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. /

E.W. Shifflett, P. 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.
To allow employees of the
township office an opportuni
ty to attend Remembrance
Day services, the office at
Carlow will be closed until 1
p.m. on November 11.
The Ontario Municipal
Board held a hearing into by-
law no. 4-1981 at 11 a.m. Mon-
day, November 9, 1981. This
by-law is a restricted area
zoning by-law concerning
the proposed subdivision
development on Part Lot 11
Broken Front Concession,
Township of Colborne.
An applicationreceived
from the Wingham office of
the Ministry of Natural
Resources for the licensing
of a pit under the Pits and
Quarries Act, by John
Schoonderwoerd, RR 1, Mit-
chell, on Lots 19, 20 and 21,

jected to by resolution of
