Ottawa, June 14â€"Som*e interesting facts with reference to the Dominion‘s National Housing Act 90% loans are brought out in a report on Housing Act operations released by the Honourable Charles A. Dunning, Minister of Finâ€" ance. These 90% loans are availalle on single family houses built for ownâ€" er occupancy where the lending value of the property does not exceed $2,500, and are designed especially to meet the requirements of families in the modest income categories who as a rule are not able to provide large equâ€" ity investments from savings. As with all National Housing Act loans, these 90% advances are based on total lending value of the property including the lot. Lending value is estâ€" The report shows that up to May 31, 1939, approval had been given to 309 of these loans, Mr. Dunning statâ€" ed that, while the number is not yet large, operations during the past two or three months point to an increasâ€" ingly important part ‘being played by this type of loan. In his opinion, the number of such loans will rapidly inâ€" crease, as this provision of the legisâ€" lation became better known to prosp: ective home owners, and as builders reâ€" cognize the vast market which the deâ€" velopment of satisfactory dwelling +nâ€" its in this price category opens to them.

In the normal case where owner‘s cost and appraised value are close, the borrower provides an equity of about $250. in the form of a lot, cash, or both, and makes a monthly payment on account Oof principal and interest amounting to about $14.71. An amount equal to 1‘% of the annual taxes is added to this figure to arrive at the total monthly payment made by the borrower. In those communities where the municipality has qualified under Part III of the National Housâ€" ing Act, the borrower is, of course, entitled to tax assistance duringzg the first 3 years. Of the 309 borrowers to reccive 90% loans to the end of May: 61 had incomes of $1,000 or less. 69 had incomes ranging between $1,101, and $1,200 . 45 had incomes ranging between $1,â€" 201 and $1,300. sjlished under the Act as the lesser ol cost or appraised value. It is interâ€" esting to noto in this connection the close relationship which has prevailed beilween cost and appraised value as a result of the greater attention which is being given to small house d¢esignâ€" ing and planning in recent years.

Whose business is it? The Dominâ€" ion Government has said it is up to inâ€" rustry, and it is, to the limit of ability. But no one can say it is some one else‘s job.

The natureâ€"and the paucity â€" of | these reports is, of course, the result of !design. The German leaders do not | wish the German people to know of ‘the extraordinarily friendly interest ;which the American people are showâ€" ‘ ing in the Royal couple. Instead they ‘hint of "incidents" and "difficulties" !and try to give the impression that the |reception has been far from cordial, l The reason for this is obviousâ€"that the German leaders are themselves disturbed_ to see the extent to which the American people have been arousâ€" led by this visit. It violates traditional ‘German prejudices and hopes about ‘the United States. It shows that the disunity which the Germans have beâ€" lieved to be characteristic of the Amerâ€" ican people is nonâ€"existent, and that ‘such antiâ€"British resentment as reâ€" mains in this country is small indeed :â€"â€"â€"far smaller than the resentment ‘against Hitler‘s Germany and â€" his lAmerican agents. | To Mr. Hitler this is bad news. Wha! iremains unknown is how Mr. Hitler | will react to it. If the Royal visit helps lto drive home to him the fact that the |outside world still cherishes faith in | those systems of government and ways life which he has said over and over again are weak and worthless, and lthat in many things the Americans see | eye to eve with the British, it may lead him to hesitate before exploding a new crisis. His system of international blackmail is predicated on a world torn ‘by strife and jealousy. It would flour ish best in the event of an Angloâ€" American rift. Before 1914 Germany could and did , ignore the United States as a world power. This is no longer practical politics, as the events of 1917 and afterâ€" ‘ward indicated. But it is significant that just as the German leaders deâ€" liberately blinded their people to the true course of American sentiment prior to 1917, so today they are again ‘trying to mislead the German people and, in particular, are seeking to give the impression that the American peoâ€" ple are cold to the British.

This is what lends peâ€" cial significance to the meager, belittlâ€" taken up with the Federal government. We would like to point out in connecâ€" tiorn with the cutting of township boundary line, that these lines were last cut out 42 years ago. In connecâ€" tion with the hiring of boys, for this work, there are hundreds of boys in Northern Ontario, either under age for mine employment or unable to obtain mine employment who will be available for such work and very much in need of employment. Prospectors and others who work properties are unable to loâ€" cate properties or stake new properties in the above mentioned townships, as township lines are grown Over and are not discernable. This condition seriâ€" ously handicaps prospectors in openâ€" ing new properties in these cases. en S tPc oc We would appreciate it, if you would consider the proposal for the reâ€"cutâ€" ting of township boundary lines in your plans. We would appreciate hearing from you on the above. Yours sincerely, Porcupine Prospectors‘ Association, wW. B.
