LONDON—( World News Su. v-
ices)—A London businessman has
announced a new scheme for a
solution to the housing probh m
in Israel and other countries—
prefabricated houses made of
plastic.
Ile has contracted with a
British firm which manufactures
automobile trailers out of plastic
to build an experimental bunga-
low out of that material, com-
posed of three rooms and a bath-
room. The cost of the unit is
estimated at 540 pounds.
The businessman, S. N. Kahan,
proposes to ship the model home
to Israel for inspection by pros-
pective purchasers.
