Emm also informed Lovelock a timer has been installed in the ad- dition which will turn the lights off at 10: 45 each night. At the administrative committee meeting last week. Town planner Paul Rycroft explained that con struction of the addition involved a problem with grading. The building was going to be three feet lower in the ground than shown in the original plans. so regrading had to take place.

"Facial lights are a lot different than canopy lights.- said Lovelock. who later argued' with Mayor Bob Attersley about whether the lights were now on or off. "The lights are there whether you like it or not.- said Brunelle at last week's meeting, adding that the changes were - not unreasonable»- He told Lovelock that he agreed there was a lighting proble m but -you can't take them away. lie also mentioned the timer that would control the lighting. -Isn't that lovely?- responded Lovelock. who claimed the plaza developer -was not following the rules.
