ould, Caliâ€" Coop, iver; the rockâ€" mer, 4 â€"Per Cent Increase Forecast In Gross Provincial Product Construction of power projects across the province will resume as quickly as possible, Ontario Hydro Chairman George E. Gathercole said this evening, following the signing of a collective agreement with _ the _ Allied~ Construction Council. A four per cent increase in Ontario‘s gross provincial product this year is forecast by the Deâ€" partment of Economics and Develâ€" opment. The Ontario Industrial Review, the annual report of the departâ€" ment, states that while 1967‘ growth rate will be below the exâ€" pansion levels of recent years, the expected reâ€"acceleration of the North American economy will see Minister of Highways George E. Gomme has announced that ‘under recent amendments to the Highâ€" way Traffie Act, reduced speed limits through construction areas may now be placed in effect when traffic conditions warrant. Speed Limits In Work Areas The policy is the result of a coâ€"operative effort by the Departâ€" ment of Highways, the Departâ€" ment of Transport and the Ontario Provincial Police in the interest of safety on Ontario‘s highways. In the future, the Minister noted, motorists exceeding posted speed limits in construction areas will be subject to speeding reguâ€" lation penalties as outlined in the Highway Traffic Act. Speed restriction signs will be placed by the Department of Highâ€" ways and enforcement will be carâ€" ried out by the Ontario Provincial Police. Fines of up to $200 and licence suspension of up to six months may be imposed for violaâ€" tions of the new regulations. Honorable John R. Nicholson, Minister responsible to Parliament for Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, has announced the approval of $52 million in federal loans for a variety of housing prujects in the Province of Ontario. Most of the loansâ€"$42 millionâ€" will assist in the construction or acjusition of housing projects for low income families and elderly persons. The remaining $10 milâ€" lion will go towards the construcâ€" tion of accommodation for married students at the University of Toâ€" ronto. The total estimated cost of all projects is in excess of $7o million. « Federal Funds For Housing If The federal loans announced toâ€" day â€" will â€" provide 3,025 â€" public housing units (in 19 projects throughout _ the â€" province. _ The loans range from $33,000 for four senior . citizens‘ apartments . in Tilbury to more than $14 million for a 955â€"unit apartment building for low income families in Toâ€" ronto. In addition accommodation for %13 married students will be built. Provided _ under the National Housing Act, all loans are for periods of 50 years with interest at 5% per cent. pulp and paper industry reached the $650,000,000 mark during 1966, states the annual review of the Department of Economics and Deâ€" velopment. Ontario‘s wood cut inâ€" creased 10 per cent last year comâ€" pared mithâ€" 1965, pulp production vose by eight per cent, paper and paperboard by 10 per cent, while newsprint production rose 9.1 per cent, to 8,400,000 t.ol’. Total shipments by Ontario‘s Hydro Construction Strike Is Settled â€" Thursday, July 20, 1967 Two unions, the United Assoâ€" ciation of Plumbers and the Brotherhood of Carpenters, withâ€" drew from the Council, which has bargained collectively with Hydro for the last 16 years. "Negotiaâ€" tions wi‘h these trades will conâ€" tinue and we are most hopeful of Ontario move toward the optimum sustainable _ rate of _ economic growth. (The 1967 .GPP is exâ€" pected to total $24,300 million, compared with $22,800 million last year. Real growth will represent four per cent of this increase, and price increases will account for three per cent.) Highlights of the review include: â€"In the past three years Onâ€" tario made "impressive progress" toward realizing and exceeding the economic goals established for the 1963â€"1970 period. The real gross provincial product has grown by 20.4 per cent since 1963, compared with the planned target of 5.5 per cent average annually. â€"Since 1963, total employment has risen by 268,000 to 2,650,000 jobs, exceeding the employment goal by 43,000 jobs. In 1966 the number of persons employed rose ‘by 102,000, compared with the target of 75,000 new jobs. At Our Rexdale Store Only â€" Open Mon. Tues. Wed.

"REGRETTABLE® Two other unions representing the ironworkers and the hotel and restaurant workers refrained from signing the agreement today pendâ€" ing resolvement of their own difâ€" ficulties in the industry. â€"Ontario maintained an unemâ€" ployment level at 2.5 pe: cent last year â€" "a considerable achieveâ€" ment in a year of high immigraâ€" tion and large growth in the labor force." â€"In productivity the economy has also run ahead of schedule. Ontario‘s goal for productivity im provement is a compound lnnu-l‘ rate of 25 per cent, while the actual gain over the last three years has averaged 2.7 per cent. The slowing of the manufecturing sector, combined . with continued rapid expansion in the services seetor, contributed to a lower proâ€" ductivity rise in 1966, compared with the two previous years. â€"Ontario‘s export performance has also been "extremely satisfyâ€" ing." In 1966 there was a further rise in cyports of manufactured goods of 63 per centâ€"placing the province far ahead of the export target to date. e Lo ousi ce d d e = e * omm f s j # "ha:s |¢ â€"~m . r] 2p4 : |} ° Heavy Gauge Steel Construction W ° Bakedâ€"on Enamel Finish Hinged p ARK,E ® Reinforced Doorsâ€"Chromed Pulls | NG ' For 1500 Cars Just A Few Examples To Choose From | 2 Emtpanees COLORED CONSOLE TV‘s AND PORTABLE BLACK & WHITE TV‘s.

A most serious effect of the 11â€" week strike involving 3,00C workâ€" ers, said Mr. Gathercole, is the delay caused to Hydro‘s billion dollar program designed to meet the increasing power demands for the people and industries of Onâ€" "Unfortunately, we have lost a great deal of time which will not be possible to recover. The strike has jeopardized our plans of addâ€" ing a capacity of more than one million kilowatts to meet the deâ€" mands of this coming winter." While holding to these princiâ€" ples, the Commission recognized Mr. Gathercole said that while the full impact of the strike canâ€" not yet be assessed, it is evident that several installations can not be completed in time to meet scheduled inâ€"service dates. The issues in the strike were particularly difficult because they involved what the Commission deemed to be matters of principle.
