LONG TERM CREDIT FOR FARMERS, -We bave recently bad a number of calîs and enquiries from farmers re- g arding sources of long terni oans and 1 would like to very briefly mention a few facts regarding this type of credit. Other than frora the private sector, the main source of long termi credit is from the Farra Credit Corporation, whicb is a federal agency, and for this area the offices are located at the Federal Building, Box 117, Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 4RB. 1 mention this now for it seems that this is the time of year when in many cases sons are considering purchasing farras from the father or for that matter looking for a farm to start farming in the s p ring, and we often bave, as 1have intimated, requests for in- formation. The Farra Credit Corporation may take boans to lacquire farra land, assîst certain relatives to acquire or improve farm land, purchase livestock, machinery and other items necessary for the efficient operation of the farm. t also will assîst in financing the erection or improvement of farm build- ings or im proving land, disdargng iabilities, pay operating costs and famnily living costs for the borrower during the establishment of a farming enterprise, redeemed Farm Corporation shares or purcbased shares in a farra corporation, assist in develop- ment of a secondary non- farming enterprise and other purposes that may facilitate the operation of the farrn. Applicanits must be of legal age and there are various types of boans availabie, based on the age lîmit, based on the appraised agricultural value of thefarm and the manage- ment ability and the potential of the farm. As 1 have rnentioned, anyone interested in thîs type of credit, sbould contact the Lindsay office or for that matter, if we can be of genieral lielp to yoti, althlough- thîs does corne under t he Government of Canada, we certainly would be pleased to sit down and discuss it with you. One other fact that mas' beof interest to you, is that loans are paid over a terni of 5, 10, 15, 25, or 29 years in equai annual or semi-annual instalments, combining in- terest -and principal-, Maximum termis varies with the size and purpose of the loan and the nature and size of farming enterprise, as well as the abiiity of the borrower to repay the boan. The Corp- oration will accept repayment of ail, or part of the boan, at any. time without notice or bonus. I would add that at the present time, the money that was allotted in Canada for the fiscal year bas been used up, but 1 understand that ap- plications are being con- sidered and anyone who is approved would have to wait until April the lst to receive the necessary funds under the loan. In this case, 1 would suggest that anyone contema- plating a purchase of a farm should have written in the Offer To Purchase, the fact that it is made subjeet to approval of the boan and SWishing yoù Chýristma s cheer!

Coun.

Coun. Ivan Hobbs, atbougb agreeing with wbat Coun. Lyall was questioning, was somewhat dîsmayed at the matter being brought upý again when he feit it had been adequately ironed out prior to being submitted to t he per- sonnel committee who were acting on council's instruc- tions. Coun. Kirk Entwisie, in support of hiring the third, party, noted the opinion, that two people in that departmnent would flot be sufficient. Coun. Entwisle explained that as it is neeessary to bave someone in the office at al times, having only two mnspec- tors would mean oniy one would be ieft -available to cover the whole f ield work of the entire town. Coun. Lyali feit that it would not be necessary to have'one of thera ln the office at al times but rather at certain aibocated and advertised tîmes to meet witb the publie. Coun.
