It
is
also
Mr.

that

constitutes

suggested

that

out
to
allow

Ho
felt
this
could
be
done
Without
Interfering
with
the
King

School's
schedule
at
the
Centre.
By
going
in
the
mornlnc
or
after

classes
would
not
disturb
the

in

The

was
of
the
opinion
It
would
be
a
beneficial
move
if

could
be
worked

Mr.

also
recommended
the

Mr.

and
Mr,
Kirby
were
In
consutatlon
this,
morning
with
Mayor
Arnold
after
which
it
was
revealed
at
the
City
Hall
that
the
policy
was
to
be
in
connection
with
the
disposal
of
these
houses.
In
the
first
place,
only
bona
fide
tenants
can
buy.
They
will
be
given
the
opportunity
of
purchasing
the
homes
in
which
they
now
reside
but
no
compulsion
is
involved
nor
is
their
security
of
tenure
affected.
In
other
words
there
can
be
no
"jumping"
of
houses.
All
houses
have
been
appraised
at
prices
ranging
from
$850
to
$$2500
according
to
size,
location
and
other
circumstances.
The
down
prices
are
roughly
$300
with
monthly
payments
ranging
slightly
higher
than
the
present
rental
scale.
Amortized
interest
is
at
4,i
pefcent
incuding
taxes
and
Insurance
One
of
the
principal
objects
Is
to
remove
any
possibility
of
spec
ulation,.
Immediate
sales
arrangements
do
not
provide
for
houses
at
present
vacant.
The
first
sale
is
to
the
local
administrator
of
Central
Mortgage
and
Housing
Corporation,
J.
L.
McEwen,
whose
house
Is
on
Sixth
Avenue"
East.
Mayor
Arnold
observed
that
Wartime
Housing
property
was
being
made
available
for
purchase
in
Prince
Rupert
more
than
anyjvhere
else
in
Canada.
ExpeotaUcn
is
that
there
will
be
considerable
interest
among
present
tenants-
to
become
owners
of
their
homes.
