12 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed. Janvary 27, 1982 Nursery school operator Region to consider freeze interested in old library There now appear to be two parties seriously inter- ested in renting the old lib- rary building on Queen St- reet once the move to the new Water Street library has been completed early this summer. Durham Region YMCA has expressed an interest in using the building as a day- care centre, and some pre- liminary negotiations be- tween the YMCA and Town- ship officials have taken place. And, council learned Mon- day that the owner-operator of a nursery school in Whitby is also interested in the build- ing for use as a nursery school for about 60 young- sters split into morning and afternoon classes.

Nancy Finnigan, a res- ident of Scugog, says in a letter to council that she has operated a nursery school in Whitby for the past five years, and is interested in re-locating this school in Port Perry. In discussions previously about what to do with the old library building on Queen Street, the position of Scugog council has been that the use of the building should be in the public interest, and that any lease or rental agree- ment whould not put a bur- den on the taxpayers. In light of the fact that there are now two parties seriously interested in the building, the matter was turned over to the finance committee for study. The new library is slated to open early in June, and it is expected that the Queen St. building will be vacant about that time. Late in 1981, the Township on two occassions placed ads in this paper asking for pro- posals on uses for the old "building. Township administrator Earl Cuddie told council Saturday 10A.M.to 5P.M.

EAST OF PORT PERRY) Monday to Friday 9A.M.to 4 P.M. PHONE 986-5096 or686-1935 on water, sewer projects Faced with a current debt of some $70 million and economic uncertainties, Durham Region council has been asked to consider a one year freeze on sewer and water capital projects. The suggestion came in a report from the Region's finance and works commit- tees presented to council last Wednesday. Regional council took no action other than to ask all the area municipalities in Durham to advise the Region by March 2, which road con- Monday there were a few enquiries about the. building then. but the only written request at that time came from the YMCA. The letter of enquiry from Ms. Finnigan about use as a nursery school was dated January 24. struction projects have been approved for 1982. That action is seen as a possible first step in moving towards a freeze this year since local municipalities try to schedule their own road works to co-incide with work by the Region on the sewer and water pipes under those roads. If Durham council was to slap a freeze on water and sewer projects, it would mean area municipalities may have to postpone some road re-construction this year. And that could lead to a bitter confrontation between the Region and some of the area municipalities. In fact, the first round in that dispute was fired last week at the Regional council meeting when Oshawa councillor Bruce McArthur made it very clear he would not support any freeze or mora- torium on Durham projects. In a joint report to council, the Region's Works and Finance committees suggest the freeze or moratorium for one year on.about $5 million worth of projects that would have to be debent , Included in Jess projects is the replacement of water mains along Highway 7A in Port Perry at an estimated cost of $220,000. | The report suggests that the ramifications of such a moratorium be considered, in light of the "current chaotic conditions in the economy" which make accurate forecasting and predictions almost impossible. Durham currently is some $70 million in debt for past sewer and water projects, although $42 million of this amount is in interest free loans, from the provincial government.
