More Homes Being Built; Cost 0n Upgrade

OTTAWA, Nov. 12—-(CP) —The little man with thc siirn bankroll and his eye on 5 mortgage for that post-war home had a gium outlook laid before him today. even though he heard that homo build- ing was on the upgrade for the first nine months of this your.

For this home-builder the dom- inant theme oi a report issued to- day by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation was this; The cost of building an individual home had jumped 3'1 per cent be- tween 1939 and 1945 and is still heading skyward.

This prospect was outlined in the first issue of "Housing in Can. ada", g new quarterly published by the corporation, which r:v'cv" housing in Canada for the last 25 years. -

One consolation was given the prospective home-builder. Present material prices hnvc not hit the inflationary sr-scd of the period following (he First; Great War. and they are still seven per cent below thc 1920 level.

Two reasons were given for the jump since the start of the Second Great Warz- _

1. Increases in the cost of ma- terials ord houriv wages paid cor- structlon workers,

2. Lowering of efficiency in the industry. chiefly due to untrained workers and materials shortages at the job.

Despite these factors. the report indicated. the numher ofa new dwellings completed in the first nine months of this year is keep- i-ng pace-and is perhaps siirrlfiv ahead -of the construction for inst year.

Up to the end of September, 2i.- 847 new units had been ‘nmoietod in 864 municipalities. For the whole of last year in the same municipalities, the total was 2C-

9'7.

On the rentals front. the costs showed no such increase as In the construction field. The cor- poration. recalling that rentals had advanced 30 per cont between the low of i019 and the peak 'n i980. said they had gone up only about eight per cent between 1030 and 1046.

Precedent May Be Established In Spy Probe .

By DOUGLAS HOW

OTTAWA. Nov l l2 -- (CP) The spectacular murse of Can- ada's nine-rncntbc-oid espionage probe seemed tonight to be on the verge of another precedent-a pos- sible appearance of Pr’me Minis- ter Mackenzie King as a witness in the conspiracy trial of David Gor- don Lunart.

Defence (lounsei J.L Cohen of Toronto informed county court Judge AG. lticbougall today he il-ad served subpoenas on the Prime Minister. Reconstruction Minister Howe and others in ‘nigh places as potential wimesses in the trial of Lunan on a charge of conspir- ing to communicate confidential information to Russia wnile he was with the Canadian Information Service.

Judge McDnugail directed that the question of their appearances be left until they were actually called.

Legal circles could not recall a precedent for appearance of a Canadian prime minister in a crim- inal trial.

The possibility that nothing will develop from the subpoena. was seen because of what happened in n prevkns psgtcmge trial when Mr; Justic Keilock was served in the same wail Mid 06V" called-
