SUGGEST A BONUS TO HELP ALONG HOUSING PLAN
Ottawa suggested a 20 percent government bonus to boost home construction in Canada. The proposal, discussed by Hon. Raoul Dandurand in the senate, would total about 500 million dollars if expanded. Critics say the loan plan is slower than a direct bonus and may not attract enough private funds. Meighen noted provinces would form lending bodies to aid municipal schemes and slum clearance for low wage housing.
