miles away there is little class distinc tion in acton most people are in the same circumstances fin ancially and he disparity in wagos between those who work in and outside the town is balanced by commuting costs an acute housing shortage made worse by the reluctance of the morlgage companies to release money in 1968 has pre vented many people from estab lishing homes in the town and district signs at this writing point to a relaxation in light money restric tions and it is gulte likely there will be plenty of housing within the next few months unfortun ately much of this will be beyond the reach of the average wage earner however the ontario housing commission has made plans for low rental housing units to be erected in acton as well as units for senior citizens this also could help solve the housing shortage and provide sheller for those in the low income brackets who cannot afford subdivision houses the population of acton rapid ly approaching the 5000 mark protection is thai it will nach 7000 within the next five years important factors which could influence the course of actons development in the next few years the extension ol the government sponsored go tran sit system which is presently under study also expansion of highways in tho acton area plans are already afoot to rebuild no 7 highway between acton and georgetown but it is quite possible further highway development will influence devel opment in the area planning will also have a pro found effect on the future of the town and district much of the responsibility for actons growth wlu depend on the
