Mr. Bradley, ofthe Ontario De- partment of Plaing and Develop- ment, is expected here. next week. He will survey the need for houses and much will depend on his re- commendations.

Mr. Pirie pointed out that care should be taken to co-ordinate these jobs to avoid a shortage ' of qualified local labor.
