Private
attitude

City Council fast nigh

Four groups are actively in-
terested in new «apartment con-
struction, the mayor learned.
Each has or is preparing tenta-
tive plans for submission to lend-
ing institutions, a procedure ne-
cessary beore an application to
Central Mortgage and Housing
Corporation for a direct loan can
be made.

INFLUENCED GOVT

“Representations by the City
of Prince Rupert to the federal]
government have played a part
rin having the direct Ican legis-
lation enacted,” the mayor com-
mented.
| Limited dividend or subsidized
housing is not atractive to build-
‘ers in the first instance or to
ithe various levels of govern-
iments in the second instance.
“It is interesting to note,”
; Mayor Lester said, “that groups
| with present proposals are
i thinking in terms of rea-

 

| sonable rentals in the $85 to
| $125 a month bracket, although

' there is no guarantee of what
| final rents would be.”

_ Central Mortgage was “very
helpful,” and the Mayor ob-
lserved a change in attitude of
| lending institutions.

“They were polite before, but
you could tell they weren’t in-
‘terested. They took the attitude:
iwhy invest 500 miles away when
ithey could invest in Vancouver
‘where they could watch their
; money?”

‘MORE LIBERAL

| Attitude of private lending in-
‘Stitutions toward direct lending
in Prince Rupert is now much
imore liberal, and there is a will-
lingness to lend on sound pro-

  

lenders’
changed

The outlook for more rental apartment
construction in Prince Rupert is improving.
This was Mayor P. J. Lester’s good news for

posals, the Mayor reported.

Indicative of this interest is
the fact that Robert Claussen,
B.C. manager of Central Mort-
gage, and W. H. Hill, are ex-
pected to visit Prince Rupert
shortly.

Representatives of two of the
larger and more active private
lending institutions are also ex-
pected to come here this month.

While he didn’t expect to see
the shortage of rental housing
units overcome immediately, His

ful than at the same time last
