HOUSING
PROBLEM
IAiITH
large
scale
industrial
activity
now
as-YY
sured
for
Prince
Kupert,
housing
will
once
again
become
a
major
problem
here.
We
recall
how
difficult
the
housing
situation
was
during
the
recent
war
days.
Then
the
demand
was
principally
for
temporary
accomodation
for
workers
in
the
war
industries,
many
of
whom
were
temporary
residents
witb
little
or
no
intention
of
remaining
permanently,
or
families
of
members
of
the
forces,
who
were
n'ot
much
more
than
campers.
The
Jiew
population
of
Prince
Kupert
which
is
now
atyout
to
come,
however,
will
be
permanent
people
with
good
jobs
and
they
will
intend
to
stay.
As
the
supply
of
good
houses
is
so
limited
already,
many
of
them
will
want
to
build.
In
fact,
there
are
people
here
already
who
would
build
and
again
thought
turns
to
the
possibility
of
doing
so
under
the
provisions
of
the
National
Housing
Act,
attempts
to
avail
ourselves
of
which
have
already
been
made
on
several
occasions
here,
always
hoggin?
down
for
some
reason
of
other.
One
prospective
home
builder
under
the
National
Housing
Act,
who
is
in
a
position
to
go
ahead
under
such
government
financing,
has
agreed
to
co-operate
with
the
Daily
News
reportorial
staff
while
proceeding
with
his
negotiations.
Arrangements
have
been
made
whereby
his
progress
will
be
followed
step
by
step
and
recorded
in
our
news
columns.
Thereby,
we
are
hoping
to
keep
the
public
informed
as
to
just
what
happens
and
clarify
what
ieal
obstacles,
if
any,
may
arise
to
prevent
prospective
home
builders
in
Prfnce
Kupert
from
availing
themselves
of
government
aid
in
solving
their
pwn
housing
problems.

"At

I

that

would
do
anything
to

since
there
are
so

However,
I

rather
than
a

as
a
means
of

ancient

the

agreed.
In

The

agreed
that
