Robert Macau- lay, Minister of Economics and Development, for a survey to be made to find out to what extent there is a shortage of rental hous- ing for the lower income groups in Se'afarth, It is expected a survey will be made here in May or June. It will take about two weeks to complete the survey. Some idea of the ac- tual demand for this type of hous- ing will be determined. The resolution to ask for a sur• vey came following a conference by the ccunoil and others, with Be B. Bradley of the Housing Branch, . Toronto, the same even- ing. Mr, Bradley told council that the project was to supply suitable housing for families who had not over so much income a month. These families often had a num- ber of children and found it dif- floult to rent a house for • this reason, or for famines with chil- dren who for 'these reasons had never been able to accumulate enough cash for a down payment on a house. The project was far those who were unable to get adequate ren- tal housing, The rents charged are roughly 20% of the monthly income. A family with an income of $250 a month would pay about $50 a month, or $00 with $300 income. A phase of the survey is die- oussione with local leaders in the industrial, social and welfare fields to obtain their opinions and provide necessary background in- Parnnation on housing and wage structures, Determination of the effective demand tor such housing is sought by advertising in the local press for persons in need of it. The municipality is asked to bear the cost of advertising only. All other costs are met by the senior partners (the . provincial and fed - meta governments). The advertise- ment will ask residents who are interested in obtaining rental horsing to complete a coniidee- tial qu•estionnatre and return it to the municipal offices or other designated location, On completion of the survey the completed questionnaires are analyzed by the Housing Branch. The results of the survey will be presented to the municipal coun- cil, together with the recommen- dation on the type and size of project required. If, on the basis of the survey, the municipality considers that rental accommod- ation is needed, a resolution is re- quired asking the Federal -Prov- incial Partnership to consider the construction of a project' of the type and size they deem suitable tor the mitnictpality. Mr. Bradley said the policy was to be cautious about the number of units and usually about half the number indicated by the sur• vey were built. Mr. Bradley showed slides of housing put up all earths the pro- vince from Cornwall to Kenora. He pointed out they are good looking houses, individually de- signed, costing $9,000 t0 $11,000. Two to five bedrooms can be pro- vided. The houses are not pre- fabricated or ready -built, but have solid brick end wall. Pdsotures were shown of the well -finished interiors. Garages or carports are not built. It is not feasible to have less than ten units bat at a time. On receipt of a resolution re- questing a rental housing project, and.with the approval of the Fed- eral Minister of Public Works and the Ontario Minister of Econom- ics and Development, an agree- ment between the municipality, the Provincial Minister and Cen- tral Mortgage and Housing Corp- oration is prepared for discussion with municipal officials. If satis- faototy, it is then submitted to the municipal cannon foie formal approval. This agreement prov- ides, in general, for the follow- ing: Acquisbbion of the land by the Federal -Provincial partnership at its own expense' Planning of the subdivision by the Federal -Provincial partner- ship. The plan would be. submit- ted to the local municipal coon: oil for drub approval in exactly the same way as would apply to a private subdivider'e plan. The plan would be reg etered in the same way;. Water and sewer services for the subdivision to the edge of subdivision .provided by munici- pality. As regards the ousts of services within the project area, the part- nenehip generally operatee on the same baei'a es a prevalte subdivid- er. The municipality would bring necessary services, road, sewer and waiter, to the edge of the pro- ject area. Capital Costs The cost of a Public Housing Project is borne by the federal, provincial and munioipal govern - menta in the following propor- dons: Federal ,,.,,, 75% Provincial - 17?A% 1W:1111cipal VA% All capital costs are financed during the course of construction r ro enol 1 h Federal and P v a byte .

Amortization Terms The capital cost of a Public Housing Projeet is amortized over a period of 50 years at the inter- est rates in force at the time of signing the project agreements. Both the Municipal and Provincial shares bear interest at the prov- incial rape. Operating Surpluses or Deficits If the project operates at break- even or better, the municipality will recover its full investment plus interest at the provincial rate applicable in the agreement over the regular 50 year amo•ntlz- a'tbon period. At the end of the period, the muutcipalaty will have a 71/4% interest in the project, and should the project ever be sold or otherwise disposed of, the mumioipality would be entitled to 7:11% of the proceeds of sale. If the projeot should be operated at a loss, the municipality would, at course, 'bear 734% of this loss. Taxes . L.

THE LEGION CORNER 13y Jack Holland Well, comrades'end friends, we will soon be looking back on the month of March. Itis nice t0 see the snow leaving us, with a mini- mum of flooding, although I be- lieve that we'll get more snow yet. Conte what may. this Sat, nite - is the big one ter the young boys of the community when the Leg- ion holds its annual hockey nite with presentation of trophies and awards being the order o£ the day. All winter long these young fellows, from six years up, have been playing to an empty arena on Saturday mornings, so it be- hooves us all to go up there on Saturday night and give these lads a roar and a cheer. It will be a real boost to their morale, so let's all turn out to make this a real bang up evening, The Legion Ladies' Auxiliary provided lunch and Lee Learn donated chocolate milk for 128 hockey kids last Saturday. Oar hats are off to the fine effort by our Auxiliary. For the kiddies' sake I was happy to see three or four of our regular members ab- sent from this affair, because as a lot of us realize, if they had been there a great more luniob would have been necessary to fill-, the bill. Anyway, 128 kids were served across the counter. George Hays had a real enthus- iastic crowd at his last euchre and a good time was had by all. More power to you, George, ou your next one. By the way, comrades, our zone meeting is going to be held in. Seafor'bh April 8th. Keep this in mind as those meetings are most important. At present, let's all make an effort to be up at the arena Sat- urday night. Colne early as there are quite a number of games to play. In closing, a thought for one of our comrades, Joseph Dorsey, 'vho recently passed away, a man who was well liked and respected by all who knew him.
