Mr. Davis named Eli Comnay, 52, a Toronto planning con- sultant and professor of environmental studies at York University, as chairman of the Ontario Advisory Task Force on Housing Policy. Since the creation of the Ontario Housing Corporation eight years ago, the Province of Ontario has conslstently led the rest of Canada in' the production of socially- assisted housing. 4&Now we have arrived at the time to reassess our housing programs," Mr. Davis said. "One of the major roles of the task force will be to pull together the many housirig studies done at the national level and relate them to Ontario's programrs." The task force will examine "the current housing situa- tion in Ontario and report on the appropriate role of» the Ontario governmnent, in company with other levels of govern- ment, the business sector and private citizens." UNI VERSITY RESEARCH TEAM TO STUDY HIGH- VOLTAGE LUNES Ontario Hydro has commissioned -a research team fromi the University of Guelph to conduct a two-year study into the impact on the environment of high-voltage overhead transmission lines. An independent study has been ordered out of recogni- tion by Hydro that conservation groups, some local govern- ments anid other mnembers of the public have sometimes questioned the location of hîgh voltage lines, in particular the new 140 mile extra high voltage line being constructed between Nanticoke and Pickering, skirting north of Hlamil- ton and Toronto. The first phase of the projeet is expected to be com- pIe ted by the end of the year and will set out general guide- lines for the location of transmission facilities. A second phase will develop criteria applicable to specific routes while a third and fourth phase, to be completed by June 1974, will reassess earlier findings and integrate them into a final report.
