TEE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO THURSDAY, SEPT. l9th, 1946 Govemument Housing Costs Compared- with Town Project Last week The Statesman's columans gave some prominence to local housing projects. An officiai statement was made on the municipal housîng on Veter- an's Avenue which was supported by an advertisement telling both the quality of construction and the'low cost of each complètè un- it. Another officiai story taken from Hansard told of the govern- ment's small housing project on Highway No. 2, just east of town. But the quality and price of the latter was not fully known when the story was written. Now it can be told after reading late is- sues of Hansard. Insure to Present Value THE HOUSE you built flot so many years back would cost you 30 to 50 per cent. more to buld today. Its value has gone Up. if it is insured to cover only its original value you may be dangerously uxderi nsured. Better talk this over with this agency. Stuzart R.

Smart Girls Always Carry Paradol in their Hiandbas The ow that Paradol will re- lieve te quickly of headaches, and other discomfort8, as Vell as help to, check colds. Qne girl writes,-"Until I used Iparadol every month 1 suffered ai- moat unbearable pains. It is the most quickly effective relief 1 bave ever used and there is no dlisagreeable after effect."l Dr h s ' ;PA RA D o For public information and as news of particular interest for returned soldiers seeking homes this present story will discuss the merits of both the above projects by way of comparison. First in regard to price. The town houses. fully modern, with ail municipal services, are offered to veterans "ýat a less than co5t price of $4,- 000" to quote last week's state- ment. The government houses on Highway No. 2, provided with Weiis and septie tanks, are of- fered to veterans, according to Hansard, at an average price of $6,000 on ternis and conditions set forth below. Second in regard to quality and finish. The town houses are com- pleted with plaster finish inside, wîth solid panelled doors through- out and in every particular are the equal of any modern con- struction. Interior finish in the government houses is classed as Gyproc with door panels of like material and other appointrnents not up to the standar dof the town housing. This comparison is fur- nished by an experienced inspec- tor after personal inspection of both projects. It should be noted that the contractors in both cases have carricd out faithfully their specificat ions. The engineer in charge of the town housing, in a signed state- ment last week makes this dlaim: Costs of the town houses are "lower than any comparable home value in Canada." On the ofher hand the Minister of Vet- eran's Affairs, Ottawa, states: "This veferan's housing is the most generous of any housing scheme in Canada." He instane- ed thrce factors; a $1400 writeoff; lower prices and the prospect of a further, overaîl writeoff under a million dollar grant f0 level off excess costs of construction. Let us examine these confiict- ing stafements. The town hous- ing is there for inspection and building inspector Fred Pattin- son will be glad to show prospec- tive clients righf on the spot that the dlaims made as to quality and price are ail that is claimed, the best value to be obtained. In- spection of the government hous- es is under jurisdiction of the District Office, Veferans' Affairs, Campbellford, Ont., but the state- ment of the Minister is found in Hansard, Aug. 15-16. Showdown For months, Charlie Stephen- son, Durham's M.P. pressedt the Minister for information on this governmcnt housing. He was joined by leader John Bracken who sought cosf figures for in- formation of veterans. Here is the Minister's latest statement: "Aotal of 2,706 of these small hligs are under construction across Canada, the mai ority yet to be complet cd. Average net cost complete for cach house at the moment is $7,058. Ail will be completed by October 31, 1946. Average sale price f0 veterans is $6,000 with $600 down,, balance paid as rent plus întemest, amor- tized over 25 yeams. A condition- ai grant of $1,400, will be given the veteran." Promises Durîng -the last election cam- paign the government told veter- ans these homes would cost about $4,800. Meantime they have been two summers and one win- ter building while the town hous- ing started about 5 months ago and shortly will ail be complet- cd. Meantime the government allocated a million dollars of tax- payers money to wipe out excess costs between' the $7,058 and the $6,000 present price quotation. Minister Howe first stated these houses would ail be ready Dec. 15, 1945; later if was changed to Sept. 15, 1946; now it's October 31, with littie hope of fulfillment. This brings the local situation up to date on the two housing projccts. The town housing is more than haîf sold with prefer- ence given veterans. Those want- ing any of the remainder are ad- viseed f0 get in touch with build- ing inspector Fred Pattinson, Town Hall, who will give ahl particulars as f0 individual fin- ance as wcll as whcn the emain- der will be rcady for occupancy. Fruits, Vegetables Best in Many Years Grocery and fruit stores in Bowmanvillc are now featuring an array of localiy grown fruits and vegetables of a size, color and quality scldom before seen in the memory of the editor. If brings out the point mcntioned in last week's Statesman, that crops in gencral this year have more than met early expectations. Many comments have been heard about this wealth of the soul of the grand old county of Durham. Store windows are a delight f0 sec with their banked arrays of luscious prodLicts. The merchants have so arrang- ed displays that a markcd con- tmast is apparent betwccn the fresh local produce and the citrus imports that look dccidediy in- ferior. Cut flowcrs provide a background before which arc po- tatocs, cabbagc, beets, carrots, cauliflowcr, cucumbers, squash, melons. Blended in the picture are apples, pears, piums, grapes and even locaily grown peaches. This sfory is toid largeiy f0 gîve expression to the deiight one fecis in living in suck, a grand county and to project this view of our farms and gardens for the equal delight of our readers wh.g live in distant places. Would that they *might be among us at this hap- py harvesf home geason. We should add that an early frost hàs already tipped the maple leaves with the autumn mcd and gold.

Copies can lie se- cured from the above branch, Parliament. Buildings, Toronto, or from Agricultural Representa- tives. Thcy may be had by con- tacfîng Ed. Summers. Potatoes may flot be too plen- tiful later according to present m eStimates although total yield ex- ceeds last year. Crops in the maritimes are below normal and there are heavy demands for ex- port to southern countries. Nor- mally the maritimes ship 3,500 carloads to Ontario but a falling off is expected this yeam. HcxAce prîces are expectcd to hold at ceiling levels. Butter prociucLion in August was down 15 per cent while quai- ity is higher. Dry weather was the cause but good corn and feed crops are expecfed to reverse the picture fhough recovery will be slow.
