LOW COST WORKERS' HOMES HOUSING PLAN OBJECT New Scheme to be Made Available to I'csldrnts of Prince Rupert A government-sponsored plan whereby citizens of Prince Rupertand other Canadian cities may become owners of low-cost, well planned homes In zoned residential districts was outlined to Mayor II. M. Daggett and reporters Wednesday by John S. Oalbralth, director of the community planning division of the federal National Housing Administration.

The revised act, a child of the Department of Finance, was explained In Commons by the Hon. J. L. Ilsley on May 11. Under It homes are already being built In eastern Canada. . Outstanding reaiure of the act Is a plan enabling potential home owners lo borrow dlreclly from the government up to 90 percent of the cost of homes not exceeding $5,000. As illustrated by Mr. Oalbralth, a man wishing to build a $3,000 house must put up $300, thi government lending the other $2,700 at an Interest rate of 4li percent. Repayment would adjustments are needed In prov- Ibe made over a 20 year period at linclal legislation to assist In thr ; -st of about $n a monm. Should the ow.er desire to sell or rent the house In the meantime he can do so providing his guarantees arc met.

Workers on the present second shift will be incorporated into the day shift. Calling a meeting of the officials of the eight unions having working agreements with the yard Mr. Allen told them that except In cases of urgent lepair to ships, the yard would operate the day shift only. It is understood that the change will effect only a . relatively small proportion of , the yard workers. Contacted by the Dally News last night Mr. Allen said that the change constituted "upheaval" in yard policy. "We are merely taking the men fiom the night shift and absorbing them into the day shift, and as far as I know, it does not mean that we will need any less men," he said. "When there Is any ship repair work to do we will probably put on two, or even three shifts to get it done as quickly as possible. However, actual construction work will be confined to the day shift?
