April Contracts 51 Level Top 19 'Total value of construction con- tract awards of $162,773,400 for the month of April was $16,042,000 above the $146,731,400 registered in April of last year. + Cumulative total for the first four months, according to MacLean Building Reports Limited, stands at $525,143,300 as compared to the cumulative for -the same period in 1951 of $603,981,800, or a drop in dollar value of $78,838,500. Engineering was the only type of construction to show a gain over the. period. With a total of $62,987.- 800, it was up $26,101,300 over last year. Apart from sizable gains in "sewerage and waterworks" and "roads snd streets" the big gain was in 'miscellaneous' and ac- counted for $18,213,800 of the over- all increase. The bulk of the mis- cellaneous engineering increase was localized in the Ontario section of the country, accounting for $19,- 041,000 of the total figure. April industgial construction fig- ures dropped $2,730,800 from last year and may indicaté a failure of the industrial expansion boom to continue at the peak levels of last year. | Compareative figure for eacs category in April, (1951 figures in brackets) follow: Residential, $42- 946,700 ($49,821,800), down $6,875, | 000; Commercial $44,612,700 ($45,- 066,100, down 400; Industrial $12,226,200 ($14,957,000), down $2,- 730,800; Engineering, $62,987,800 ($36886500) up $26101,300. It is perhaps significant of the frend in Canadian industry that the engineering type of construction is to the fore in all the sections of the country, showing gains over last year in three out of the four regions.

They can man the difference between escaping from a raging inferno or winding up as a statistic. Whether your house is old or ' | new, it should have firestops with- in 'any hollow walls. These are us- ually pieces of wallboard, gypsum lath or short 2 by 4's, placed hor- izontally between the studs at each floor level. Actually, fire-stops are barriers which prevent the fire from climbing straight up through empty spaces between the studing in the walls and so help to localize the fire long enough to enable the fire department to answer your call. While fire-stops are now manda- tory in modern house construction, there are still thousands of older homes without this fire-retarding feature. ¢ Unfortunately, it is generally impractical to have fire-stops plac- ed in existing houses as such an operation would require removing large sections of the walls. How- ever, even better results may be obtained by filling hollow wall spaces with mineral wool insula- tion--made from rock, slag .or glass. Mineral wool is widely re- cognized as an effective fire bar- rier by the majority of local build- ing codes. Being non-combustible, it will hold back the spread of fire for at least one hour, a rating required by the National Building Code. . The simplicity and low cost of installing mineral wool insulation, usually blown pneumatically into makes it suitabe for any house, regardless of age. The fact that loose mineral wool totally fills the empty spaces, gives it a three-fold advantage. Not only does it prevent the spread of a conflagaration through hollow HAVE LEAKS AND DRIPS GOT YOU DOWN?
