Tile next 10 years are the critical ones for housing in Canada, because it is 'during thecoming decade that the bumper crop of postwar babies will marry and form families. By `19$0, actor to the ex- perts, the press will ease aS a result of the o er birth rate of the Sixties. But this will be of little help to the nine provincial premiers = all except B.C.'s- W. A. C. Bennett — who will meet with fedreral authorities in Ottawa, Dec. 11. The conference was proposed, by Prime Minister Pearson to zero in on five problem zones: the current housing crisis; the outlook for the next five years; changes in the National Hous- ing Act; problems of the big cities in general; and plans to study Urban problems. The Government frankly ad- mits that the present housing crisis is getting worse; especial- ly in the metropolitan areas and adjoining` suburbs. • rre- ,. The Economic Council • of ` Canada says .190,000' new hous- ing units are needed annuafiy' to keep up- with population growth. The best we can expect this year is about 160,000. At that, it's an improvement on last year's -dismal 34,000 starts. Canada'sworst housing, crisis is in Toronto, where the price of the average house has in- creased -by one-third in the past five years to $30,000. These high prices, brought on by inflated land values (al- though there is still much va- cant land in Metro Toronto), and insufficient new construc- tion to keep up with demand, are forcing thousands of fami- lies to settle for permanent ap- artment living. - The lack of new construction has turned -housing into a sell- er's market. It is not unusual for homes to go for 25 percent More every'tune they're resold), and they're sometimes resold annually. If there is stidh a demand for housing, why have not more houses been built, thus keep- ing prieee at a reasonable lev- el? There are at least four main reasons L specul tion by which buyer have held land tracts long enough to force builders to pay astronomical price's for attractive locations, — A generally, antiquated industry which still 'puts housed together largely by• hand in- stead, of by muss production techniques which would bring down building costs: — Int:reased taxes,• potably the 11 percent federal sales tax on building materials. nu oklet Does Campy Baked.

This is why Ottawa had to boost NHA rates to --an 8 and one- quarter percent maximum, with the result that private .mort- gages will go to ten percent in some cases. H6using prices could no doubt be held 'in line if, for example, Canada could double its construction rate next -year to 320,000 new homes: But as desirable as this -might be,• the government would pro- batty not be anxious to see this done because of tthe.pressure it would put on prices of all sorts of other products. This is be- cause ne'ty homes and homeow- ners are tremendous consumers of durable goods, ranging all - the way from bathtubs. and stoves to washing machines, dryers, TV sets and furniture. This would fan the fires of in- flation yet more briskly, the experts. say. • While shortage of new hous- ing blights city life. in Canada, there is just me serious a prob- lem in small towns and rural Canada. In these areas, it is not that people have no place to live or must pay fantastic ap- artment rentals, but that too many families inhabit substan- dard, drafty, unattractive struc- tures••,..which are often little -m'ore than firetraps. If a government can -be, mea- sured by its success in housing its people, then the present one, must surely be indicted for colossal failure. .00 Will Lay -a -way a • RING FOR , CHRISTMAS AT SAVAUGE JEWELLERS (Opposite -Post Office) Hundreds to Choose Flom MINSOMMAWICA THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY ' Office -- Main Street SEAFORTH Insures: . • Town Dwellings • All Classes of Farm Props • Summer Cottages • Churches, Schools, Halls rtf Extended • coverage (wind smoke, water damage, falling objects, etc.) is alba available.
