"A Family Tradition for 126 Years" Building permits increased substantially in September September's building permit figures were up substantially over the same period last year. According to the Township of Scugog's building permit re- port, a total of 22 permits were issued last month with a value of $994,450. This is up substan- tially from September, 1991's figure of $579,300 for 23 per- mits. Leading the way was single family dwellings with five per- mits sold at a value of $595,000. For the same period a year earli- er only one permit was sold at $150,000. Single family additions and alterations dropped during the same period however, to six per- mits worth $182,950 from 12 permits valued at $357,300. Three industrial permits were issued last month totalling $170,000. There were no com- mercial permitsissued. Six garage and carport per- mits were issued during the month of September at a value of $31,500, this is down from the seven permits at $60,000 the previous year.

Single family additions and alterations for the year-to-date were also down over last year's numbers. A total of 58 permits were issued at a value of $1,114,584, compared to 66 per- mits worth $1,721,215 the pre- vious year. The only category that showed a significant gain was the industrial sector.
