(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) House prices climb Despite high interest rates -and a larger number of pro- perties being placed on the market, the price of homes continued' to climb in the third quarter of this year, The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), an- nounced-recently. CREA's just -completed cross'country survey show- ed howed average prices for, ex- isting (resale) homes ,pro- cessed through the Multiple Listing. Service (MLS) rose three Remelt 'to $77,856 in the • .third quarter 'from $75,562 in the second quarter. MLS` is a .. co-operative listing system used' by most real estate boards across Canada and average prices of MLS purchases -am sidered to be thmost reliable gauge of existing' , home prices available. Puechases declined st• ly in the quarter to $33,L drop of 38 percent, compares to the second quarter as mortgage interest rate rose from 181 z percent to above 21 percent. Dollar volume also drifted down from $4 billion to $2.6 billion during the same period. The number of homes placed on the market rose approximately 30 percent in the third quarter. This. may be due, in part, to families being forced to sell their homes because of higher in- terest rates on mortgage renewals when they . can't meet mortgage payments and would otherwise be fac- ed with foreclosure, said Ray Buxton, recently elected CSA president. Additionally, he noted, with a slowdown in pur- chases -many homes remain on the market Ionger; some are. re -listed and hence the volume piles up. At the same time buyers are shopping more carefully, have a wider choice and are taking longer to make their final selection. "The statistics are not sur- prising in view of the present difficult market and extraor- dinarily high interest rates," the president observed, noting price increases are not keeping pace with linos tion in Some markets. / .6 6 You can paint like a pro, and we eon get' you started with the best point, brushes and pain- ting supplies you need.

Eng., Drainage Engineer, reported thatthe corrective work carried out to stop ero- sion of the Laub Municipal Dram on the erty of George Wraith, BlockpropE, had been ' completed under a declaration. of "emergency status" given by the Minister of Agriculture and Food. The rate and degree of erosion had been determined to have been so great as to have placed the township road and concrete culvert in imminent danger of washout° A new method of correc- tion,'" at least in this area, was used in which sheet steel piling was installed in the drain bed on the downstream side of the culvert and a fill of clay, filter mat and stone laid in the drain bed between •,••• • • • • • • • the culvert and pilings and gabion structures installed below the pilings to forestall further erosion. Shifflett presented his. report and as there were no objections presented, coun- cil gave by-law no. 19.1. 1 first and second readings. December 1 was set as the date for sitting of the Court of Revision. Bills and accounts in the total of $90,126.68 were ap- proved and ordered paid. Of this total, an amount of $40,000 is included for pay- ment of . loans made under the Tile Drainage Act. The road superintendent reported that during the con- struction of the Benmiller wingwall at the pond, he had examined the bridge at the River Mill and because of signs of wear, had had Ross Jackson, M.T.C., Stratford also examine the bridge. As a result, it was reported that while there are signs of deterioration of the bridge deck, there is no apparent danger. As a precautionary measure, it was suggested that a weight restriction placed on the bridge. Accor- dingly, by-law no. 20-1 1, imposing a maximum five tonnes gross weight limit on any vehicle, empty or load- ed, using the bridge, was proposed and passed. The by-law must be approved by M.T.C. and weight limit signs must be posted on each end of the bridge before it can come into effect. Tenders for the supply and installation of a segmented steel arch culvert for the township road between Lots , 5 and 6, Lake. Front West Concession, were con- sidered. The tender of Ar- mco, Waterloo, Ontario, at a price of $10,275 plus $300 per day supervision charge, the first three days supervision at no additional cost, was ac- cepted. Other tenders had been received from Koppers and Westeel Rosco. The hiring of Mrs. Jean Imanse of RR 3, Goderich, for the vacant position of part time clerk -typist, was approved. Thirty applica- tions had been received and, considered for the poyition.
