But handled unwisely, unwisely, it can also be a major source of financial difficulty. To prevent this, you will need to ask questions and use caution when getting a mortgage. There are several basic steps you can take to make sure your mortgage is right for you. • Always use your own lawyer. It really is worth it. • Mortgage rates .may not be the same, so shop around for the best available mortgage mortgage terms, just as you would shop for any other commodity, commodity, Compare interest rates and repayment plans. Whether you consult a bank, loan and trust corporation, insurance company, credit union, finance company, private private individual or registered, mortgage broker, don't hesitate hesitate to ask specific questions Flow increases on Ganaraska River An analysis of flow data by the Ganaraska Region Conservation Conservation Authority staff shows that summer flows on the Ganaraska River have increased by 40 percent. The data analysed covered a 25 year period from 1950-1975. Also a larger part of the total annual flow now occurs in the summer. 1 The Authority staff attribute attribute this change mostly to the establishment of the 10,000 acre Ganaraska Forest pov- ering the river's source area. Most of the forest was planted during the late 1940s and early 1950s. By the 1970s much of the forest had, matured to the point where it reduced spring runoff and' allowed water to penetrate the soil, augmenting ground water supplies. The data was taken from the Sylvan Glen stream gauge on the Ganaraska River, north of Port Hope. The average minimum daily flow through the summers of 1950-1955 was 34.5 c.f.S. (cubic feet per second). The flow tor the summers of 1970-1975 was 47.5 c.f.s. The Authority staff indicated indicated that normally one would expect a decrease in summer flows for our streams and rivers over the past 25 years. This being due to increased farm drainage, more intensive agricultural practices and increased urbanization urbanization in the rural areas with a greater demand on ground water supplies. The Ganaraska Forest, in the north of Hope and the former Township of Clarke, therefore, has had its benefits. benefits. In .addition to the apparent increased flow during during the summer months,- it has also stablized a badly eroded wasteland from' the 1930s and reduced spring runoff and flooding. Presently some of the early plantings are being harvested for pulpwood and poles. The forest also offers recreàtiorial land for the public. and insist on specific answers. answers. • Bear in mind that there may be certain costs involved in arranging mortgages, such as the lender's legal fees and commissions. Find out about these costs in advance. • If you arrange your mortgage through a registered registered mortgage broker, you are entitled' to receive from him a "Statement of Mortgage" at least 24 hours before you are asked to sign the mortgage mortgage contract. This is the law in Ontario. Make sure you get this form and study it closely. • Don't use a second mortgage mortgage to pay off debts that do not ' have interest charges. Deal directly with your creditors and arrange a repayment repayment schedule with them. • Try to avoid borrowing against your house with a second mortgage to buy consumer items or to pay off cdhsumetdebts. Keep it as an asset in casé of real need. It's not a good idea to put your house in a. vulnerable position. position. Better to have a washing washing machine repossessed than your home. Don't refinance your house at high interest rates and lose your present lower interest rate first mortgage. If 'debts are pressing, you should consult an expert before before you refinance your house.
