Page 4, Thursday, January 27th, 1972, While the general impression of the commun i ty has beén that the present town council would give the green light on construction of the proposed Ross- 1and Roa d m u n icipal-police complex t h i s y e a r, council has made no com- m ittment on municipal headquarters and w iIl proceed with construction of the new police building only. Construction of the new pol i ce bui 1d- in g w i11proceed at a fraction of the tender cost of the originally proposed municipal-police complex on Rossland Road East. Althoughmisgivings were expressed on the $ I. I mil1 lion municipal-police structure, council was unanimous in its agreement to proceed with construction of the police headquarters as a separ- ate unit. Tenders for the combined complex came in over $300, 000 above the arch- itect's estimate. "We made a lot of mistakes in this thing and the b iggest mistake was to turn the present building over to the library and build a new building, " said WHITBY FREE PRESS PLANS FOR ROSSLAND ROAD MUNICIPAL COMPLEX INDEFINITE, BUT NEW POLICE HEADQUARTERS WILL PROCEED AS Councillor Gerald Cox. Summing up his feeling on the orig- inally proposed complex, Deputy Reeve John Goodwin said the two buildings s h o u I d b e separated instead of being a combined complex. "We s houl d p roceed on the police b u i l d i n g and then in future years we maydecide if the other building is nec- essary, " said Reeve Tom Edwards. The popular question of erecting the municipal buildingcloser to the heart of the town was raised by one Councilor, Robert Attersley who spoke in favour of a downtown location. SEPERATE UNIT A down town location could lead to d o w n t o w n redevelopment said Coun- cillor Attersley, arguing that a down- town building wouldalso be less costly. Whi le the council appeared to be s p i t in any kind of agreement on con- s t ru c t ion of a new municipal building for this year, they will retender for the building all the same. "No words committ us, "saidCouncil- I or Dr. Kenneth Hobbs indicating that retendering for the building would cost nothing. Retendering simply gives us a base line if we do build it in future.

Why don't you charge them $1, 000 r e n tal fee?, asked Councillor Hobbs. They'dbe out of their minds to pay $100 for a 2'by 4', and if they're out of their minds, they may as well pay $1, 000, he reproached council. 1ns te ad council decided to concur w i t h a recommendation from the Dep- artment of Public Work s which supported the original $100 rental fee.
