u». llollslllgi Plan Shaping llp Swiltly

(By Douglas low)‘ UITAWA. July lM-(CM-A new attack on Canada's housing short- age is shaping up swiftly in the wake of action at. the recent ses- sion of Parliament to swing insur- ance and investment mpanies into a. program for pre-bonstruc- tion development of land on the fringes of cities and towns. Mai-Gen. Hugh A. Young. vice- president of Contra-l Housing and Mortgage Corporation, reported today that most of the major in- suranco companies were showing interest and already taking action under sn amendment to the Na- tional Housing Act which seeks to ease the shortage of serviced land wthat is. sub-divided plots on which sewers, drainage, sidewalks and other essentipls are ready for the rearing of homes.

Officials of the Government. Corporation said definite agree- ments so far had been made for areas on the outskirts of Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, St. Boniface. Man, Burlington, Ont, and Mount Royal. Que. Among other cities n which. negotiations were report- ed in varying stages of progress were Ottawa. London. Hamilton, Windsor. St. ‘Thomas. Ont, and Vancouver.

The step represents a scheme in which the Government co-operatcs with private firms to assemble and develop fringe-land surrounding cities and towns and even. some- times. within them; guarantees them a two per cent profit on costs oi development and has the final say on both purchase oi the land and its sale price to indivi- duals or firms who want. to build homes on it. ' With community planning bod- ies to be consulted and with other considerations. Gen. Young said it would probably be next year be- fore actual home construction be- gins to appear on the lots. Most. of it, he predicted. would be homes and not rental housing. At the same time. Corporation officials reported sharpened in- terest in the integrated housing plan because of another change in the National Housing Act which provides for larger initiall loans. less down-payment and a longer period in which to pay off mortgages.

The plan grants priorities to contractors who will lay dovm the cost price of s house to the buyer before the house is started. It is the opposite of speculative bulld- ing.

Meanwhile. officials of the Gov- ernment and Company were pm- ceeding with plans to re-supply the 40-odd northern trading posts and weather stations which the gallant Arctic veteran had failed to reach when she snagged on Table Rocks in Dorset harbor.

Last word from Cape Dorsetfs radio station said the ship was listing badly, her bow almost underneath the water and her stern high. The trip was the Nas- copieks 33rd after as colorful a career as that of any sea queen.

Post office officials held hope for her mail. Ail registered letters have been removed with the first evacuation, and although several attempts to board the ship in rough water had failed. it was hoped that other mail and small parcels could be removed before she breaks up.

Several wit- nesses all of them members of the ship's company, were heard and then July 29 was set as the date for defence argument over jurisdiction of the Quebec courts in a case arising from a death on the high seas.
