Page 4â€"â€"The Times, Thursday, August 16, No home ownership priority home ownership in parâ€" ticular might have a higher national priority if more Canadians showed that they were as prepared as their parents to sacrifice to own a home, William Allan, president of the Toronto Real Estate Board, suggested in a recent speech, to the Metropolitan Hamilton Real Estate Board. Mr. Allan told fellow realtors that there must be a great upsurge in the production of new housing if the rising price spiral is to be checked.

Allan told the Hamilton â€" Board _ that organized real estate must face realistically the fact that in promoting property ownership realtors will be talking about something that might appear at least temporarily to be out of the question for many people. Part of the problem comes remember what the market was like in the early fifties. Houses were scarce and it took a lot of scraping to buy even a modest house at $9,000 or $10,000. Prices did go well above that but thousands of families did buy. They scrimped and saved and did without luxuâ€" ries, Are their children capable of establishing, such priorities in the handling of their much larger incomes?‘ Today‘s prices are three times as high as 20 years ago, Mr. Allan conceded, but in comparision with the early fifties incomes are huge. Many families have two incomes.

People in organized real estate have always been as interested in good communities and good neighborhoods as many of today‘s soâ€"called reformers. And their clients have unâ€" derstood and still understand what makes good comâ€" munities. They can readily size up the good qualities or the notâ€"soâ€"good qualities of "Community and neighâ€" borhood are two words that have taken on special significance. No one but the new wave of reformers and activists is supposed to know what they mean, current theory would have you believe. This just isn‘t so. _ "A widespread attitude in these times, affecting political, social and business organizations alike is the belief among soâ€"called reformers that no one before them ever got things right. If you believed everything you hear from reformers, you would have to assume that no politician except the very newly elected has any concept of the issues and no institution without citizen or community or people‘s in its name could possibly make a worthy contribution to society. Mr. Allan predicted that realtors will find themselves carrying on business in situations characterized by increasing government involvement in the marketplace, by public reaction to government activity and by public reaction to business. He saw the most effective real estate boards pursuing the role of reconcilers in these areas of conflict. to design and variety in apartment â€" construction. Dissatisfaction resulting from that situation must be contributing to the scramble for houses today. ® Choice of 1,500 colours e Moneyâ€"back guarantee ® Driveâ€"in service Open Saturdaay A.M. 3775 Dundas West , Est. 20 yrs. 767â€"6162 ® Factory to customer ® Custom quality paints & Wholesale prices from the fact that more and more people want to live in cities.

The public is entitled to predictability in civic government, he said. City council was wise not to turn _ towards unâ€" predictability. Civic adâ€" ministration deserves the support of all who are in a position to help to make it work, not foolish attempts to create a new system out of spare parts from task forces, review panels, citizen committees and an assortâ€" ment of control devices that could make municipal government a farce." see no reason to direct public money to the support of what could become a pretentious network of organizers and critics that could eventually claim so much power that it could be considered a sort of alternative government.
