REVIVING CONFIDENCE
ENCOURAGING INDICATION IN AUCKLAND Pres? Assneipf'j>v Auckland, Jan. 3. An encouraging indication of reviving confidence is given by the building statistics of Auckland City and adjacent districts for 1533. The aggregate value of permits issued showed an increase of almost 13 per cent, on the figures for 1932. Comparative totals for the 17 districts word;, £455,577 in 1933 and £403,737 in 1932. The building trade has been in the doldrums for several years, There were sharp declines in'the.- figures in 1930 and in 1931, while.the, 1932 returns approximated’ very closely ‘to those of the previous year*. In view of the fact that 1933, particularly the first half, was generally accounted a difficult year, the margin-«.of increase is surprising. The Unemlpymeijt Boardjs building subsidy doubtless contributed to the revival of the trade, which had felt the effect of the depression to a greater extent than most others.
