Under the Dominion Housing Act,. Mr. Nicolls continued, provision was made for a system of monthly repayment which included principal, interest and taxes. He explained the factors in connection with the entry of lending Institutions Into a community and told of the process of getting loans. Of prime Importance was the record capacity and reputation of the prospective borrower. Briefly, the procedure of getting a loan was to choose a suitable site, have plans prepared by a capable architect or designer, select the builder, tabulate the entire cost, present the figures to the lending Institution and make application for a loan. The borrowers' equity usually consisted of the property with cash or material on the ground. After being duly checked up, the application for a loan would be approved or otherwise. First the prospective borrow er would have to put up his share this year's halibut is going into and then tne funds under the loan storage this year, more of it be-,would come as work Pressed ing consumed fresh.

Appraisers had been appointed and other steps taken and the net result was one house. Naturally, the company was dis gusted. In certain Quebec communities local guarantees had been made against loss, said Mr. Nicolls Somehtlng like that might be done here either by responsible organiz ations or the municipality. A local housing authority might be form ed. "Unless a reasonable number of prospective loans are available you might as well forget It," Mr. Nicolls quite candidly said. General Discussion After' his main address, Mr Nicolls Invited. questions from the audience. In answer to L. W. Pat-more, the city commissioner said that a zoning bylaw here was already In process of formulation Mr. Nicolls emphasized the Importance of keeping out the shack type of house and the regulation of certain types and sizes of houses In certain areas. John Mitchell asked if it would not be possible to cut down the cost by appointing a local Inspector. Mr. Nicolls said that the lending institutions had trained men especially for his purpose and, for a start at least, they would Insist In using them. Later an acceptable local man, might be used. Earl Eby brought up the question of 25-foot lots which led to considerable discussion, Mr. Nicol's explained that it was necessary to have six feet between the house, wall and the lot line which left" only thirteen feet on a twenty-five foot lot. Therefore, it could be quite readily seen that loans could not be secured for houses on 25-foot lots. The government certainly would not be a party to Issuing loans for houses crowded on small lots. The city commissioner suggested that people with twenty, five foot lots might be able to make arrangements with the city for exchange for two lots. Col. J. W. Nicholls inquired as to the possibility of an industrial corporation acting as the lending institution in financing its employees and getting the government's twenty percent. It was necessary Mr, Nicolls replied, for the corporation to have authority to make KEN RAYNER (Over 25 Years Experience) For Your Radio Troubles Let me check over your set which includes General Inspection, Testing Tubes, Cleaning Set and Speaker, Realigning All Stages, Soldering Aerial and Ground when necessary, $3.95.

Under restrictions speculative builders could not take advantage of the Act. Loans could be paid off in less than the specified twenty years' time. It should be remembered, however, that the Dominion Housing Act was not designed to help prospective builders who were In a position to erect homes under already existing financing facilities but was meant to encourage those who were not In such a position. Houses built with such loans could be trans ferred, if it became necessary, to other persons of equal credit risk The fact that a building site was not on a sewer line and a septic tank would have to be used offered no difficulties. In some communi ties there were even private water systems. Mr. Nicolls emphasized his de sire to be advised at this1 time of all definite applications so that he might check up on them itnd have something definite to offer the lending institutions in regard to coming Into Prince ( Rupert, He mentioned the possibility of fur 'her legislation being enacted that might aid in extending the bene fits of the Act to sucn outlying communities as this. Mr. MacCallum inqulrfdafcto the wssibillty of a civic centre, being 'nanced under the' Dominion Housing Act. There hadt been no provision for this s0 far, Mr. Ni colls answered. Eventually, It might possibly be done under some community development scheme. It might also be accomplished as a self-liquidating public work. City Commissioner In the course of brief remarks at the opening 0f the meeting, City Commissioner Alder mentioned how the city was short of modern homes. In the past there had been little outside money available to assist in home building. Hi mentioned the Industrial possibili ties of the city through development of natural resources and expressed hope that Mr. Nicolls might find It possible to recommend assistance by lending Institutions for home building and modernization here. A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Nicolls on motion of J. J Little and City Commissioner Alder. This afternoon between the houn of 2 and 4 Mr. Nicolls Is In at tendance at the city commissioner's office to meet prospective local borrowers under the act.
