BLACK MARKET RAIDS FRANKFURT�U.S. military po-ce early today raided a Jewish dls- j laced persons camp at Zeilshcimj War Boards Aid Sought A crisis shared with Prince George by other communities in central B.C. is being tackled by dual efforts of the City Council and Board of Trade. With three-fifths of Prince George's $510,445 building program hamstrung by shortages, emergency measures were resorted to Wednesday night by the City Council. It decided to make formal application to Wartime Housing Ltd. for at least 50 homes to be built here as soon as possible and for immediate leasing of all Divisional headquarters buildings for a three-year period, coupled with purchase of six army buildings for resale, to veterans as homes. The emergency shelter scheme will include purchase of the "Other Ranks" quarters in the engineers' compound for demolition" purposes in order to convert plumbing and building materials, for use in the emergency shelters to be leased, as alterations are entailed. Paving the path of City Council in its move was a telegram sent to J. D. Ritchie of the Emergency Housing Corporation by J. G. Walker, emergency shelter investigator, upon the basis of a study made the past week. He advocated: 'It is urgent that you expedite this transfer to the city," in detailing the buildings involved by the proposed agreement. Further assurance was conveyed In a message from Wartime Housing Ltd. outlining the procedure to be followed in asking the company to build here. It stressed in part that the need of veterans "is our basic reason for building."
