B8  7errace Review — Wednesday, March 6, 1991

Year starts with worst slump in
building statistics since 1983

If there’s a recession in Canada
it’s not affecting us, according to
some. The town is busy... business
is good. Still, recent building
statistics in Terrace have raised
questions among even the most
optimistic.

On his January 1991 report,
director of permits and licences
Bob Lafleur lists only one building
permit. This is for the installation
of some windows at Terraceview
Lodge and is valued at $1,700.
There are no residential units, no
other renovations, and no commer-
cial or industrial activity. Nothing.
Almost as though the city had
been closed for Christmas and
never reopened.

Last year during the same month
there were three single residential
starts valued at $364,880 and three
commercial renovations listed at
$52,800. This totals $417,680, or a
little short of 246 times this year’s
performance.

Comparison with 1989 is not

encouraging either. The value of Going back to the early 1980s |

permits that year was $72,000 and
in an economically leaner year,
1988, you'll find ihere was still

$21,000 worth of permitted work.

there is another such January, in
which the city only collected $23
in permitting fees.

City council decides
on aggregaie bidders

Terrace city council has decided
on both Far-Ko Contracting Ltd.
and Skeena Gravel Products as the
best choices to supply the city’s
1991 agpregate needs.

Far-Ko Contracting came up with
the best price for crushed high
fines surfacing (reject crush) and
well-graded base coarse aggregate
(spec crush) at $4.65 a cubic
metre, and selected granular sub
base (pit run) at $1 per cubic
metre. Skeena Gravel beat Far-Ko
on bedding sand, for which they

bid $.95 a cubic metre, a nickel
better than the competition.

Out of the contest altogether in
the tender call were B.G. O’Boyle,
Vic Froese Trucking and Terrace
Paving. B.G. O’Boyle was over
$5, Froese was close to $6 and
Terrace Paving bid around $10 for

the high fines and graded base. .

Bids by the three on sub-base
ranged from $1.49 to $3.81. And
for bedding sand, O’Boyle bid
$1.52, Vic Froese $1.57 and Ter-
race Paving a whopping $10.24.
