The margin, according to the survey, is narrow. The document goes before City Council for study tonight and at the same time, three organizations which oppose Friday night business hours will attend with their delegations, to demand that the restrictive bylaws now in force and prohibiting Friday night business hours, be maintained. All this comes in the face of the Dec. 3 election question, in which the people said overwhelmingly they favor shopping on Friday evenings.

The increase to six percent on National Housing Act loans, announced in Ottawa, will probably not make much more money avaiable in the home building field, spokesman for the Greater Windsor Home Builders Association said today. A labor spokesman said the increase in mortgage interest rates probably will make more money available in the home building market which will tend to open up the industry this year. A bank spokesman said more money may be available but from a bank standpoint decision of this depends upon head offices which control sources of loan money.

Hon. Robert H. Winters, minister of public works, announced in the House of Commons today that maximum interest rate on insured loans under the National Housing Act has been increased employee Jan. 18. Arrested Saturday were William Ogletree, 28, of 790 McKay James Nash, 26, of 573 Victoria and Edward Nalon, 23, of 234 Bruce Ave.

The men were remanded this morning by Magistrate Angus W. MacMillan to Jan. 28 for election and plea with bail set at $5,000. Ogletree was arrested at 5:30 a.m. as he was walking along Wyandotte St.

C. Morgan, building inspector, in his appeal to City Council for a bylaw setting minimum housing standards. Mr. Morgan who waded through ruins of the fire today said such a bylaw may not succeed in eliminating all blighted housing areas but might stop their spread. John Cucrowski, who lived in the converted garage for 10 years, made a hobby of collecting quantities of paper and numerous other articles.

The frame building was located at the rear of 510 Goyeau St. For more than two hours firemen battled the blaze, first noticed by a neighbor shortly after 8 p.m. after Tuesday. The new move, made by order-in-council means that insurance companies, chartered banks and any other organizations wishing to provide mortgage money for home construction under the act and receive a mortgage insured by Central Mortgage and Housing a government concern, may now charge as much as six percent for the money. In making the announcement, the government is recognizing the severe shortage of mortgage funds for new home construction and is attempting to encourage an increased flow of private mortgage money into the field.

Last year, the board processed 252,000 cases; of these, persons were injured badly enough to require more than four days treatment. Mr. Sparrow said this will increase next year because new employer classifications are being added to the board's jurisdiction, and because the board is "increasingly insistent that minor injuries be reported."

Development of the road from Puce to Lesperance Rd. is already under consideration by the Provincial Government. The extension to Ojibway was favored by an area committee that inspected the road Saturday. The committee was composed of City Council's traffic committee, city officials and representatives of Sandwich East, Sandwich West and the Suburban Roads Commission. The theory is that the bypass route would eliminate much of the present Highway 39 traffic that passes through the city.

Traffic using the proposed artery would be able to cut north into the city at any point. The development would create a fourth east-west artery, joining the present Riverside Wyandotte St. and Tecumseh Blvd. early today, and firemen were called to the scene by a passerby. Heaps of old newspapers and trash were piled from the floor to the roof of the building.

Most had to be shovelled from the shack before firemen could extinguish the blaze. Representatives of the Veterans Rental Association will appear before City Council tonight for the first time since the Dec. 3 election. They will ask that the city pay costs of installing eaves-troughs on the 1,000 homes in Ward One which have been offered for sale. The association was particu Africa.

At the same time those coming for longer stays showed a decrease during the year. There were about 95,000 more American cars which entered Canada at Windsor for stays of 48 hours or less during 1956, than in 1955 the report shows. However about 10.000 fewer American cars entered at Windsor during the year to stay for periods up to 60 days. The reports shows that from Judge Orders Two Trials Mr. Justice XV.

This' is one reason American and European governments have sent teams to study the Ontario model; in New York State, for example, the beams collapsed, burying Cucrowski's few personal belongings and furniture.

The agenda which faces the council tonight is extremely heavy and when compiled would measure a quarter of an inch thick.
