During the meeting it was pointed out to council that the landiord of a trailer park is virtuaiiy a dictator over the people who become tenants there. The lease used by one of the largest developments of this typein Ontario reserves the right to cancel the lease on three months notice, if local politicai conditions become intolerabie. Although the trailer owner is purcbasing bis own unit, he stili must rent his lot frorn the developer, who in most cases imposes a lease wbhich gives the developer complete control of every- thing wbich takes place within the camp. According to an article int the Consumer Reports Maga- zine for July, 1973, people have been charged fees, varying from $250. to as much as $2700. in the U.S.A. just to get into or out of sucb developments. These are tbe so-called entry and exit fees. Also in the U.S.A. tbe developers have used these restrictive leases to harrass people into vacating Erected on your foundation, plumbing, heating, wiring, carpet, etc. Write for FREE CATALOGUE: 1176 Blair ýroaSite AfulngoOtrl 7-K Phone (416su639-411 vemn ns - Toronto (416) 457-4593 their lots to increase the turnover, the subsequent pro-, fit frorn the sale of trailers. Wbat bas bappened in the States can very easily happen here if we let it. t was pointed out tbat the key drawback to purcbasing a trailer home is depreciation. Tbe day you buy one it irnmediateiy loses a quarter of its value, and each year its re-sale drops another 5 percent to/ 10 percent. Carried to, its conclusion, it wouid be possible that, in 20 years, the value of these trailers would be negligibie. Recent legisiation brought in by tbe Department of the Environment wiil crack down on dereiict cars in the Pro- vince. What is going to happen in a number of years to the * derelict trailers? t would be a mistake to consider living in a mobile home park to be a form of iow cost housing. Such things as entry fees, exit fees, charges for having people to stay for any length of time, charges -for having pets, land rentais which the landiord could increase from year to year, expensive financing, and many other expenditures in- crease the cost of this type of housing without the freedom found in conventional housîng. With afl these extras, montbly expenses and payments could be more than those required in more conventional, housing. At the last council meeting it was suggested that the num-, ber of scbool cbiidren should be kept to 20 percent - 25 percent. This would mean approximateiy 70 mobile homes wouid have chiidren attending school. Usin g the accepted figure of 1.5 chiidren per borne in estimating the number of school cbildren witbin this mobile borne park we corne to the figure of 105 cbildren based on 350 units. Ahl the revenues tben received frorn tbe mobile home park wouid not cover the education costs invoived even frorn the time it was establisbed and certainiy as, the assessment goes down along witb the depreciation of tbe mobile bornes it can be easily seen tbat more of tbe tax burden would bave to be borne by other residents of Manvers. Tbese estimates are based on recent approxirnate costs per pupil of educating secondary and elernentary'-children. t was again pointed out that the people in the area are very worried about the- level of water in their wells and also wbat pollution would occur to the well-water and. surface water from this watershed from the sewage facilities that pared to May, according to a report from the federal de- partment of manpower and immigration. A high level of construction activity in Oshawa was cre- dited with part of the improve- ment. Last montb there were 3,040 maies ýand 3,742 females registered with Manpower centres. This represented a drop- of 330 maies and an increase of 75 fernales over Mays figures. Manpower reported a short- age of skilled tradesmen, but there are openings in various mechanical servicing capa-, cities. The large surplus of truck drivers listed with the centre earlier this year has been depleted,. the report said. would be. necessary' for this density of people, flot to mention the fact that the natural beauty of the area would be serlously threatened.
