The Acton Free Press Wed July 7 Councillor reports Opposition to Municipal Building Merely a Ploy I trust that the readers at the Acton Free Press have read between the lines and have seen through the politics used to stall the addition to the administration building on Trafalgar Road in Ward The approved proposal uses existing townowned land and buildings and allows for a modest addition to house the administrative staffs for all departments Since everyone agrees that the addition is needed a delay of two or three years would only escalate coats A good example of escala Hon of costs Is the addition to the sewage disposal plant in Ward III and which was recommended for approval at an estimated cost of 1 2 million dollars in 1973 and finally approved this year at a cost of over million dollars Since we plan to finance his building by the sale of municipal- owned properties and lot levies the amount to be debentured will be within reason Only one councillor stated that he was totally opposed to the proposal and the rest of the opposition was just political maneuvering Let me Illustrate 1 We were told by one supposed ardent opponent that he would gladly support the proposal if it was to be built m one of the two urban centres of Hills The gentleman in question was not a ward I councillor Such a would more than double the estimated cost Other councillors stated that we had the wrong priori ties and that our first consideration should be to the arena and library complex in Wards III and Surely everyone knows that council has agreed to repair the old arena in Ward III and we did in Ward I and that the financing has been approved The need for additional library facilities in Ward III and has been there for many years It to gratifying to know that Ward I dealt with this need in 1967 a Other Councillors wanted proof that there would be a Halton government years from now We all know that Regional Government in Halton was not established by a democratic vote and already some coun cillors in Halton Hills say that there will be a one- tier govern ment in Halton in the near future and therefore the addition is unnecessary However the majority of councillors are working for a strong Area Council capable of assuming more regional responsibilities should the next government at Queens Park deem it advisable A central administrative building using existing land and buildings in Ward will im prove the efficiency of our local staff will have a unifying effect and will show that we are capable of administering to the needs of the people Id Its If the proposal had called for a new complex in Ward IV or to shelve it to build a library theatre complex in the same ward most certainly it would not have been endorsed by your Ward i councillors When the proposal is complete in it will provide Hills with an adequate administration building between the two urban centres that will serve our present needs and allow lor expansion if it is ever needed in the future I
