    file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY to MALTA PROPERTY REPORT. Appendix I
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TO MALTA PROPERTY REPORT. Appendix I indicates that affordable residential property in the Maltese Islands with a capital growth rate of 7.1%pa over the past 20 year period has doubled in price every 10years, with plots doubling in value every 5 years over the same period. Table 6 shows that the housing affordability index HAI has improved from 74 in 1992 up to 77 in 2002, after having dipped to 65 in 1997 for a 3-bed/r affordable apartment. The same may be said for a 2-bed/r apartment with an HAI of 111 increasing to 116 over the period 1992 to 2002, after having dipped to 92 in 1997. Measures taken over the immediate 5-year period appear to have stabilized the growth of the affordable property market. However, looking into the growth rate for the period 2001-2002 standing at 5.4%, whilst for 2002-2003 presently standing at 12.3%, this may indicate that the property market is again to be subjected to a price hike unless measures taken, outlined in this report are taken with immediate effect. Table 1 of Appendix II dealing in commercial property indicates that warehousing rental values stand at 66.66% of the European average, office rentals at 27% of the European average, with retail outlets rentals standing at 8 ¼% of the European average. The low rental value of Maltese retail outlets as compared is understandable due to the limited turnover of outlets is understandable, as also is the comparable warehouse rentals being at 2/3’s of the European average should be of no cause for concern.
