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

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

. “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 forced to live right up to the

WASHINGTON (Reuter) — No one. objected when the news got around that a body shop was belng opened in northeast Washington, local residents reasoning that It was time they had a place in the area to repair battered auto bodies,

But the body shop, when opened, turned out to he something different—real ies, female, and‘ topless at that ata go#o restaurant.

Now, residents have com- plained to the aleoholic bever- age board that the owner of the body shop, Harold Wil- liams, was less than candid about what services he in- tended to supply.
