BUILDING TRADE
ACTIVITY MAINTAINED. The value of building works for which permits were issued in New Plymouth last month is £BBOO. Allowing for the holiday period this is about an average month in the present times. Last year the new work for which permits were received in January amounted to £12,500. The figures for last month include seven new houses, and if anything there is a slight drop in the average price. It is stated that a comfortable fiveroomed house can be built now for £750, this including the usual appointments. Allowing £250 for land, etc., the cost to the home-seeker would therefore be about £lOOO.
