CLARK, RR 1, Kincardine OFFICE - 395-5020 HOME .: 395-5544' GSS-2 . ou Victorip renovation should start soon llnt*ndecl'for lei".t weeks The Hirron County board of education at a special meeting in Clinton Monday night accep- ted the tender of Refflinghaus• Construction Company of Goderich for the construction .of the addition to Victoria Public School, Goderich. The Refflinghaus tender, lowest of four received, was $744',243 and is subject to Ap- proval Of ministry of education and Ontario Municipal Board. The project incitgles the demolition of the original two- storey Victoria School building erected an 1910; a single storey addition 'for home economies, industrial arts and music rooms;.a two storey section --on lower floor, a kindergarten, and a general administrative area such as principal's office, secretairy's office and staff room; and on upper floor, library resource centre and'two classrooms; and a new section of three classrooms and a multipurpose room to accotn- modate the trainable retarded pupils, The latter group, num- bering 26 pupils are enrolled at Queen Elizabeth School, in the farmer St. Peter's Separate School in Goderich, and is ren- ted. from Huron -Perth" Chunty Roman Catholic Separate School Board. a � occupants must earn $12,500 a year or less and therepairs needed must. be for exterior or structural work or for fixing faulty plumbing, electrical or heating systems. It doesn't cover such "extras" as building garages or installing second bathrooms. " Interest on the loans is worked Out on a sliding scale.. Familieswith an income of $3,000 ore 'ass don't pay .a ny in-, terest at all, and the largest in- • terest is eight per cent for those earning between $8,001 and $12,500. • The. maximum 'loan is $7,500, with up to 20• years to 'repay The entire loan, need not be 'paid back; • a, "forgiveable" por- tion- is also calculated on a sliding scale based on income and to b `earn" .. it the owner must continue to live in the house for a specified number of years after the repair work has been' completed. • Local municipal offices have the details. The procedure works as follows: Once an owner -occupant feels he meets the above con- ditions, he talks to the people at his. municipal office and fills out an application,- An inspec- tor will likelyvisit, advise on construction ,methods and review, other details of the proposed repair work. The owner then gets, quotations from contractors and- submits them to the municipality. (The owner and. his friends -can do the work ,themselves and 4 be paid for materials and labor, provided the result will be of professional calibre 'and meet building standards.) • • The -municipal clerk meets with the homeowner and, if everything checks out, draws up the loan contract. This will in- clude having assurance of the borrower's financial respon- sibility, -arranging a lien on the house as collateral, establishing the interest rate, terms of the forgiveable portion and the repayment schedule. (An existing mortgage on a house is not a barrier toward •obtaining an' OHRP loan, • provided the' added burden in payments can be afforded.) - . The work- is then carried out ° by the contractors; •as it progresses, the municipality . carries' out inspections to assure that it's being done •properly. The loan funds are paid out as`phases'of the work are completed. - The loan, principal and in- terest is then repaid to . the municipality in instalments, usually monthly, as agreed in the loan contract. If the house is sold before the loan is fully repaid, the forgiveable amount is proportionately reduced. When sold, any amount owing on the principal, interest and unearned forgiveable portion must be paid off in one lump sum. Would you be eligible for' an OHRP loan? Here are some case histories: - Mr. and Mrs. Sam Simpson are upset. Their annual income is $8,000 and they have just been told by ‘a local housing in- spector that the wiring in their house,' while adequate 30 yrs • ago when the house was built, is now below standard and dangerous • when used with many of today's appliances. The Simpsons must have the reiiairs done, but can't afford them at today's interest rates.' Will they be eligible for aid. un- der' OHRP when their •city receives provincial funds under the program?, ' ' Yes, they will. Or take Mrs. Anne Jones, 65, a„widow supporting herself by Guaranteed Investment Certificates 11 BRUCE,ERSKINE. 86 NORTH. ST., GODERICH 5 24-9 5 55 old age and war widow's pen- sions. She recently moved into a dilapidated cottage in a small Ontario town and needs money quickly to meet the costs of repairing her bathroom and kitchen plumbing. The town does not have any health and safety standards. Is Mrs. Jones eligible? - Ves, provided that the town adopts standards of •building maintenance, health, safety and sanitation and then, par- ticipates in the OHRP Program — and that the plumbing in Mrs.`' Jones' house IS found to be below those standards. Matt Shrier is a' bachelor who owns a triplex in ,down- town London, Ontario, a city `taking part in OHRP: Shrier lives in a self-contained apart- ment in the,basement and rents the remaining two floors. The .building, needs work, especially, on the exterior facade and in the plumbing of his apartment. His income, including the rent • he collects, is $12,400. Does he qualify for OHRP assistance? He does, but only for that repair work within• his own, - apartment. Thus hp could borrow through .OHRP for his plurnbin'g, but- not for the, ex- terior work. • A • final' case history: Mrs. Sharon Campbell ownstwo GODERICH SIONAL«STAR, T4dRSDAY, OC 4'OBER 17,,, There are 451 elementary pupils in Victoria School from grades 1 to 6.
