Plan For Housing
A 5-year plan for housing should be bi’ought down,” said Mr W. A. Fox, commenting on the housing situation as it affected rehabilitation at the quarterly meeting of the Rehabilitation Council. “We want to concentrate all our efforts on houses. It is a really vital matter and should be treated on the basis of a crisis. We should put*all our forces into it as during the war. If ex-servicemen are unable to get houses within the next five years then they will be of no benefit to them at all. The only' way I can see to increase the number of houses substantially is by restricting down to the lowest limits building as apart from housing units. The regulations should be enforced as rigidly as possible and the penalty should be made so heavy that no unnecessary building would be possible.
