David Croil, Minister ot Welfare, revealed that the Ontario government has completed arrangeâ€" ments for a comprehensive housing scheme in the supervised municipali ties of the province. WFor a start there will be 660 houses fits are numerous. First of all, it will provide work for unemployed artisans and laborers, it will sttmuâ€" late the building industry i# will proâ€" vide decent, sanitary homes for peoâ€" ple who need them. Another great advantage is that it will provide , not a mere dole, for thousands Eo e e e ue 2i i materials and labor being supplied by the municipalities and the province paying towards the labor costs. But the scheme is not for supervised municipalitios alone; it is open to every municipality in the province, and it is the government‘s hope that all will take advantage of the opporâ€" tunity to build Jowâ€"cost bomes for working people of moderate means. When ‘Mr. Croll explained the purâ€" pose of his government to an attenâ€" tive Legislature, there was no critk cism forthcoming. n fact, Wilfrid Heighingto, the Conservative memâ€" ber for St. David‘s congratulated the Minister on the foresight and courâ€" age of the administration in embarkâ€" iug on such a plan. The Queen‘s Park Arena In Sweden and Denmark apd other parts of Europe practical bousing schemes have been in effect for conâ€" siderable time. But on this continâ€" ent the idea has not taken hqld exâ€" cept in a patchwork way. ‘The beneâ€" Mn ie moraic of the jobtess w ve| _ @Y8 NCCEVC HCUL tremendous. ‘The government has experimented Gupports Ald. Honsberger‘s with a number of houses in York County to get an idea of cost and suitabi‘ity of the types of houses conâ€" structed. Satisfied that practical homes can be built for reasonable sums and assured of public interest in the idea, the Minister of Welfare, proponent of the scheme from the start, has convinced his cabinet colâ€" leagues of the wisdom of the plan, and now it is about to be consumâ€" mated on a large scale. Of course, §60 homes is only a start. Year by year it will be extended until every municipality where there is a housing need will have new homes for its people. And there is this added feature: shacks wil be domolished. No municipality will be allowed to retain slum homes. For every new house built, it is the aim of the government to destroy one diseaseâ€"ridden shack. No finer monument to a governâ€" ment‘s term of office can be found than thousands of decent homes spread throughout the province. The usual manner of spending relief monies yields nothing of a concrete nature. It is spent and nothing re mains to show for it, that is, in some tangible form. But the erection of lowâ€"priced homes, fitted with modern convenâ€" iences, is truly a nob‘le work, and is something that is outside the realm of politics itself. ‘There is not likely to be criticism from the Conservaâ€" tives in the Legislature.
