All the time he was muttering these things he was looking up at a small hole half-way up the trunk of that tree. He knew who lived in there. it was Chatterer the Red Squirrel. He guessed just what had happened. He guessed that either by chance or by spying Chatterer had found out about that corn in the apple tree. With his sharp teeth he had been able to get the ear free and had carried it over into the Green Forst. There he had eaten tall the corn left on it. or else had Istnred it away. all but that one OTTAWA (CP) - The interest rate ceiling on National Housing Act mortgages in being boosted in a government move to attract more funds for house buildings in a competitive money market. Works Minister Winters in- formed the Commons Monday that. effective today. the max- imum rate will rise to six per cent from 516 on NHA mortgages insured by the crown-owned Cen- trel Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration. The some increase of one-half of one per cent would apply to all other types of NHA loans. The increase, he said. "is de- signed to place would-be borrow- ers under the act in a better posi- tion to compete for a fair share of available mortgage funds in the year ahead." The minister's nnouncement follows complaints by many house builders that they have been un- able to get adequate mortgage funds in the face of federal credit restrictions and rising interest rates. Charges for non-insured conventional housing loans have risen to 8'4; and seven per cent. ! Boost Housing Loans Interest 1 Rates To Attract More Funds der coastniction at the year's end. "I anticipate that banks and other lending institutions now will be encouraged to make more loans under the act . . . this step is designed to ensure that there will he a high level of house- buildlng activity through 1957." Late last month Trade Minister Howe predicted a sharp drop in ihouse building this year, due in 'part to credit restrictions and a smaller demand for new homes. In November, the number of mortgages insured by CMHC dropped to 1.015 from 4.769 in November, 1955. Most NHA mortgages come ifrom banks, insurance and trust lcompanies. Banks can make hous- ling loans only under the NHA and gmany banks have announced they have used up most of their avail- able funds in other fields. The increase is the second .within a year. The maximum rate iunder the federal act was raised itn 5'5 per cent from W; last lniarcii.
