It was'carried out in ani amiable atmnos-" phere resulting in- a clear decision. Such meetings do bear fruit and in this case Orono, should be the benefactor. Both the Chamber and the Trus- tees do give leadership in the Village. Uhdertakings can, beaccomplished on an individual basis but mucb more can be done throush co-operation between the two bodies., It is to be hoped that this is the beginning of bet- ter tbVogs to come for Orono. WIIAT OTHERS SAY Th o sig Crisi During the recent federal election the problem of housing got into the eampaîgn speeches. This proves, of course that members of the new cabinet are aware of the needs for adequate bousing in this eouttry and it proves that since the building booms of the laVe 1940s and early 1950 we bave not learned to provide for those in.low- middle income braekets.i We bave seeii the eosts of lots going up. Now it is vogue for ail lots Vo be serviced with water, street light- ing, paved and storm sewered streets and ail other amen- eties. If the developer does the work according to pre- scribed rules he is entitled to a reasonable profit. If the municipality does the work then the new home owner must either pay in cash for the services or have the cost spread over the life of bis mnrtgage plus interest. Either way the man with a small family is up a- gainst rough times in finding accommodation. H1e is lucky to get a home ut ,der $20,000 which is a lot of money to commit oneself to. In British Columbia wbere there bas been, a shortage bsimilar Výo that in Ontarlýo, the government is giving lead- ersbip. The B.C. plan was to hold a contest for bousing designs that would provide homes at $11,320 for two bedrooms -and $12,000 for three bedrooms, botb exclusi ve of the lots. At going rates for serviced lots that would put B.C. prices in line with-those here. kBut having regard to the lots, and prohably crowding them together a bit, then bavîng a few basic designs rather than extravagant ones, it might be possible Vo bring the h1ousiJng cost down in many areas. Governments must work together to provide some of the amenities which will keep communities knitted and properous. We have overpriced ýourselves so much that tow we have to pay dearly for a place Vo live.
