In Waterloo, at the present time, there is a great scarcity ol suitable houses for renting and the ;:n-fn; of homes for eratives and ~*~employees by the manufacturers of our town has teâ€" come a ‘question _ of vital importâ€" ance. In many instances good mechâ€" anics leave town wgile others are prevented from coming in on account of being unable to secure dwellingâ€" houses. ‘The demand for houses has never been greater. Daily we hear inâ€" quiries for houses at a moderate rental for workingmen who :would like to live in Waterloo, but . who cannot come here on account zcuthe scarcity of dwellings. This di lty will be intensified as soon as the Ballantyne & Turner Shoe {factory begins operations which will be beâ€" fore the end of this month. _ Then again the numerous manufacturers here have increased their staffs and many families have been forced to give up houseâ€"keeping. The hotels are filled and it is almost impossible to secure private private board at any price. If Waterloo had one hunâ€" dred _ new houses toâ€"day, that could be rented at reasomable prices, they would all be occupied in less than three months. Councilior John Letter, who showâ€" ed such commendable enterprise . in |erecting a large number of suitable houses last year, is, owing to the persistent demands made upon him MORE HOUSES NEEDED and the urgent need of houses . to insure the . future growth of Waterâ€" loo, erecting three or four houses on Young St. He would build twice or even three times that number were it not for the high price of labor and material. No dowbt for this reaâ€" son so few private individuals _ are building. Something must be _ done, and done quickly or it will be imâ€" jossible for our factories to secure operatives to run their machines. Phere has been some talk of formâ€" ng a syndimnmong local manuâ€" lacturers to houses to rent to heir employecs and others who wish to locate in Waterloo. The village of Elmira formed a real estate comâ€" pany last year which did a great deal towards solving the house proâ€" blem. A Waterloo syndicate cannot e formed _ too soon, if the town wants to reap the full benefit of the id given to establish new industries mere. The progressive factory . policy inaugurated two years ago has reâ€" sulted in the addition of several large factories and industries. The recentâ€" Iy erected collar and cufl factory has at the present time one hundred and righteen hands on the pay roll. The aew Schierholtzâ€"Zinkann factory, the Waterloo Broom and Brush Co., Ltd who erected a large new factory last year, as well as other manulactories have greatly increased their staffs and will continue to do so if this problem is solved. The new shoe facâ€" tory under the supervision of an exâ€" periemced muudga, promises to emâ€" ploy sixty hands by the end of whe year. To house the hundreds of meâ€" chanics and employes ind thus 1 oâ€" mote the growth and prosperity . of the town is probably the most imâ€" portant _ problem _ confronting the town and the yuestion should be imâ€" mediately â€" taken up by the Town Council and Board of Trade and thoroughly discussed and a line of action ‘ decided upon.
