HOUSING: ACT EXPLAINEDI: ITS IMMENSE BENEFIT TO KING- STON AT PRESENT. First Pass Advantage Must Take Council to [The a By-law City of ft While the people of. Kingston are iting atiemly to see what the i nds to do regarding the housing situation, perhaps, very few who reals 1 rstand the Ontario Housing Ac which has been passed receatly in order to help municipalities to rovide houses for their citizens. A {brief summary of the prowisions of the act will theréfére be helpful, not jonly .to the citizens at large, but perhaps 10 the members of the hous- ing committee as well. The act, { which is cited as the Ontario Housing | Act, can only apply to muniei- |pativien which pass a by-law declaring that it shall apply. That means that | before anyone in Kingston can re- {eelve any benefit from the act the city council must pass a by-law auth- { orizing the city to act under its pro- visions, The first ten sections of the act deal with the borrowing of money from the provincial government by municipalities. This money may be i borrowed by the city council without obtaining the assent of the electors to {the by-law. It shall be repayable in twenty years, at interest which shall | not exceed five per cept. Neo part of this money shall be loaned to farm- | ers. | The administration of the act, af- {ter the by-law has been passed, is {handed over to' a commission ap- {pointed by the council. This com- {mission shall be a corporate body, land shall be composed of thé mayor | or head of the council and either two for four citizens, who shal not be { members of the council. These mem- bers must be residents of the muni- cipality, and théy shall hold office for twe years, with the exception of the mayor, who shall hold office on the commission only during his appointed members of the commis- sion shall, on the forming of the commission, be appointed for one year only, so that in later years one- half of the members shill retire each year, The members of the commission may be paid whatever re- muneration is necessary. By the provisions of the act, the municipal officials, such as the city engineer, assessor, architect, treas- urer, clerk and other officers, shall carry out the requests of the com- mission respecting any work which comes under their respective depart- ments. The woney borrowed from the government hy the corporation shall be paid out by the city treas- urer on the certificate or order of the commission. The treasurer shall keep séparate accounts of all money bor- "SYRUP OF FIGS" CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at Tongue!

Sections eleven and twelve of the act state very explicitly the power allotted to the housing commission It has power fo erect, on land which it may acquire within the municipal- ity, dwelling houses of a class sait- able for the accommodation of per- sons who bave seen active service during the war; and their families, or working men of moderate means, ex- cept that the cost of the house shall not exceed $2,500, and the cost of the land and the house combined shall not exceed $3,000. dn particular cases, the director of the housing act, has power to grant permission to erect houses costing $3,000, but in these cases the valme of the house and land combined must not exceed $3,600 y The commission may also make loans for the purposes of this act to a company which exists for the purpose of building dwelling houses. This loan shall not exceed eighty- five per cent, of the setual value of thé land and the houses as de- termined by the director. Private per: sons owning lots desiring to build a house for their own occupation, may borrow to the full extent of the cost of the house, and may borrow to the limit of $3.000 without counting in the value of the land. Other private persons may borrow. money to erect a house on land owned by the com- mission to the extent of the full cost of the house, provided he pays for the land in cash, or pays ten per cent. of the value of the land and the house, or can give satisfactory se- curity. Returned soldiers can bor- row money to build a house on land owned by the commission to the full extent of the value of the land and the cost of the house. This also ap-~ plies to widows and to widowed moth- ers of deceased soldiers. Payments on account of these loans thall be made by the commission to the company or individual from time to time during the progress of the work on estimates furnished to and approved by the commission. No loan shall be made upon any house or land which is situated outside of the municipality for which the commis- sion is appointed. The person to whom a loan is made shall become a purchaser {rom the commission under an agreement of