.Arctic Reconstruction To
Cost $220,000,000-
NEW YORK, N. Y.———The first
detailed survey of reconstruction
needs in the Nazi-leveled Nor
wegian provinces of North Troms
and Finnmark was recently placed
before the Norwegian Parliament.
According to these estimates, a to
tal of $220,000,000 will be needed
to restore these far-northern prov
inces. and a minimum of 10 years
will be required to complete the
job. Of the projected amount.
$144,000,000 is to be spent between
1945-50. Based on careful esti
mates from various Government,
provincial. and community de
pastments. as well as private or
ganizations, the survey is expected
to comprise the basis for more de
tailed economic studies in the
future.
Replacement of the 11,608 dWell
ing houses. which were burned or
blown up by the retreating Ger
mans in 1944. will cost an esti—
mated $61,734,000. Some 30 per
cent of these houses have been re
plaCed to date. and this portion of
the project is expected to be com
pleted by 1952. In addition. $11.

business buildings are to be built
during the ten year period. Of the

ings destroyed in 1944. 1045 per
manent and 4080 provisional re
placements had been enmpleted by
January 1, 1948. Farm buildings
alone will cost an estimated $14.-
520.000. Thanks to the special
stress laid on this phase of re~
building. it is already possible to
provide shelter for as many ani
mals as before the war.
