PWENTY-FIVE HOUSES NEEDED. The public meeting held in the council chamber Monday evening to discuss the House -Building problem' was a well attended and representa- tive one. Mayor Gibbings presided and In a neat speech emphasized the need of more houses. The number ' is now only adequate for our present butal population, 1 ourr industries are extending and for the large additions to their employes we` have no ade- quate accommodation. For the con- tinued welfare and prosperity of our town it is up to us to supply the demand, Manager Clint of the Piano and Or- gan Company said the past: year was ,-this very -best in the whole' history of the industry. Their sales has in- creased over 860,000 and even then the demand was not' by any means suppeled. We are now extending.: We have, ' in addition to our usual out- put begun the manufacture of Player Pianos, being the only Company in Canada to do so. We will require more floor space and more men. But we are hampered, I am sorry to say, because of the lack of .su:ttable" dwel- ling houses for our men. President Craig of the Motet Car Company was in Toronto attending the Automobile Shows but wrote .Mayor 'Gibbings expressing bis ap- proval of the object of the meeting, He said the Company expected to double the number of its employes within the next year -and the men to be brought in would be skilled, high- priced mechatitics who are accustomed to living. in houses with modern con- veniences and are able and willing to pay the necessary rental, 01 course, said the President, 0 we Cannot. comfortably house these hien that will be a drawback which will; im- pede us lie our growth. Mr. Craig suggested the formation of a com- pany to build bouses' for' rental or for sale., Secretary Brown of the Knitting Company ' said : Last year we in- creased our output by about twenty percent, and so far this. year our output is much ahead of. the `cor- responding • period of 1911. ', If we coutd get the help we would at owe double the number of our employes and then _double it again as' soon as. we could get the people to operate our machines.. We know that the shortage ` oaf houses ' interferes with our development, •slot so direetey as that of the Motor and Piano Com- panies but still to such an extent that we would,gledty see. the House - Building problem worked out) to ,a successful conclusion, • Mr,,,T. Jackson, Jr, said : If we can get twenty houses built this sea- son every one of them will bo 'filled and more will be wanted. "We. have been • encouraging manufacturers to locate In Clinton ; . now what is al- most equally important we musts pro- vide aoeornrnoda-,Ton for their men. With •new houses we grow, without we can't, of that there 13 no doubt. Our manufacturers have their money invested' in their factories and are doing their best for the good of the• town, but there are others whose money is not so tied up who would reap better results by investing ill modern houses ' than in mort- gages or, depositing• in the banks and postoffice. Mr. ' J. S.
