likely to affect the vol ume of taxes raised they may in minor instances shift the burden from one neck to an other in general the people of canada cannot hopefully look for a budget which will alleviate the present tax bur den the government no doubt will endeavour not to raise in come taxes for the expendit ures they will be faced with for defence purposes and will try to get along with

the new housing le gislation in his statement said that he felt the present sourc es of mortgage money were not likely to he sufficient to support a housing program e- qual to or greater than the 1953 volume the main object of the legislation is to broaden the supply of mortgage money by making that form of invest ment more attractive increas ing the number of lenders and making more funds available for mortgage lending it is proposed to reduce the down payment from the 20 now required under the na tional housing act the a- mount of the loans will be 90 of the first 8000 and 70 of the balance of the lending val ue subject to maximum loan limits as will le determined by the order in council for a 10000 house for example a down payment under the pro posed arrangements will be si 400
