(Continued from Brighton Bridge built. Mayor's Report

After the Mayor had read his re or! on the result of the sub- mssions he and the City Clerk had made in Ottawa to the Do- minion authorities, Coun. J. T. McKee rose and complimented the Mayor and the City Clerk upon the report just read. It appears elsewhere in today's issue.

Referring to the airport, Coun. McKee said it had been turned aver to the Department of Nat- ional Defense during the war with the understanding it was to revert to the City after hostilities had ceased. But noth g has been done about the trans er, Conn, McKee sold, and he thought it high time, same definite dec sion was reach- e

As to Brighton Bridge. Coun. cKee said he was all in favour of it. Each of the major three po- litical parties had promised it if elected to power and engineers

had even told

eopie the Brighton Bridge was a ready under con- struction. But nothing as yet has

befn done about it, Coun. McKee a

g given that anything is be- ing none. We have been told that slum clearance will start when we ore ready. 1 presume that means when we have provided other ac- commodation for the people now living in those slums. Therefore, immediate steps should be taken to institute a colony at the air- Fort. Two hundred families. now ivlng under the most filthy con- ditions, could ,easll_v be accom- modated there while low rental buildings were being erected. Schools and churches could also be provided for temporary use fgom the many buildings available t ere.

Coun. B. Earle MacDonald said if the City Council has the "back- ing of the citizens as a whole and the dele ates of the Dominion - Provincla Conference, we may _be able to do something. The City Council could do but little. Coun. MacDonald said. The City could not borrow enough money for post-war projects. The City had no industries and something should be done to bring new industries to the City. The whole question should be brought forclbl attention of Ottawa. In ls opin- ion it would be spring before any- thing could be done. “I mention- ed in this Council sometime ago that before six month's time. this City would‘ he on relief," Coun. MacDonald added.

The City "cannot expect to get it all done for nothing." In the meantime. Coun. Rogers said, there were 50 houses in the City which should be torn down and there were 150 families living in attics-and worse.

Coun. W. B. IePage said: "Tear- ing down is the easiest part of the pro ect. How you are going to get ma Oriel to build is what is wor- ry 6..

Mr. W. A. Gaudet, called upon to speak. said the Brighton Bridge was a. 50-year-old project. The best way to get f-wourable consid- eration for the Brighton Bridge was for everyone to work as n. team. Mr. Geudet added.

Col. K. S. Rogers said the City wee facing an economic crisis. Mun in large numbers were retumm home and jobs tied to be four. for a large number of them. He thought that problem as well as the housing problem could be solv- ed but only by the exercise oi “ ush. thought. and pimping."

Gov ’t_ 11s Reconsider-rug Canada’s Defence Plan

x Air Minister Gibson Outlines Situation: May Have To Disperse Key Industries.

““" “°““.%% u. m. if???‘

e - e knowledge that before long] the secret of ntomic power wl be world property, Air Minister Gib- son ;sald tonight in a recorded trmsdcast. In the recording, cer- ried over the looel radio station (CKOO), Col. Gibson said the de- velopment of the atomic bomb meant that an mtlrely new plan. of defence must be worked ou.

Oceans and “vast expanses of|

uninhabited areas" no lo er would prove a defensive barrier or Can- Tiaese barriers would e overcome by mechanically-guided missiles carrying smell atomic warheads, leaving space for ample fuel to provide long range. Single missiles might be able to accomplish what had been form- erly done by several ‘thousand bets. And since the use of atomic power gave a bomb such a wide radius of destruction, extreme accuracy was no longer of pare- mount importance in any attempt to destroy a definite target. col. Gibson said it was the re- consideration of defence rvcpara- tlons that had resulted in lane for the future of the armed orces appearing to be "somewhat vague."

Gives Outline

He fiien gave for the first time some ides.‘ of whet service officials are considering in the way of de- fence preparations.

“The messing of anned vehicles," he said, "or the collection of ships

"It may be essential, even in this counry of vast expanses, to

eventually disperse key industries

into small units. For example it

may become imperative to avoid

A continued state of prepared- (nose was essential but there was no dlsporitlon on the part of she uGovemment to turn the country

into an armed camp.

He outlined the tentative plans for the navy. army and air force Permanent forces and disclosed how flue army planned to use its strength forecast at about 25.000 men. This will be formed into a brigade group and ancillary units.

The ti: force would help to de- velop adequate defence against "the misuse of atomic power" and for this reason stress was being placed on a research and develop- ment division. One of the pxojec being studied by this division w the "production oi a Canadian built jet-propelled aircraft."

He gave some sidellghts of Cen- adflls defence position in the con- flict Just ended and said without elaboration:-' _. ‘

"There was the possibility of air attack on our coasts by carrier- borne aircraft, and lt was even necessary to take precautions ir. our northern regions against the chance that the enemy would send aircraft over the Polar route)?

Mr. Hyndman congratulated the nres- ent Clty Council on the efficient manner in which it was conducting the financial affairs of the City. It hsd been placed under serious fin- ancial handicaps by Coundls of the past and was doing an excel- lent job.

Coun. LePage said the Y.M.C.A. building program was beiniz held up because no pennit had been issued as yet. Ha thought any other project involving building material in large quantities would also be held up through present lack of material. In the meantime. he believed between 30 and 40 return- ed men could find themselves pro- fltable employment in the City by going into the shoe-reporing elect- rical, and upholstery businesses.

OTTAWA Oct. 2.’: —- (C?) — Finance Minister Ilsley announ- ced today in the Commons the Government was "experimenting" with a method of getting some control over the prices of new houses.

Control of the prices of new houses was examined on several occasions. but the conclusion was reached that the control of real ‘property values was impractical. he door has never been definite- ly closed against some sort of ac- tion and l may be necessary to

some control despite ultiel.

Mr. Ilsley cold one of the obvi- oua difficu ties was that serious discrimination would be Involved unless all other forms of capital assets. such as the rices of stocks and bonds. were rought under control. It also would be extra- ordinarily difficult to find a suit- able yardstick for control.

Mr. Ilsley spoke of introducing a resolution to a bill which would create a central mortgage and housing corporation to act on be- half of the Minister of Finance in the operation of the National Housing Act and to provide dis- counting facillties for the loan and mortgage companies.

Criticism of the government's handling of the housing situation came from Donald Fleming (PC- Toronto Eglinton), Progressive Conservative Party spokesman on housing matters.
