Newcastle Works Director Jack Dunham said last week that the town's 1978 subsidy from the provincial government totals $1,066,000. He added, that the province has allocated $670,000 for maintenance and $396,000 for construction. Mr. Dunham told the town's public works committee that this repre- sents an increase of $130,000 over last year's grant. That amount, means a hike of approximately 14 per -cent, commented Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard.'

During a speech delivered to about 175 municipal planners, consultants and other officiais gathered for a workshop on housing at the Oshawa Holiday Inn, Mr. Rhodes said that revisions were in store for planning procedures., "I believe it has become more and more apparent to all, the province, local government and the industry itself, that we must in the future develop new and better procedures of forecasting housing needs, hie said. Mr. Rhodes said that the govern- ment served an essential role in the housing, industry in encouraging developers to build homes for average and low-income families. "Private sector advocates may not necessarily agree, but I believe it is a matter of fact that thousands of people in Ontario would not be in decent, affordable, accommodation today, if the provincial government had stood idly by and let the free enterprise mechanism decide who could and who could not afford to own their own home," hie said. Without provincial assistance, many senior citizens and low- income families might not have reasonable accommodation either, hie added.

PHON E 579-8202 -683-9051 The housing minister, however, also criticized both provincial and municipal governments for implementing planning restrictions that created obstacles to the housing industry. "When a community imposes excessive lot levies, or time- consuming, highly technical ap proval procedures, ail of these add to/the cost of home ownership, he said. Although municipal governments expect developers, to bear the burden of high land servcing standards, the cost is incorporatedt into the marketed price, he said. Noting that government should begin easing the plannine process and tough land servicing, Mr. Rhodes pointed out that recom- mendations of the committee reviewing the planning act were nearing completion. The recommendations, which will be released in 1979, will update the planning act to reduce government restrictions and, eventually, the cost of housing, he explained. "I want to make certain we have reaiistic working guidelines that mirror the changing1 nature of Ontario society as we move into the 2lst century." The fluctuations within the field of housing, he added, brings to our attention the essential need for a much better system'of forecasting and planning our needs."
