Cheap Houses

(From A Correspondenli

Hamblc (Hants), Sept. 16.

Alarmed at the hardships of derelict-area workers sent into the district, Hamble Parish Council wants to aid them by building cheap houses-and is finding it difficult to get permission..

Until a year or so ago Hamble was mainly the haunt of yachtsmen and fishermen.

Dut with rearmament new aviation works have sprung up and it is] estimated that about 4,000 workers h their familles have come into the district with la a year.

The big Industrial firms such as Armstrong Whitworth, Shell Mex Fairey Aviation and Alr Service Training were asked by the Rural District Council if they would build houses for their workers, but all four said no

The Parish Council neked for per- mission to build on attractive Council estate, but the District Council ad- vises against this on the grounds that the situation i temporary and that When rearmament is completed the houses will be left derelict.

INQUIRY SOUGHT

The Parish Council wrote to the Ministry of Health and asked for an Inquiry Into the position, but iis Jelter was merely referred back to the District Council,

As new and faster aeroplanes come into commercial service and Ispeeds go up, pilots' pay will go down. This view is expressed by the British Air Line Pilots' Association in its official organ

It is urged that with the Increasing speeds of the future, the need for some method of paying pilats other than a flat hourly basis has become apparent, and the advantages of a sliding scale based on hours and mileage are mentioned,

Mr. Chilly, N.8.P.C.C. solicitor, said the family Income was £4 1e a week, yet they lived in an under- ground basement, a "quagmire of. seml-darkness.

The hourly rate is said to be a "con- tinual source of irritation to any

sound-thtaking pilot. There general slackness in keeping schedules resulting from this system, and pilots are inuch more likely purposely to arrive late in head winds than to attempt to keep schedule.'

The sliding scale which is approved by the Association proposes a rate of 109. an hour for daylight flying at under 125 m.p.h.; 12s. 2d. an hour for daylight flying at over 175 m.p.h., and 12s. 6d. an hour for daylight flying at over 200 miles an hour, with corres- ponding night rates of 15s, 188, 2., and 18. Od.

There is also supplementary mlle- lage pay calculated by multiplying the total number of hours flown by 100 Jand subtracting the total mileage, and then paying at a sliding scale rate.
