Accordinig to the Halifax Citadel Foundation, the Canadian Parka Service has stifl not given the foundation the go-ahead to begin work. «Major repairs and conserva- tion of these ùirplaceable airti- facto are essential for their long- termn preservation and use," says the fou-ndation. : Once funding,,for the three- year restoration project is appro- ved, work will consist of mast treatment, painting, lubrication and replacement of damaged or misaingpieces. The two 14-ton cannons were returned to their original home atop the ramparts of Citadel HIli in Halifax last July, after having spent 87 years guarding govern- ment buildings in Whitby. Buit in England in 1866, the cannons were installed at the Citadel in *1879. However in 1902 they were declared obsclete for military purposes and were obtained by Col. J.E. Farewell, Crown attorney -for the former Ontario county. Farewell moved them to Whitby and they were erected outaide the old Whitby court- house. When county officiais even- tually built their new headquar- ters on Rossland Rd.,the cannons took up residenoe there. But in* 1988, following a requeat from the Citaclel Founda- tion, Durham Re*in council aRTeed to return the* cannons to The foundation expects appro. val for the restoration work to, be- granted this spring. yN0OURc, KP Copy Centre e OFFICE SUPP LIES e FAX SERVICE e TYPING SERVICE e Ci RLOX BINDING * STAPLING**PADDING e FOLDING FAX: 430-3241 1.
