Two cars parked in front of the house were also badly dam- aged in the fire. LOST EVERYTHING This morning Mrs, J. S. Mac- Kay, mother of Fred MacKay, said that her son's family had lost everything.

AIS ANNOUNCED GEORGETOWN (CP) -- Guy- ana will receive assistance to- talling about $2,525,000 from Canada under Canada's 1966-67 external aid program, it was announced here Friday. This aid will be made up of approx- imately $930,000 in grants and about $1,620,000 in a long-term waiting period contained in the local air pollution bylaw re- garding industrial sources of pollution expired this month. The bylaw was passed June 1, 1964 and had a 90 - day wait- ing period before becoming mandatory. Dr. Watt says his department is still working on some prob- lems with industries, adding that he is optimistic of the out- Pollution Violators Could Be Fined $300 "The tendency is to wait," he "Industries are aware of this problem and I'm sure they will comply with the regula- tion." He. explained that air pollu- tion is not a problem solved overnight. 'Sometimes the remedy re- quires staging; prevention in some cases can cost $250,000 and this necessitates phasing of the cure over a period of time," he said. Traces of air pollution espe- cially exists in heavily indus- trialized areas and around apartment buildings with incin- come, erators, he added.

Road and the Macdonald-Car tier Freeway. The report shows a_ rib- bon commercial development stretching east-west along King Street and north-south along Simcoe Street with a fairly good concentration at the intersection of the two thoroughfares. The area is effectively divided into four quadrants by the intersection. The southerly . ribbon _ be- comes quite discontinuous south of John Street and is only "skin deep," intermixed with institutional and residential de- velopment. Considering the commercial development as being quite good at the core (where the east-west, north-south ribbons intersect), is based on the fact that 15 to 20 city blocks are almost entirely free of pesiden- post office and utilities are in- cluded in the area. POOR QUALITY The report indicates the qual- ity of buildings in the core area is generally poor or fair, due to old age and poor condi- tion Building height is rarely in excess of two stories and cover- age is low with much land wasted due to irregular shaped attachments at the rear of many buildings. The study reveals a much more efficient use of the land is- required in the downtown to "restore it as a strong central area and increase its desire- ability." Commercial development along Simcoe Street' South is hampered by on-street parking being prohibited and almost no possibility of off-street parking this section must park illegally on the street and risk getting parking tickets, the report states. This tends to impair the free movement of traffic which should not be necessary in such areas. INDUSTRY The north-east and south-east quadrants although predomin- ately single family residential contain the largest concentra- tion of industry north of the Macdonald - Cartier Freeway, with a total of 125 acres, sepa- rated into three quite large blocks.
