MAKING A CITY.

WHERE! THE MONEY GOES. > RECKONING MILLIONS CANBERRA, Oct. S. Canberra, has cost something over £7,000,(XX) to date. Parliament House, which is “temporary,” although it will last for aho-ut 75 years, took a big slice out of the amount. Then there- are the two secret a ri-at 'buildmgs, five hotels, three guest houses, anj two bachelor establishments.

In addition. there are complete water, sewerage and electric schemes, a. good roads .system, stores, garages, a power house .and other public public buildings. One of the- biggest items was the building of hundreds of cottages for Government servants taking part in the transfer-’ from Ale 1 bourne. During the next year £2,000,000 will be sent, but there- are many big works' contemplated.

No doubt the- greatest of these will he the permanent administrative buildings. the cost of which, when completed and furnished will; exceed £1,000.000. That, however, is looking three years ahead, amd this olie building will not absorb half the estimates diurimr the coining year. The national war memorial is to be started, however, .and many minor schemes, will absorb' smaller sums. The Cemission's job is a big one, but it will 'be tacklej in a- determined' manner. straight away.
