MATAMATA'S PROGRESS
BUILDING STATISTICS [from our own correspondent] AIATAMATA. Friday Building permits to the value of £1)484 were" issued by the Matamata )orough Council during the year ended December 31, 1935. Thirty-seven permits were issued, of which 16 were for residences and two for new business premises, the remainder being for additions. The total value of the permits issued is £2OOO less than in 1934, but in that year two business blocks cost•mg several thousand pounds each were mciuded. The demand for houses still exceeds the supply, and many more residences are required.' . ' An indication of the progress of Matamata is shown by the fact that 15 •new shops have been added to the business .area within the past two years, and the building of others is contemplated in the n'ear future.
