LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz.
(AP) — Historie London
Bridge, transplanted from the
Thames to a desert moat half
a world away, will be
reopened to new decades of
busy service next month.
McCulloch Oil Corp. bought
the 140-year-old bridge 3%
years ago at public auction for
_ $2,460,000. Its 130,000 tons of
granite blocks were
dismantled and shipped 10,000

miles for reassembling herein |

the original form.

With

haulage and

reassembly, the entire project
will cost more than $7 million
— an expenditure that worries
Robert McCulloch, company
president, not a bit. His firm
hired Robert Beresford, 31, a
London engineer, to supervise
reconstruction of the bridge.

McCulloch used an original
fortune from manufacture of

chainsaws and outboard
motors as-a springboard Into
land development, And his
showpiece is this resort on the
shores of | Smilelong Lake
Havasu . the Arizona.
Colorado border, ‘

To find a suitable place for
the 1,000-foot London Bridge,
McCulloch had a mile-long
channel dredged from the
lower Colorado River to Lake
Havasu. .
CREATED ISLAND

The excavation job scooped
out two million cubic yards of

_ earth, including the narrow

neck of land which fastened
the resort part of the city te
.the mainland, It created a
two-square mile island oc-
cupied by hotels, recreational
facilities, Lake Havasu State
Park and the city airport.

Scheduled for completion in
time for dedication of the
bridge Oct, 10, the waterway
is 750 feet wide at the bridge
and 150 feet at each end.

The span, with its graceful
arches, will be the centrepiece
of an international resort
centre of shops, restaurants
and hotels. Another landmark
will be a two-storey English
pub, in a blend of styles dating
from 1500 to 1900.

The splendor of the bridge
will be rivalled by the
ceremonies attending its
dedication. The lord mayor of
London, Peter M. Studd, will
head a delegation of top-layer
sociely and business figures
being flown by chartered
plane from London to the
resort city of the Coloradio
River.

Studd will be accompanied
by his sword-bearer, mace-
bearer and the town crier. The
Royal Artillery’s regimental
band and a unit of the Royal
Scottish Regiment will head a
parade of some 3,500 par-
ticipants in a march across
the bridge. ;

The formal banquet on the
eve of the dedication will
strive to duplicate the original
dedication of London Bridge in
1831, when King William IV-
and Queen Adelaide, with
their retinue of 1,500, travelled
down the Thames by barge to
open the span.

“MOBILE HOMES GOOD BET — 1

. “Less than 16 per cent af all
new houses bullt last year-were.
priced ‘under .$20,000. -The:

- average new. home In 1970 sold

for $28,614,’ a price that ‘fewer.
than 7 per cent ‘of Canadians”
could afford. On top of this
municipalities in many areas of '
Canada have also done their bit
to create barriers to low cost
housing,” Frank J, Ney said
today in Montreal in a speech to.
the national convention of the:
Canadian eal. Estate
Association (formerly known as

the Canadian Association of.

Real Estate Boards).

Ney, whois president of Great -

National Land & Investment
Corp. Ltd., Nanaimo, B.C, {a
publicly-owned real estate.
company which is one of the
largest on the West Coast), said
that the demand for shelter
accelerates while at the same
time the ravages of inflation
make it more and more difficult
for the average person to own a
home.

“The only truly low cost
housing anywhere in Canada
today is still the mobile home,”
Ney said. “Today 80 per cent of
the homes sold for under $15,000
are mobile homes. Stan-
dardized methods of mobile
home production may seem
frightening bot because of flair,
imagination, and individuality
there is actually exciting
variety.

“H Canada is going to meet
the needs of housing in the 19703
it is imperative that all levels of
government immediately
create a friendly climate for

* mobilehome areas, Much of the

opposition towards mobile
homes stems from the fact that
local authorities simply do not

know how to fit the mobile -

homes into their assessment
and tax structures. However, -
possibly because of favorable
U.S. experience, governments
are now rapidly becoming more
sophisticated in thelr approach
to this problem.’

“Unfortunately, in many
areas of the country municipal
building codes ensure that only
large expensive homes get

t.

“In the hard world of the tax
dollar these municipal
authorities have given priority
to the golden nugget over the

need for adequate housing.

“And on top of this home

- owners themselyes . with their
prejudices, -Biobbery, .and

selfishness have Stood in the

way of low cost housing. For —

example, recently in Victoria,
Ottawa, and London, town
housing, row housing, and
mobile home parks — ail
C.M.H.C. approved — have
been turned down after public
protest. Unless something is
done we are in for a social
revolution if we cannot make it
possible for the average
Canadian to buy a home of his
own. We cannot keep home

“T think that proper planning

confrontation takes place, ©
“Sales of mobile homes. in

Canada have increased: by 500 .
per cent during the last seven’

years. 45 per cent of the mobile

And 55 per cent of mobile home
families earn more than $6,000 a
year; 15 per cent earn more
than $10,000 annually. In B.C.
alone about 45,000. people are
living in moblle homes, 94 per
cent of which are owned by the
tenants,

. “Since 1965 living costs have
_Tisen 25 per cent, but the eelling
price of housing has increased
50 per cent, due largely to
skyrocketing costs in the
building sector. - ‘There is a
double problem here because
growing families are being
