Public funds are held in trust and must not be squan- dered. It's to our council's credit they have the wisdom to heed well engineers reports and forecasts before committing us to public building projects. The OMB commended this responsible attitude at this hearing. Sad as it is to lose the War Memorial and I'm speaking as a veteran on hearing the library wherever it's built that will hold the roll of honour and other distin- guished relics, for the young to treasure and us to remember, - makes it less painful. Now we must bear the cost of these hearings we didn't ask for. That's freedom thank God for it. But must we suffer threats to carry the issue still further should the OMB not rule in favour of the opponents.

Will appeal to Cabinet if necessary One of the two formal objectors to a proposed library on waterfront pro- perty in Port Perry says she is satisfied with the three- day Ontario Municipal Board hearing into the matter which concluded last Thursday. Mrs. Myrtle Prentice, who was present for the entire proceedings, said at the Engineers rule out addition to present library building Building an addition on the rear of the present library building on Queen Street would be both difficult and expensive, according to testimony from two profes- sional engineers at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing here last week. Ron Patchell, an engineer with the Township's consult- ing firm of Totten, Sims, Hubicki, and Maurice Lewis regional engineer with the Ministry of Natural Resour- ces, told the hearing that the creek which runs behind the old library property would present problems for con- struction of an addition. "Our calculations indicate that the building would be flooded in a severe storm," said Mr. Lewis. Testifying under oath, both men agreed that an addition" could "be built "if money was not a problem, and both agreed that a range of $30,000 for flood-proofing an addition was an approxi- mate cost. Mr. Lewis said there would be additional costs if an addition was built, because it is on a flood plain, and there would have to be excavations to the creek downstream, and the flood-proofing of properties up-stream. Under questioning by Township lawyer Michael Fowler, Mr. Patchell said that a preliminary study of the flooding potential was done last year and he said that a more detailed hydro- logy study would cost $4000. He told the hearing, however, that the results of the first study "were so bad, that it would not be worth the money for the more detailed study." The question of whether an addition could be built on the rear of the old War Memorial Library has been a central one in the long dispute over the site of a new library on the Water Street property formerly owned by Lake Scugog Lumber. Opponents of the Water Street location have main- tained that an addition is possible at the rear of the present library, which was built in 1934. Mr. Patchell testified that initial studies on the creek show a capacity of 170 cu. ft. 1sec., and in the event of a major storm, which the design standards would have to meet, the flow would "increase to 600 cu. ft. per & second. Mr. Lewis said that if an addition were built, there would have to be a flood retention area somewhere else on the property, probab- ly part of the bowling green. Mr. Lewis said the preli- minary study done by the MNR staff last year took into account the possibility of three things: flooding of the site itself, and the flood potential upstream and downstream, in the event of a major storm. Mr. Patchell said that any alteration to a stream or flood plain that increases the potential for flooding could result in civil liability for damages to properties in the event of a flood.

Expressing confidence that '"'our side has won", Mrs. Prentice did admit that she's glad the hearing is over. When asked if the objec- tors would carry their fight further if the OMB rules against them, Mrs. Prentice said "most definitely." She said they would launch a formal appeal to the pro- vincial cabinet if the decision went - against them, as a delaying tactic to allow the issue to be settled by the up-coming November 10 municipal election. "I've said all along that this issue of the library site should be decided by the public, and an election will 4 be a good way to do it," she stated. - An OMB ruling can be legally appealed to the pro- vincial cabinet within 28 © days of the date when the OMB decision is handed down. Commenting about the hearing which concluded last Thursday, Mrs. Prentice had words of praise for Joel Aldred, who acted as official agent and spokesman for the objectors who were not represented by legal counsel.
