Right now, immense | bull-dozers and ditch-diggers are | literally making the earth fly in a | complete drainage and road-build- | ing programme," he replied. "What has been the reason for | this activity starting all at once?" | we asked. "There are a number of contrib- | uting causes, First, the township | agreed in writing to provide the | necessary municipal services before | the project started last year. Like | any other municipality, township | of East Whitby has been loaded | with work. They were finally able to negotiate the necessary con- | tracts and arrangements and asked | for an immediate start," replied | Mr. Schofield. "Just how are they accomplish- ing a complete drainage of the whole area?" we ventured. "Perhaps we'd better drive out," said Mr. Schofield, "and you can see for yourself how cleverly the natural roll of the land has been used by Mr, Keen, the Township Engineer. As we walk north on Simcoe Street you can see that there is a gentle slope to the north as far as Robert Street. - This is the north boundary of the subdivi- sion. Bordoring Robert Street and huge cement tiles carry the drain- age over to Masson Street. Last year Masson Street was tiled for These tiles are now being carried over D'Arcy Street to Mary Street and will join with a line of tile down Mary Street. It is two blocks going south from D'Arcy Street to Rossland Road which is much lower than Northway Court. This will give a good fast flow which will take care of the worst possible con- dition." "One can see that takes care of the presently built homes very efficient- ly but what will happen in the new 46 house. develcpment on Grierson Street?" we asked. "The procedure is simplified con- siderably in this development. 8. Jackson and Son agreed with the Township officials to help out the municipality by providing the drainage, The fact is that Grierson Street is being drained over D'Arcy to the main Mary Street trunk sys- tem," said Mr. Schofield. "We can see that the drainage problem here is entirely cleared up, and it all looks so easy now that it is actually being done. What is your opinion of the future of this area?" "This is a planned development," said Mr. Schofield. "That means that every last detail has been studied before construction started. Dr. Berry of the Provincial Health Department advised on lot sizes and gave it his OK. for septic tank sewage disposal. The Sun Life Mortgage 'Department had their Land Planning Division draw up the plans for subdivision into large lots. The Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation 'studied all house plans and specifications to be sure they conformed to the Nation- al Housing Act. The local Hydro Office and the local telephone of- fice co-operated in agreeing to sup- ply electricity and telephone ser- vice, All of these points were ar- ranged long before the first sod wae turned. If you compare this development with the higgledy- piggledy, hit-and-miss construction of former booms you can under- stand why I think that this is the finest plan for getting a volume of houses built." "Is there any selection of owners, or, can anyone buy here?" we asked. "While the houses are being built under the Integrated Housing FLORTEX Comes to town!

"Every apvlicant is asked to fill in a questionnaire," he replied. "From the answers he gives, the Mct.gage Company determines his ability to repay the Ican. They fig- ure that a man should not pay out more than 237 of his income to cover principal, interest and taxes. This selection is made so as to be sure there will never be any neces- sity for arbitrary action under the mortgage provisions."
