THfcHKULD Wednesday It HALTON HILLS AREA PARADE OF HOMES By MACK PARLIAMENT Director Publications Canadian Real Estate Association As every Canadian schoolboy knows learning metric measurements is easy Therefore when all real estate transactions are required to be expressed in metric units on the projected date of January 1 next year it should be relatively easy for the public to become familiar with terms which will become effective on that date They will also be used in the construction industry and in the appraisal leasing and selling of real estate One would not want to be caught In the same trap as millions of Canadians were when expressing temperatures In Celsius units became official policy Some didn know whether the weather forecast indicated the wearing of fur coats or shorts But real estate is much more expensive than eltherof these items and a buyer must familiarize himself or herself with the metric system to know exactly how much space or what area is being purchased or rented for the bundle of dollars involved Converting metric units to Imperial English units is one way because this is the system nativeborn Canadians have grown up with and is the one with which they are most familiar But it is not the right way A better approach is to learn what a metre decimetre decimetre centimetre and millimetre look like and act accordingly A metre for instance is approximately equivalent to the distance from the floor to an average person s navel while an average door is ap proximately two metres in height A decimetre is one tenth of that distance a centimetre about onetenth of a decimetre and a millimetre one tenth of centimetre Simple Absolutely However it must tint physically nothing his hanged only the method of expressing the them is changing A lot wide by feet long will still be the size However it will be expressed as lot If mi Ires wide metres lung estnte like Ihost in other affected by changeover to metric measurements have been keeping of the conversion situation They ire able to assist those buying or selling real estate with the complexities some persons may with metric measurement after having beta used to another system all their lives The changeover is having an effect on buildings Building lUrials are being ion verted to metric sues which will bring into the chaotic construction field In summ the metre is the basic unit of length in the metric system for most real est ill measurements It will replace the foot and yard The kilometre km will be used for distance replacing the mile For the square metre
