a
record
high
of
about
14
per

in
March,
says
Jack
Hadden,
area
manager
for
the
Central
Mortgage
and
Housing
Corporation.
He
blamed
the
high
number
of
vacancies
on
a
slow-down
in
the
logging
industry
which
has
caused
a
drop
in
Prince
George's
previous
high
rate
of

growth.
And
although
the
present
rental
vacancy
rate
of
14
per
cent
is
uncomfortably
high
for
apartment
owners,
who
usually
allow
for
a
five
per
cent
vacancy,
Hadden
says
there
should
not
be
any
problems
for
owners
who
have
budgeted
carefully.
"We
had
a
very
low
vacancy
rate
during
the
last
three
years,"
he
said,
"so
the
prudent
apartment
owner
should
have
saved
some
of
this
money
for
the
lean
years."
"But
there
