skuca said fven with local consider ations aside the home program is an inadequate and hastily conceived attempt to meet on tario s housing crisis he added answering mr skuce s attack jim snow the progressive con servative candidate in this nd- int said this is a ndiculoul show of the incompetence of th 1 iberals first theyre crying for more housing and that there n not enoush heing done and as soon as thev get wind that a homl proect is coming ib thev attack it as being a burd en on the taxpavers the pc standard bearer said hi hid heard the story about georgetown getting the next home

the scheme mr skuce s charge that homi proiect in georgetown wuuld be a burden to the town is almost too ridiculous to cotft ment on he said sure a de velopment as big as 1 000 homes mean more services it alway has and alwavs will home or am other kind of major devel opment is usuallv accompanied hv school building and exten- iion of other services but with more homes providing tax rev enue and the shoulders of a thousand more families to share the liad i cirt t see haw mr suce can fittd n thing t discredit in the plan to sav that home project would create a tat burden to to sav thit anv
