Douglas Robb, of Winnipeg, submitted the thirada prize winner, as follows: "Due to the absolute necessity of making room for a growing family in a home built eleven years ago, and which was becoming too small to contain us all comfortably, the question of obtainâ€" ing a loan to cover the cost of providâ€" ing an extra room was gone into very thoroughly. Advantages of Home Improvement Plan Essay Details Benefits Now Through the Dominion H.ILP. "The first method investigated was that of increasing the principal of the existing mortagige, but, it was found this would necessitate the execution of a complete new mortgage with the conâ€" sequent bother and cost of around $50. Furthermore the interest rate would remain the same on the increased prinâ€" cipal amount of the mortgage. "Another method obviously difficult, and more or less unsatisfactory from every point of view, was to find a reliable contractor to finance the work, that is, to have him do the work on the understanding that it would be paid forâ€"sometimeâ€"in the future. Even though this plan were possible, it was plain that any contractor, or builder, accepting work under such conditions, would of necessity, for his own protecâ€" tion, have a figure a carrying charge (interest) that would in all probability be much higher than any other means of getting the work done or of borrowâ€" ing monsy for the purpose.

"Following â€" considerable discussion and consideration of the foregoing possibilities of cbtaining funds for the very necessary addition, and other imâ€" provements to the home, the Dominion Government Home Improvement loan scheme was looked into. "All informatiomnm regarding it was readily and cheerfully furnished by the manager of the branch bank at the corner. It appeared very simple, and application was finally made, on regular forms he had for the purpose, which were very easy to understand, easy to complete, required a minimum amount cf information, and did not demand cf information, and did not demand any guarantee, definite obligation, nor security of any kind. "Within a week the money was availâ€" able to my credit, upomn the signing of a personal note only, and without any security being asked for. "Three days later the contract was let and the builder had started on the work. "Anvyone conteéemplating additions, reâ€" pairs, painting or other work to their home should investigate without delay the Home Improvement Plan as sponâ€" sored by the Dominion government wasting time on any of the other schemes mentioned above. "The ease with which a loan may be obtained is amazing, and only equalled by the easy monthly repayment plan, which wcan be arranged over a period of one, two or three years."
