Mayor Rickard stated that the Durham Region was considering the sale of the building. However, he pointed out that even if the building were sold, it would simply be a matter of the registry office changing landlords. At present, the Province of Ontario rents the registry office from the Durham Region which owns the building on Liberty St. North. The structure was built in 1959 at a cost of $53,000. Bowmanville Regional Councillor Ivan Hobbs noted that reports in last week's Statesman suggested that the office might be re-located and that the Durham Region was planning on selling the building now occupied by the Registry Office. Councillor Hobbs dismissed these reports as "premature". He noted that the Durham Region last week decided against proceed- ing with the plan to sell the registry office. Mayor Rickard said that if there were plans to move the registry out of Bowmanville, he would be willing to lead the fight against such action. He explained last week that in the late 1950's there was talk of moving the office from the town but this decision was later dropped and a new building constructed.
