Pig 11 THE HERALD Wednetda April IB 1S7I Recreation department under fire again recreational empire of Doug came under fire again tfali time by Leo Coxe at Monday a work committee meeting Councillor Coxe expressed concern because of a recent Incident that rendered the Hornby Hall useless for those wanting to use the facility The recreation department controls these balls they were a gift to the town and must be maintained Councillor Coxe No one had been near the building to see If the furnace was running or even if the building was Intact Recent flooding he noted bad made the furnace Inoperative and the water had been In the basement for several days before anyone aware of the problem We pay some pretty big salaries to administer this kind of thing but when people can use their own building something is wrong The works department could not gain access to the building to correct the flooding and restart the furnace since the keys held by the recreation department were not available The recreation department books the Hornby halls and has been responsible for i la use and maintenance This t be allowed to happen but no one went near that building for two weeks and I have proof of that explained Coun clllor Coxe I tied a thread across the door It waa still In place two weeks later Mayor Hill noted It is difficult to break a thread when you Just drive by in your car to inspect the building The works committee expressed their willingness to help maintain the buildings but the recreation department must carry out regular Inspections and keep the committee Informed to he conditions of the buildings at Stewart town and Hornby It was decided to meet with the recreation department to encourage more co operation in caring for the facilities operated by the department Sign sign whos got the sign Many of the new rural street signs have suddenly disappeared Peter Morris town engineer reports that hacksaws have been used to remove the new green signs that indicate concession and line numbers throughout Helton Hills Numerous traffic signs have also been damaged or removed At a cost of MO per sign it is something to worry about added Mr Morris The Ontario Provincial Police patrol the areas that have been vandalized and are persuing leads in locating the missing signs Committee tries to end confusion Why are Joseph Gibbons Park and Joseph Gibbons School over a mile apart asks the recreation advisory committee By the names you would think they would be side by side Both were named in honor of the late Joseph Gibbons for his service to the community mayor by two different groups the Georgetown Lions Club In fouding the park at George Kennedy Public School to serve the Delrex subdivision and the Halton Board of Education In establishing a school to serve Moore Park Tennis courts were one factor that dif ferentiated the two locations but as of this season Joseph Gibbons School to further confuse the issue It is difficult to say who has the first choice In establishing a name noted a member of the committee Within one month of each other the school and park were named The board of education originally selected the name Simon Public School for the newly established Moore Park school but at the suggestion of Ernie trustee far Georgetown the name was changed to Joseph Gibbons by a vote of eight to three Most schools in Georgetown bear the name of former and founding fathers of the community such as George Kennedy the founder of Georgetown Howard Wrlggleaworth and Harrison Public schools were named after past principals Since the name had been approved by the board at a July meeting and was consistent with the past policy of naming schools in Georgetown no objection was noted The board did not consult the town Funds to establish the park came from the Georgetown Lions Club and the town recreation and parks budget for landfill on June 1969 Playground equipment and the tennis courts were completely funded by the Lions Club Council financial support of the project Indicated their agreement that it was a fitting and worthwhile venture in establishing a park In honour of the late mayor although no act of council proclaiming the park as Joseph Gibbons Park is on file Since the Lions Club has made an In vestment in the town by establishing a park bearing the name Joseph Gibbons it would not be fair to order the name be changed added Mrs A meeting with the Lions Club and the Board of Education may solve the Miles for Millions Bring A Parent is the theme of the ninth annual Miles for Million Walk to be held
