PRINCE RUPERT Central British Columbia's Newspaper riUNCE RUPERT, B.C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1928 SETTLERS FROM I GREAT BRITAIN Arrangements Made With Lord Lovat for Handling Number of Families u. LOANS TO HE MADE i Another Plan fsr Erection of I Cottages on,Already Estab-I iished Farms) ' WINNIPEG, Sept. 19. Agreements covering the land settlement of a large number of British families during the next two or three yers, have been completed as a result of recent negotiations between Lord Lovatt, representing the British government, and W. J. Black, director of colonization for the Canadian National Railways. Lord Lovatt is stated to be well satisfied with the farm ing openings he has found for British families Ln Canada, and impressed with the effective colonization machinery available ."or the handling of sueh - settlement. The present movement, of British settlers through tfcp MDlonlsation departatetr the tmewl Ilik ways will be mode effective in time for next year's operations, j Of major importance is an' agreement covering the bringing forward by the Canadian Nations' Railways, of1 1,000 British families, who when they take up land of their own will be assisted w;th a loan from the British government for the purpose of stock and equipment, the necessary funds in this connection being administer-' ed by the land settlement depart-1 ment of the Canadian Railways, j The keynote of this plan andj its best promise of success is that under the scheme of settle-, ment proposed each family will be required to secure Canadian ,ex-l perience, and no loan will be made until the family has demonstrated its fitness for Canadian farm life and has accumulated small savings sufficient together with a loan from the British government to enable a start to be made. Another agreement of great interest is that providing for the erection, with the financial assistance of the British government, of 100 farm cottages in Western Canada for the accommodation of British families while they are securing farming experience. One of the great difficulties experienced in connection with the bringing forward and settlement of families is that many Canadian farmers who would be glad to employ a whole tamiiy nave not tne necessary ' housing accommodations and un der this agreement it is prosposed i that arrangements wili be made) with 100 selected Canadian farm-j era to erect a cottage on each I farm to be used for the accom-l modation of a British family to' be employed by the farmer. lt is anticipated' that this agree-: ment for the erection of cottages! will lie merely a preliminary to further development in this direction as all colonization authorities are agreed that adequate housing accommodation is one of the prime essentials, to any satisfactory increase, in the movement into western agriculture of families from the old country. Mr. Black who returned just recently from a business trip to the' British Isles and the continent was in conference at Edmonton with Lord Lovatt, H. Skevlngton. of the British Treasury and G. H.
