advent of several new chains, stores will be erected within the next six or twelve months in the larger cities and towns by one or more of the new systems, The Schultz- United, S. S.

The unemployed of Reykjavik totalled eight men on May 1. Six of them were more than 60 years old and in {ll health. The other two said they hod just left their jobs, and could get better ones. Tceland, peopled with only 100,- 000 inhabitants, could comfortably find accommodation and employ- ment for 900,000. Iceland wants dirt farmers, not men to keep the bright lights of Reykjavik burning. The native but not scientific agriculturists. Government authorities maintain that Iceland could produce far greater quantities of agricultural products than at present, as the soil and climate are excellent for many crops. VENETIANS HOLD ~~ BiG EXHIBITION Italian art being shown in city by the sea Venice, Italy, July 9.--This sum- mer season in Venice is being mark- ed by a great exhibition of 18th cen- tury Italian art. It has been organ- ized by the city authorities at the suggestion of the Prince of Pied- mont, who has taken a keen inter- est in all the arrangements. Venice forms an ideal setting for commemoration of this kind, for no- where was cighteenth-century life so gay, so graceful so happy in all its manifestations as in the city of Gold- oni, whose comedies reflect the man- ners and customs of the day, in Vene- tian places and splendid villas on the Brenta. It was a fairy-tale existence, which vanished like 'a dream when the first clouds of revolution began to sweep over Europe. he first section, "Art and Decora- tive Art" which is much the largest and most important, is housed in the International Exhibitions Palace in the Public Gardens. It includes pic- tures by Rosalba Carrera, Longhi, Canaletto, Guardi, and Pannini, and frescoes by Tiepolo; a valuable col- lection of drawings, over 300, by the great Italian masters of the period, engravings, furniture, tapestries, glass and china, costumes, sedan chairs, etc. In a small theatre there is a special show of marionettes and figures rep- resenting the characteristic "mas- chere" of the old Italian stage, and a large Presepio, or Scene of the Nat- ivity from Naples, where these Christ- mas tableaux were most elaborately got up during the 18th century, with 2 large variety of tiny figures ex- quisitely dressed and often" of real artistic value, y ; The exhibition of "ninnoli," or bric- a-brac; in the Casino Venier, throws interesting sidelights on the social and domestic life of two hundred years ago. Besides fans, snuff-boxes, watches and clocks, there is a collec- tion of carly Italian visiting-cards, which it was the fashion 'to engrave with a variety of designs, often con- taining punning allusions to the own- er's name or profession. The musical section at Palazzo Zenobio ai Carmini has on view a very important collection of string and wind instruments. The palace has a wonderfully decorated music room, in which concerts of eighteenth-cen- tury music is being given during the summer. The galleries and museums of all Italy have yielded freely of their trea- sures to make the Venice exhibition as complete as: possible and foreign colléctors and museums are being generous with loans. Sir Robert Witt is lending, among other things, a su- perb collection of drawings by Canal- etto, and drawings by Tiepolo and Piazzetta are being lent by Dr, Hans Wendland, of Lugano. The Munich Pinacotheka, as a great concession, is sending Guardi's famous picture, "A Ladies' Concert in Honour of the Counts of the North," an enchanting scene of Venetian life which has ne- ver before been allowed to leave the Pinacotheka since it was first placed there nearly a century ago. The exhibition was inaugurated on July 12 by the Prince of Piedmont, PROHIBITION HAS ~ SAVED BILLIONS New York, N.Y. July 10.--In the opinion of Prohibition Admin- istrator Maurice Campbell, prohi- bition has saved the American yeo- ple billions * of dollars spent for ligour. 'of pre-war days, with no allowance and will remain open all the summer, {# formerly Were it not/ for prohibition, he said, the people still would be spending ten per cent of their earn- ings for. liquor which in 1928 would have meant an expenditure of $8,100,000,000 out of annual earnings of $81,000,000,000. He declared the resulting sav- ings have gone into bank accounts, building and loan societies, stock investments, automobiles,, homes and life insurance. Addressing the National Sales Managers' Club, he said that based on the average yearly expenditure for increased consumption or in- creased prices, $35,919,000,000 would have been spent for atcono- lic drink in the last ten years but for prohibition. Jn the years of 1914, 1915 and 1916, h¢ sald, the American people out of fheir annual average earn- ings of $34,000,000,000 spent $3,- 591,000,000, or about 10 per cent, for alcoholic drinks. Community singing will be heard at the 1929 Canadian National Exhibi- tion Grandstand performance.