sale for the amount of the loan made by the commission. The building scheme of any commis- sion or company must be approved by the director under the act, Houses ereeted by the commission Or a company may be sold by it to any person mentionéd in section elev- en of the act, 'which is explaived above, and shall provide for monthly payments estimated by the director as sufficient to pay the purchase money and interest thereon at the rate of five per cent. yearly at- the end of twenty years from the date of sale. Payment of interest on ar- rears shall also be at the rate of five per cent. yearly... The purchaser has the option of paying back the whole amount of the purchase money at any time during the term of agree- ment. The agreement may be can- called if default on payments con- tinues for three months. The pur- chaser must agree to, keep the house in repair and to pay taxes, local im~ provgsi1ent rates and insurance. All houses sold by a commission or a dompapy shall be sold at actual cost as determiped by the director under the act. This prevents any profiteer- ing by housing companies, Houses built under the act shall not leased or rented by the company of by the purchaser, except with thé approval of the director, unless the purchase woney or loan has been paid in full. The remaitider of act deals with the legal aspects of this legislation, and gives details of the provisions made for expropriations of land by the héusing commission. One import- ant clause states that no loan shall be made to any person, nor shall any house be remted or sold to any person who is not a British subject, The foregoing explains the act without the use of egal language of * Ontario | and shows that there is no possibility of loss to the municipality. » It also shows that no person livingsin Kingston can take advaatage of the act unless the city council passés a hy-law as required by men to deckde whether or not the people they represent are to be given an opportunity to take advantage of this legislation. In their hands lies the remedy for-the present criti cal and damgerous housing situation. It is needless to detail the situation 'here, for every citizen who thas been Mn In tough with conditions as they af- fect working familes, and the hun- dreds who gave vainly sought homes, know well that it is next to mpossi- ble to secure a hoyse at a moderate rental which will provide sanitary, with hemlthy surroundings in a con- genial 1 ty at the present time. the ¢ity power to remedy these condi- big demand amongst worki men and returned soldiers for a by-law etiabling them to bénefit by its provi- MRS. NEWHALL ON E VERGE OF DESPAIR Oshawa Woman § Says She Is Feeling Fine After Tak- ing Tanlac. "Tanlac was the only thing that gave me andy relief, and I am con- vipced that it is the right medicine for people in the condition I was in," said Mrs. Elizabeth Newhall, of Osha- wa, Opt, recently. "I had been in a general "rundown condition for over a year," she con- tinued, "was extremely nervous. had no strength nor energy and the least Httle exertion would so exhaust me that I would feel real faint. 1 ached all over and felt half dead all the time. had no appetite and would skip meal after meal.

Two hundred and thirty) years after Christ the Germans in- vaded France. They were beaten. They swore they would never do it again; twenty years later, another invasion, another defeat, , another} solemn pledge "never again." In 74S A.D., the Rhine basin was invaded by the Germans; in 275 north-eastern France; in 301 Langres was pillaged. | The invaders were beaten and they swore 'never again." In 351 they re- conquered the left bank of the! Rhine; im 3564 they devastated Lyons; in 360 Besancon; in 364 they invaded and plundered Belgium. Here is the chronology of the sub- sequent invasions: 272, 383, 400, 410, 413, 800, 858, 978, 1124, 1214, 1513, 1521, 1528, 1536, 1544, 1552, 1668, 1567, 1569, 1576, 1587, 1636, 1674, 1675, 1707, 1708, 1744, 1792, 1793, 1814, 1815, 1870, 1914. Thir- ty-three invasions in a little over fif- teen hundred years, an average ot | one invasion every fifty years, Whenever they were successful the Germans celebrated with unspeak- able atrocities. Whenever they were beaten they swore they would nevgr do it again. Le Matin, which prints the above statistics, recalls that three days be- fore the outbreak of the world war Herr Haase, the German Socialist leader, solemnly declared at Brussels that Ahe German proletariat would oppose war to the utmost. Three days later Herr Haase voted for the war budget. Four and a half years ago the Germans = again invaded France, Again they were beaten. Amd now they swear they' will never do it again.
