In an exhaustive | report which he has just issued, he tells of the operations carried. out this year, and predicts that the de- partment of the government responsi- ble for housing expects to have at least four thousand houses erected in Ontario during 1920. In his re- port there are several interesting passages. He says: "Not a little of the success of the Ontario Housing Scheme is due to the fact that the widest possible choice has been given the prospective build- er in the selection of his style of home. This refers particularly to the exterior of the building. The in- tereior may not vary to any great ex- PUBLIC OPINION The Goops.

(Columbia Record) Labor wouldn't find it so hard to make bargains if it didn't find it so easy to break them, tent; but the government experts Have prepared many plans for the exterior. This avoids the danger of erecting a long line of houses identi- cally the same in appearance. Inel- dentally it helps tu keep up the value of property, because a prospective purchaser wants something just a little different from his next door neighbor... = "a "Our limit is $3,000 for frame, stucco or brick veneer and $4,000 for a house of solid eonstruction, that is, of solid brick, stone, hollow tile or concrete, These were the limits fixed by the Act when passed last March. Since then st has been found that the cost of comstruction has increased by at least ten per cent., amd perhaps fifteen per cent, all over the province. However, taking this into account, I think the only change necessary is to make a loan of $3,600 for brick veneer, leav- ing the other limits as they are. The keynote throughuvut hasybeen to get the best of everything whith the minimum of cost to the builder. New Toronto is just finishing sixty houses of solid construction, which are cost- ing not more than $3,200 or $3,300 each. Port Credit has also a number of six-roomed houses of solid con- struction, costing them about the same price." This extract shows that there are great possibilities in the scheme, If houses of this type can be built in other places at these prices, why can they not be built in Kingston at the same figure ? + The <¢ost of labor in the neighborhood of Toronto is high- er than it is here, so that this item popular in thé United States as he did in Canada.

THE EXECUTION OF LOUIS RIEL | On November 15th, 1880 in Regina, then of the North West Territories Louis Riel, leader of the revolt of 1870 and also of 18806 in the North West, was hanged: thus on the scaffold «nd- ed his vision of upsetting the consti-| tuted authorities of the land. For nearly twenty years hd had been a storm centre in Wester Canada, from the time he started the first rebellion he was a constant trouble, On the twenty-first of October 1869, a detach {ment of his men had erected a barri cade across a narrow pass near Stirk- ing River, Manitoba, and had refused to allow any to pass except they bore the permit of Riel, thei® leader. They confiscated, too, the arms sent into the land for the use of the new Lieut- Governor, the Hon. William Maec- { Dougall. On Nov. 3rd Riel took a bolder course by seizing Upper Fort { Garry. This he accomplished without any resistance marching through the gate into the fort at the head of 125 half breeds. Three days later the few i English in the district, who had g 'ne fon guard over the stores of the) | authorities, were made prisoners after! thaving negotiated surrender with the {rebel. The prisoners were locked up lin a little room of the Hudson's Bay Company. Twenty-two prisoners were ecnfined in a room 22 {eet long and sixteen feet wide. There they remsin- | ed for sixty-nine days. But for the ikindness of some friends who manag- {ed to steal through the lines of sent-| {ries and bring them a little food, they | would have starved to death. As it] {was many of the things destined for {the prisoners were stolen from the! baskets while among the. rebel ' half {breeds.
