BUILDING FELL OFF LAST YEAR

Total for 1920 Was Less Than Three Hundred Thousand Dollars

[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 4 January 1921]

The building report for December has just been received and exceeds that for December 1919. The reason for this is that a great deal of repair and improvement work has been going on this last month. There was only one dwelling built and that one was erected on Major Street. The figures for last month were $4, 045, in comparison with December 1919 which were only $350. For the total year 1920 permits amounted to $299, 420, in comparison with 1919, which were $369, 235. It will be noticed that there is a considerable decrease for the total year 1920.
