By The Pedestrian

Tanking, assistant 'manager of the
Hamilton branch, stated that the'
Hillereat homeS had been appraised,
and the prices, had been set at
$6,100, $6,390 and $6,900 depending,
on the type of dwelling.
Once the price had beets named,•
the tenants Immediately indicated
that, In their opinion, the 4priee
were too high by as 'much as
$1,500 to $2,000,
Mr, Lapine explalaed that no
tenant would be forced to pur-
chase a dwelling, and that before.
the houses would be offered for
sale roughly 50 per cent of the re-,
sidents would have to indicate they
were interested in purchaaing. A,
show of 'hands at that point indi-
cated that nearly, all would be in-:
terested • if the price was brought'
into the $5,000 bracket but none
showed any interest in buying at
the suggested prices,
Mr. Lapine also said that if the
homes were sold the payments:
would be amorti,zed over ''a' 25-year
period, with, interest at 6 per cent.
The corporation would also in-
clude taxes in the monthly pay-
ments, which would range approxi-
mately from $48.00 to $53.00 per
month. Exact figures could not be
given as average taxes of $150.00
per year were being allowed for in
the estimate and the tax figure
could vary.
Over thirty veterans, all tenants
in the Hilicrest housing subdivi-

Purpose of the meeting was to
give the Hillerest residents first-

possible sale of the horims by Con
John W. Hanna, M P.P., lunched
last week 'with James S. Duncan,
chairman of the ;Ontario Hydro
Electric Power Commission, Na-
urally, one of the subjects under
discussion was the proposed erec-
tion of a nuclear power generating
Plant in the lakeshore area north
of Kincardine,
It was learned that approximately
450 acres of land have been taken
under option by the HEPC, The
site will in all probability be close
to the Lake Huron shoreline, for
tremendous quantities of water will
be required in the operation of the
generator. Total cost of the under-
taking will reach a possible $60
million.
The prospect of the power 'plant
this area of Western Ontario is
encouraging, for there will not only
be a big demand for labor and the
promised residence of the plant
staff after completion, but it wquld
appear likely .that the location of
„the. plant in the north-,western Go-
tario zone will tend to encourage;
the establishment of more industry
in this region, the last to feel any
sizeable result of the post-war, in-
dustrial 'boom which has done so
much for the economy of the Lake
Oatario belt.
