The mortgage loan of $1,123,038. for Grand Bend Senior Apartments was pro- vided by the Toronto Domi- nion Bank. This loan has been insured by CMHC for the 35 -year amortization period. Once a project, either bought or built, is ready for occupancy rents must be within the reach of residents' incomes. If they are not, CMHC may provide an an- nual operating subsidy under Section 56.1 of the National Housing Act that effectively reduces the loan interest rate to two percent. The result is a reduction of occupancy charge on all units to the lower end of prevailing market rents, with any re- maining subsidy pool used for the housing of rent -geared -to - income residents.

Hay subdivision Continued from front page back to Exeter council on August 7. Another of those in atten- dance, Jack Snell, said he is situated right in the middle of the proposed development. He wanted to know if the zon- ing changes would affect his residential classification. He fears annexation, with resul- tant higher taxes. Snell said he didn't want any more problems with sur- face water than he already has, nor interference with a present adequate water supp- ly from his shallow well. Davidson" assured Snell on- ly he could apply to have his zoning changed, and the developers' plans for wells, sewage disposal and water supply must all be approved by the ministry. Jim Rowcliffe, wanted to know where the developer proposed to drain effluent and surface water, which might have a detrimental effect on his adjoining property. Davidson said legally drainage must not affect ad- jacent properties. However, this is addressed not in the bylaw but in the subdividers' agreement with the township. The township must be satisif- ed with drainage ar- rangements before giving its approval. Many conditions, including health unit approval and highway access, must be met Nobody likes hard work more than the person who pays for it. 11) Kem Exterior Flat Latex liNorases $1999 and up per gal.

Meeting chairman Reeve Lionel Wilder said the meeting had been called to hear concerns, and these would all be addressed in the subdividers' agreement. Rowcliffe was not mollified. He said it becomes a form of blackmail when council ap- proves a lot of things along the way, and then the developer says "I've done all this, now give your ap- proval". He said the owner had put a tile through without informing him, and he got the impression "they push ahead first, then inform after". He expressed surprise the developer can go ahead without engineering reports. Davidson said the order of business was approval in principle, then the engineer- ing reports, but the developers can sell no lots un- til everything has met all re- quirements and conditions and received approval. Before adjourning the 30 -minute meeting, Reeve Wilder promised all concerns voiced at the meeting would be considered when drafting the subdividers' agreement. "We are not trying to snowball this thing through. We want it to be right", he remarked in conclusion.

This frees up manhours and slightly less than $50,000 previously budgeted for this project. Davis will bring a list of recommendations for other suggested projects to the August meeting. Easement surveys for a new 27,6 K.V. line to be built within the next two years from the Zehrs store west to the CN tracks and on to Cana- dian Canners have been com- pleted. The canning company has asked for a one-month delay in determining if they need the line next year in order to evaluate re- quirements while processing the 1984 corn pack, or if they prefer to wait until 1986. Three men were hired on a temporary basis to install the water main on William St. from Church north 1,000 feet. One worker will be kept on afterward. Davis said all capital pro- jects in the waterworks department will be completed with this main. "We are in better shape now than I wished we were. We have already done a lot of work we normally do in the fall," Davis mused. After a review of the ('om- mission's insurance needs, Commissioner Harry De Vries authored a motion rais- ing the liability on owned and non -owned autos, water liabilities and the errors and omissions policies from $3 to $5 million for a premium in- crease of $371. This will be off- set by a change in property liability from $100 to $250 deductible which reduces that premium by $242. Davis circulated a letter written by him to the Ontario Municipal Water Association detailing the problems caus- ed by lack of knowledge about the tendency of ductile pipe to corrode in certain types of soil. Davis stated this is one of the most serious problems ever faced by water utilities, and suggested the pipe manufacturers assume some of the financial costs of recti- fying the situation. • SPECIAL AWARD -- Bob Jones received a Legion Ser- vice award Sunday for his special efforts in construc- ting a new baseball diamond.
