free half frozen Tommie who His Winter Project ls Low Cost Houses ray DIPLOCK Examlncr Staff erter Winter construction of hous cs an almost unheard of thing in Barrie is now pro ceedingon site at the corner of Wellington Streets There under the db rection of Ha id Moore lo fch are are being erected six basementless hous es each with three bedrooms which when completed will sell for approximately $10000 each including land That in itself is big achieve ment considering the high price of modern dwellings but more important is the fact that being undertaken in the winter months the project will help materially in relieving unem ployment in the lding indus try it will also the subsi di ics engaged the produc tion of building material and Berczy shelter built of ply Vod and completely enclosing the house was found to be tho most sat isfactory and economical as all the materials can be used in the construction of the finished houses The only cost then was for labor erecting and dismantl ing and this is shared by the subcontractors The general contractor is Mr Wm Jubb of Toronto who is moving to Bar rie and local labor and sub trades are employed Considerable encouragement has been given to the project by Colonel Cooper of the National Employment Service And how has it come about th of to now possible to build in the city in the depth ter The answer is to he in the provision of shelt in which muchof the work requiring protection from the °wcather can be done This it is limed does not add per ce iver to the cost of build ing Mr Moore says winter con struction has the advantage of being practical and economical Past experience has been that because of its peculiar lo cation weatherwise the Barrie construction indinry crawls in to its igloo from December to April More snow fallson Barn rie than Toronto but average temperature difference is only degrees Wintei construction is being carried out in other parts of Cdnada Mrs Moore points out Materials vulnerable to frost are anything containing moist ure including the human body Antifreeze or protection is used for materials warmth and shelter for the human body thus eleminating the argument of inferior wonkmanship Last winter Mr Moore stud7 les the design of low cost home within the salary bracket of the average wage earner This fall the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation was approached and through their local office direct loans for six houses were datained the banks having used up their al lotment of funds for the year This money was made avail able by the government to en courage winter construction SHELva PRDVIDED Cold weather set in before the concrete and masonry work was completed which meant the provision of shelter through the cooperation of Earrie subcontractorsthis cost was shared Labour Skilled tradesmen are available and because they are interested in workingall winter they do not ins strictly adhering to their par ticular trades but will turn their hands to any work at reduced wage if necessary The quality of workmanship is better because there is no the drive which occurs in the first break of Spring weather when contractors have many jobs to commence Contracts for Mr Moores houses were awarded at the be ginning of September when it was expected the work vulner able to frost would be com pleted before the cold weather This however did not happen as winter arrived earlier than anticipated Notwithstanding this fact the contractor has not required any extras and does not foresee the need for COST As to the shelters lidr

advantages have been discov ered in winter building pro jects through the research of architects and builders in Can ada and the United States and is of the opinion that other industries might mssibly
