Use For Loans Works Minister Winters said Thursday banks will be enabled to use mortgages for loans from the- Bank of Canada in order to keep their investments liquid. Outside the Commons, Graham Towers, governor of the Bank of Canada. said the banks probably will be allowed loans up to l00 per cent of the value of mortgages but in practice this is not done. Their borrowing from the central bank was only for moderately- small amounts and for short per- iods. Mr. Johnston said if banks are to be used for credit expansion, the Bank of Canada should be used for the same purpose. The new plan of insuring Na- tional Housing Act mortgages would not attract any more funds into the mortgage held. The in- surance premium. to be paid by the home purchaser. would merely add a minimum of 3160 to the cost of the house and would give the buyer no protection. Different View George I-lees (PC-Toronto Broad- viewi gave a different view on the entry of banks into the mort- gage field. He said there is no indication they can increase the supply of available money for home-building. The government apparently had overlooked the fact that the land- ing power of banks was almost completely devoted to commercial and industrial loans. If they were to make home mortgages avail- able they must divert some of the funds being invested elsewhere. and that would slow down the country's commercial and indus- trial expansion. Under the new housing legisla- tion, half of Canada's woge-earn- ere still would be unable to buy their own hornu. The income requirement for those taking out Nil-IA mortgages would be at least 33,860 a year. based on the llequirement that a borrower can mend no more than as per cent of his income on car- rying charges of the mortgage. Mr. Hoes said the income re- quirement should be lowered to 83,000 a year, the average income for wage-oamere in Canada. says Program Stolen Stanley Knowles (CoF-Winni- peg North centre) said the gov- ernment has stolen part of his party's housing program in pro- vidlm for lower down payments and a longer repayment period on loans. However, the government also aliould have adopted the COP pro- posal for It mortgage interut rate of two per cent. Instead, it seem- ed that the current rate of 5V, per cent would go up to an per cent. The new legislation would not help people in the low-income groups. Instead it would help those who ooitld afford to build homes without help. He said the government is ill- lng a "ridiculous" argument for r ' income qualifications up at a minimum 83,000 by saying that people in lower income groups could .not itford to own their homes. Many would prefer to become home owners on monthly instal- ments than pay high rents. The should also pro- vide for the purchase of appli- ancea such as novel and re- frigeratnre at wholesale prices. with their cost included in the price of the house. CRAPAIIII RINK TONIGHT Milton Hornets vs. Cape Traverse League game Game 8:00 sharp Skate after EEhIll&IIIQ -Best wishes are being exterio- ed today to Mr. and Mrs. William J.

We are indeed for- tunate to own such an enterprise as the electric light plant", he said. Continuing his report. O0UnCII- lor Jenkins said "The Water and Sewerage Commission shows s16.- 305.56 as compared to 31,020.57 for 1952; both these departments are giving excellent service to the public. We have set aside for sink- ing fund purposes. 387,575.01; bald interest on debentures s53.366.-ill, bank interest, 91,389.28." He said that about 76 per cent of the to- tal assessments were used to pro- vide these amounts. Most Taxes Paid He referred with pride to the fact that over 90 per cent of the taxes levied in June have been paid. The gross bonded debt of town at December slat, 1953. was shown to be 81,163,500. and the report said that 3124.500 of the torw-n's debentures will mature dur- ing 1954, of which 834,500.00 are serial ddbs-ntures. These are fully provided for in the sinking fund and will be paid in full. At the request of many taxpay- ers. he said, considerable new water and sewerage extensions were made while about 23 miles of rural elec- tric lines were constructed. Thanks were extended to the service clubs of the town for the contributions they have made to the parks and playgrounds of the town. In conclusion the report said "Much credit is due I-ills Worship Mayor Wedge for the fine leader- ship and co-operation he has given to the members of the Council and which has oarriedthe town through another year of ad- vancementt".
