If you have your mind set
on the purchase of real estate
but do not have enough cash
to meet the full price and
down payment on the first
mortgage, there is a solution.
Second mortgages are also
available and nothing to be
afraid of. The owner may
agree to take your promissory
note and mortgage for the
balance. This mortgage is
usually for a smaller amount,
and a shorter term than the
conventional mortgage.

But no matter what kind
of mortgage you arrange, be
very clear about its terms and
conditions, Many mortgages

SECOND MORTGAGE
SOLUTION

contain prepayment penalties,
which means that if you
decide to pay off the mortgage
in advance, you have to pay an
extra charge. There will also
be clauses about late charges
required if you don't make
your payments on time and
clauses protecting the lender
from your damaging the prop-
erty or tearing it down. So it's
important to read the fine
print and understand what it
means.

Your Realtor is familiar
with these many clauses and
can be helpful in assisting you
to understand them.

Arbitration proceedings to resolve the West

_ trator Noel Hall sald Tuesday.

Contacted at his Vancouver home, Hall told the
Castlegar News both the non-teaching workers repre-
sented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees and
their employers at Selkirk College and the Castlegar,
Nelson, Trail and Grand Forks school districts ‘will:
require several more weeks to prepare written and
verbal briefs for presentation ‘at the arbitration
hearings he was appointed fate last month to conduct.

He said the hearings will probably be held in Vancouver,
although he has not yet discussed a firm schedule for the

proceedings with both sides

in the dispute of which he

unsuccessfully tried to mediate a settlement last month,

“T've talked with the. two
parties generally, but I haven't
set a specific date,” Hall said.
“So it's going to be well into
March before anything really
gets underway.”

Asked whether individual

groups on each side would.

make joint or separate submis-
sions at the hearings, he noted
there had been “difficulties
involved in getting all the
CUPE people to meet with the
B.C. School Trustees Associa-

tion people," who are repre-
senting the employers.

“I suspect there will be a
separate hearing for each con:
tract,” Hall said.

able to hand down a binding
settlement on the contract dis-
pute.
