insurance a mutual company with 117 years experience strength and service unexcelled may 1950 be a year of health happiness and opportunity at least it is a new page and chal lenges us all to avoid the errors of 1919 i have been fascinated by the rapid growth of the suburban areas of toronto but in this article i am going to deal with only one which lies wholly within die constituency of york east namely scarboro scarboro has been gaining in population over a number of years from 1912 to 47 the percentage increase in population was 318 in the year 1919 the population increase was just under 10000 persons and the industrial develop ment is unbelievably rapid not only that but three enormous housing projects are lined up for 1950 and the assessment in 1919 increased by 250000000 reeve o b crockford is a dynamo of energy and has done a magnificent job as is attested by his acclamation his pay is in sat isfaction certainly not in dollars but it is a romantic thing to see a city spring up under your eyes where only fields were before last year i wrote an article on the development in industry in york east generally so that now i am speaking of the industrial development in 1919 in the town ship of scarboro the skf of sweden has purchased a thirty- nine acre plot and have begun to build the first unit which they have estimated will cost two million dollars and they plan to commence production in july 1950 the pilkington glass company has purchased thirtythree acres and lare beginning the construction of a plant which will cost three million dollars the lillycup man ufacturing company have acquired thirtyfive thousand square feet and expect to begin construction this spring quaity records have twentyfive thousand square feet on birchmount avenue and are just ready to operate these are just four of the twenty new indus tries that have come in the last year vhat was the great firm of gen eral engineering that manufact ured explosives during the war is now a centre for a number of the smaller factories and businesses as well as emergency housing for the city of toronto which is rented by the city from the fed eral government a part of it has been purchased by scarboro and made into a very commodious and wellequipped municipal building one of the things that intrigued me as i drove through was the sinnott news distributing centre for all canada already enough workers are at the old geco plant to line the roads with cars and when the emergency housing ends if it ever does many more buildings will be available for commercial or industrial use with all this activity houses for the workers and others and their families are essential the mort gage loan investment corp have purchased land from scar boro and beginning early in the spring to build seven hundred and fifty houses sixteen apartment houses of eight or ten suites each between dawes road and pharm acy avenue two other companies are building houses and apart ments one sixty
