The Province of Ontario hast ken the matter up, and now has plans under way whereby municipalities can get loans from the Province for housing schemes. Ontario's portion of the Federal loan will be $8,781,000, and together with thetwo million dollars the Province is providing will make over ten million dollars. Th a The loan is to be made at a 5% rate which will mean a big saving to the workingman who builds his own house. The advantages to the workingman @re not to be measu*ed by the one of two per cent. difference in interest charged by private lenders. \ ! 1 The annual repayments on 8 lan of $3000 at 57, for twenty ment) would be about $20 years (the time stated by the Go amonth. As sonfe have put it, this would mean a saving of about $65 a year to the working on a 3$000 house or about fe per cent. on the total of a house, and will go a g way to counteract the present high cost of building. Persons paying the money ini periods of less than twenty years will naturally pay less in the end as.the total amount to - be paid in interest will be smaller, - The chief responsibility for 8dministration of ' the actual building will fall on the municipality, as the loan has to be * taken first by the Municipal Housing Committee, they to lend the money and see that it is administered wisely. To come within the provisions of the housing bill as pass- ed by the Ontario Legislature, the Municipal Council must pass a by-law, and appoint a commission composed of the head of the Council and two or four other persons, who are not members of the Council. This commission will have all powers with regard to the Housing Act which the Council otherwise : would have had. ' The loan will be made through the local commission to private persons, owning building lots, who desire to erect houses for their own occupation. The whole or any portion of the loan may be paid off at any time. The Ontario Legislature intends to pass a bill at the com- ing session, so that the municipalities can avail themselves of the provisions of the Act atonée® Mr. J. A. Ellis, Toronto, a member of the Ontario Municipal and Railway Board, has been appointed as a Director of the Municipal Bureau. "AT REST" When the sum of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's life is totalled, the noblest tribute that could be paid to him is this-- he made a place for himself in the affections of the people, and His strength was as the strength of ten because his ge was pure." And what a strength he had, serving his country at an age when To many life is nothing but a burden. He served his country faithfully through a long period of years, and added to his joys and to his span of life by giving himself freely to the service of his fellows. He neither grudged the service he gave, nor grew proud because of the distinction he had won. The friendship of his follow- ers sweetened his life, and opposition did not embitter it. Caricature and opposition were simply part of the price that had to be paid as he forged the bonds of unity between the two great races in "Canada, or mended the links in the chain. of friendship which ruthless hands have snafQ®@ And so his spirit unafraid passes beyond our ken, and we pray that Canada may have other sons like Sir Wilfrid Laurier, elwas authorized, upon request' Prospect We are sorry to know that Mr. land Mrs. Mitchell and family are moving from this neighborhood o as they certainly will be missed. .{ We wish them every success in new home at Seagrave. you and Mr. Mitchell and family.
