INTO SHEFFIED

Effect Of Demand

For Steel

In four years Shefeld has dou- bled her output of steel ingots and castings to the remarkable re- card Agure for 1936 of 1,589,400 tona, and at the demand is mounting.

"Working round the clock" has became commonplace at most fac- tories and foundries. No skilled. workman in the main industries Is without a job, and in certain sec-. tions of engineering enough skill- ed men cannot be found.

"There is more money coming to Sheffield now than there has been. for 15 years." the manager of a large departmental store said; “but the boom is not showing itself In any sort of wild buying. There is every sign that prosperity for the working man nowadays means saving. He spends a little more on his amusements and on his home and garden, but the memory of 1932 still lingers."

BIG BUILDING PROGRAMME Nevertheless, on all sides one finds concrete expression of the new conЛdence. Plans are being considered for a huge, programme of civic building which will entire- ly transform the centre of the city. In the next five years Shemeld is to have a town hall extension, a new college of arts and crafts, a court house with a police head, quarters, and # new electricity centre, all grouped together to form a civil centre. comparable to that of Cardiff.

A £80,000 programme of mo- dernisation and Improvement is already under way at one of the chlef batels. It includes a new stone facade and entrance. a modernised banquet hall, lounge and baths and a complete renewal of equipment. Business at the hotel. I was told, had increased fivefold in some categories in the last two years.

A "super" cinema to hold 2,000 people is to be built at a cost of £70,000. In the shop windows costly furs and model gowns are on show, with, British Industries
