for gers ing, etc. ‘lub asy hilâ€" Vilâ€" are The company opened an enâ€" tirely new field to financing in Canada and many new comâ€" panies, inspired by Coronation‘s success, have since followed its lead. These include the major acceptance and loan companies including Industrial Acceptance This second mortgage financâ€" ing was pioneered by Coronation Credit Corporation in 1958 when, as a small concern in Vancouâ€" ver, it realized the need of Caâ€" nadians for some acceptable form of supplementary mortgage funds, which complemented, raâ€" ther than competed with, . conâ€" ventional mortgages. But the newest and by far the most booming section of the business, is made up of comâ€" panies which lend money based on real estate appraisal values. W.hout the vagaries of using quickly â€" depreciating items â€" such as cars, furniture and apâ€" pliances â€" as collateral, these mortgage lenders are able to ofâ€" fer longerâ€"term repayment schemes to borrowers â€" up to 15 years in the case of leading public companies in the field. Under this method of financâ€" ing homeâ€"owners are able to use the capital they have tied up in their property, The longâ€"term reâ€" payment minimizes the monthly burden for the borrower. So great, in fact, was that need that in five years Coronation has expanded its operation to inâ€" clude 20 branch offices across Canada and its mortgage portâ€" folio currently stands in the reâ€" gion of $40 million, A less significant part of the credit scene is made up of the small loan companies which lend up to $1,500 against personal pussessions, dincre\nse,-;il at a phenomenal rateing 66% per cent of the appraisâ€" uring the last decade. led value of the real estate.

An architect is an artist and like all are forms architecture is influenced by the society. The current trend is away from the box, Dunlop said. The Victorian era had a great influence on architecture, he remarked. Then there was a great reaction to Victorian design and architecture lapsed into an era of steel and glass sterility. Now there is a trend back to design and more decoration is being used on homes and public and private buildings." Architects are allowed a conâ€" siderable amount of freedom when designing a church, he said. However the size of the lot, the budget and the attitudes of the clients are the restrictions imâ€" posed on the final design. Churches also offer a greater challenge because an atmosphere has to be created and the design must be beautiful yet functional. current value of property and materials the customized home is far outside the Budget of most families.
