“For my ‘own part,” ‘con-

. owners”

“Somebody must take action
to get a better deal for mobile.
home owners, and I) am-

a prepared to do it!" stated John

Michell. Citing figures to a
group of persons in Terrace last

aa week, -Mitchell, “Liberal can-

didate for Skeeia revealed that
56 per. cent’ of -new, single

a dwelling family homes pur-
... Chased ‘last year were mobile

homes. -
“That's right" Mitchell said,
“more people are buying new
mobile homes than are pur-
chasing - new conventional
homes,"’

“In areas like Skeena, and <

throughout the north, mobile
home living has become more
and more common.” —
““¥et C.M.H-C,. refuses to
‘‘fihance the purchase of a
mobile home!” he charged.”
Mitchell ‘explained that ‘the
only financing available
presently was through private
mortgage companies at rates of
13.95 per. cent to a miximum of
10 years.. ‘He added that. of the

Chartered Banks, only the Bank -
of Montreal offers anything, -

they offer a plan with 10.9 per
‘cent inlerest.
' “But, the thing is thal

; with 5 per cent’ dovnpayineai
and loa miximum of 20:years. -

the majority?” Mitchell asked.

on, “and id expect reasonable...

standards to apply to mobile ~

you decide on a mobile home:

Mitchell, Liberal candidate it in
Skeena, feels that good quality, ©
5.A, approved mobile homes
are a reasonable if not superior
type of residence. for many

people, “The transient worker‘

and yet can move from:

“The c, M. H.C. needs a Tat of
