Tom Moffat, president of the Ottawa Building Trades Council, predicted yesterday that's at least the number of jobs Ottawa will lose when Cadillac-Fairview shuts down its Canadian house-building operations. LOCAL The second major builder to pull out of Ottawa in less than two years among several smaller operators Cadillac was the latest answer to the constantly circulating question in the industry these days "Who's next?" Company field workers received their lay-off notices last week and sources say layoffs among the rest of the dozen office and sales staff should New housing agency to run OHC projects TORONTO (Staff) An Ottawa-Carleton housing authority will be set up by the province to take over the running of Ontario Housing Corp. projects and give them a local touch. Housing Minister Claude Bennett said yesterday he has concluded the day-to-day management of assisted housing "should be the responsibility of local housing authorities, directed by people with an intimate knowledge of and interest in the community." The province will continue to take the prime responsibility for providing assisted housing, Bennett said. Transferring responsibility for managing OHC units will mean the provincial agency can concentrate on general policy issues, he said.

The take-over will not mean any changes for OHC tenants except that eventually they will pay rents directly to the authority rather than the OHC, Bennett said. Staff now operating OHC units in Ottawa will be transferred to the new authority. Bennett said the new Ottawa-Carleton housing authority will be set up "in the very near future." He also announced the formation of a housing authority for Metropolitan Toronto. follow soon. All the actual building is done on contract.

Closure of Cadillac's Ottawa operations will be a sore blow to the industry, now facing a 10-year building low and 40 to 45 per cent unemployment, Moffat said in an interview. All local builders have cut back activities this year because of high mortgage rates, the general economic slowdown, and uncertainty about the federal government. A spokesman for Cadillac said yesterday the company is putting no deadline on its housing shutdown, but wants to sell off its partially developed projects or finish them as joint ventures. For residents in its incomplete Ottawa projects Bridlewood, Chateauneuf Estates, Gardens of Barrhaven and Hunt Club Place the company is promising to retain full responsibility for the houses it has already built and sold. Cadillac has about 100 serviced lots to sell off, as well as 1,000 acres of land.

Not much success in city Another industry member told the Journal-Cadillac has never really had much success in Ottawa since starting up here eight years ago. Its housing inventory, 180 units last February, was among the highest of any builder here, yet it built far fewer than Ottawa-based corporations such as Campeau he said. The $2.5 billion Toronto-based outfit is the largest land developing firm in Canada, with major interests in the U. S. The company spokesman said single-family home building has long been the weakest point among the company's activities.

City universities receive energy research grants Ottawa's two universities have received $99,500 out of $1.2 million awarded by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Resources to Canadian university and college research projects in energy and mineral science. Both Carleton University and the University of Ottawa were awarded a major grant of $25,000 the largest amount ever given in the 10 years the program has run. Carleton University received grants totalling $53,500 for six projects, while the University of Ottawa's six research grants added up to $46,000.

Professor Carl McMillan of Soviet and East European Studies at Carleton University received $25,000 for his second year of studying Soviet Union international energy arrangements. Ottawa University professor of electrical engineering, K.S. Schenk, will begin research on electric heating and electric energy under a $25,000 award. Projects across Canada include work on nuclear waste, improved coal-coking for better steel production and wind furbines as an alternate energy source. 1,1 I ,1 'J!" lll.ll L.L I I.I III I I I I -I- II f'' UTAH 1C PRICE SALE WE'VE REFILLED THE RACKS WITH MERCHANDISE FROM REGULAR STOCK Raincoats Sweaters Blouses Dresses Skirts Pantsuits Coats Suits TOMORROW AT 9 a.m.

Motorists who have had to reduce speed since construction began will have to continue to do so until the job is completed, he added. Construction also has been going on for the past six weeks on a 17.2-km stretch of Highway 401 west of the Highway 16 junction. Traffic on that strectch of road has been reduced to a single lane. It will be at least seven weeks more before the work ends and traffic is restored on both lanes.

Three weeks ago, workers started paving a 9.7-km stretch of Highway 17 south of Arnprior. Motorists who have had to reduce their speed since then will have to continue to do so until work is completed either in October or November. Dibblee Construction Company Ltd. of Ottawa has been awarded a $310,412 contract by the ministry of transportation and communications for re-surfacing a 4.6-km stretch of Highway 138 from Cornwall to St. Andrews.

Work on the project is expected to begin in about a week's time, with completion set for early fall. The contract calls for upgrading the highway to current ministry standards and includes adjustment of the pavement width on two curves, partial or full paving of shoulders where nec- essary and the replacement of the handrail on the Rai-. sin River Bridge with a concrete barrier wall..
