17. The volume of new building works coming under the jurisdiction of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance showed a considerable decline when compared with 1933 but the industry was nevertheless fairly actively engaged throughout the year on works mostly of small magnitude.
18. The total number of plans approved showed only a small decrease but works were largely in the nature of alterations and additions to existing buildings. The number of new buildings included in such approvals were appreciably fewer (see Table XIII).
