» Effective housing

program called for

The Canadian Federation of
Mayors and Municipalities, meet-

| ing in Montreal, was told Monday

that Canada faces a serious
housing crisis and heard a call
for an “effective national hous-
ing program,”

Michael Wheeler, director of
the Canadian Welfare Council,
told the assembled civic leaders
that, “We have talked about the
right of every Canadian to ade-
quate housing in a decent en-
vironment, but there has been no
genuine commitment to this ob-
jective.”

He said that although Canada
had legislation and financial re-
sources to tackle the problem it
still lacks a national housing

policy.

Pointing out that since 1949
Canada has had public housing
provisions in the National Hous-
ing Act which enabled provinces
and municipalities to subsidize
accommodation for low-income
families, these provisions have
not been taken advantage of,

“Examination of the relative
amounts spent on these differ-
ent programs reveals that by
far the largest public contribu-
tion to housing is the federal
government's direct lending to
private

the sector, This ab-

be 3 ‘ > .

sorbed 84 percent of the aver-
age amount of annual investment
in housing by the federal govern-
ment in the period 1964-66,

“Higher income people are the

main beneficiaries of this pro-
gram and nocomplaints are heard
about this, In the corresponding
period, loans for public housing

the program intended pre-

sumably for those most in need
of assistance — accounted for
six percent of government in-

said,

‘Tenants
should act’

Alderman Harry Rankin said
this week in a press statement
that “Alderman Adams belongs
to the old 19th century school of
conservative- minded politicians
who want private enterprise to
have a completely free hand, with-
out any controls or restraints to
protect the public.”

This statement came in reply
to Adams’ attack on Rankin’s
motion last week before city
council urging protection of ten-
ants from “ruthless landlords,”

Rankin said half the city’s
population are now tenants who
are entitled to some form of
protection. “I don’t intend to let
up until they get it.” He said a
strong delegation of tenants to
council might help to persuade
its more backward members that
action is required,

Rankin said Canada has had
similar legislation before and
that “capitalist? New York has
some today to protect tenants,
