ARTHUR RUNDLE For Houses Although the Ontario govern­ ment will offer no assistance for housing projects in Huron towns under present conditions, it will reconsider if any of the com­ munities attract a new industry. This was the reply made this week by the Ontario Department of Planning and Development to Huron County’s housing delega­ tion which interviewed the gov­ ernment in January, Not Valid Reasons In the statement, released by Tom Pryde, Huron MLA, the department said unwillingness of persons to build houses for them­ selves in the face of the high municipal taxes, or in inability of many persons to finance the cost of a new house, are not in them­ selves sufficient and valid rea­ sons for the Government agree­ ing to construct houses for rent. The department states that the criterion is the lack of prop­ er housing accommodation, such as overcrowding, lack of sanitary facilities, shared or substandard accommodation. Mr. Pryde was informed that is is possible that under the National Housing Act, with reduced down payments, and a longer period of repaying loans, many persons, who were unable to finance the building of a house, will take advantage of the better financial assistance and provide houses for them­ selves. Attract Industry The deputation suggested in January, that the provision of rental houses would be conducive to municipalities attracting new industries. This point apparently concerned the goyernment. Providing houses to attract in­ dustry would be unwise, accord­ ing to the minister, as it is prob­ lematical whether a municipality would be successful in its en­ deavour. “It is the department's con­ sidered opinion that if a muni- cipality^ should be successful in locating new industry in its area, the consideration for rental housing would be forthcoming,’’ he said. The sudden death of Bruce H. Rivers in South Huron Hospital Thursday, April 1, was a shock to his family and friends. He had been in hospital about l«l) days following a heart attack.
