Thirteen applications for ap- proximately $175.000 in new construction had been issued in April up until mid-month oy Building Inspector Clarence Oke. One of these permaits was for $125,000 for the new public school on Church St. E., near St. George St., however. Nine of the permits were for dwellings, two were for garages and one was for a boathouse. Work has started on three of these buildings and the rePnair- der probably will be started this week.- Mr. Oke stated that the new system of issuing building per- mits under the new Building By-law is working quite well, although some applying for per- mits do not know that they must present blueprints or rea- sonably accurate drawings of the proposed building when applying. Once these are pre- sented, the permit can be ob- tained for $3.00. There are further charges when* inspec- tions are made by Mr. Oke.
