appraised at the expense of the Rugby Construction Company The firm is interested In acquiring the land from the town for development purpos es and Is prepared to offer as an exchange land It owns south of Elizabeth Drive Town councillors were won dering however whether the company is getting the better deal The land they want is ob viously good for development and what they are prepared to offer In return Is essentially conservation type land Roy Booth said What we want to find out Is if it an evenup deal or one that involves money exchang ing hands as well clerk ad minis tor Ken Richardson said We need to get an accurate appraisal of the land before we can go any further with this exchange It was noted that Rugby Construction would be Inter ted In an even trade Committee voted to ask the construction company to pick up the tab for appraising the Mill Street property but Coun Ross Knechtel wondered if this was a good idea Perhaps we should pay for the appraisal that way we choose who does It and have control over the final results Coun Knechtel said Later we can ask them to pay for the appraisal if and when we trade Mayor Pete stated that It was a hell of a good deal for Rugby Construction which he said stands to profit by it I think however that we can effectively control the ap praisal by appointing an ap praiser of our choice Mayor said Park comprises approximately one acre and could conceivably be develop ed for seven single family lots The land owned by the con company 3 acres borders on Prospect Park with much of it in the flood plain Development opportunity would be limited by the Credit Valley Conservation Author The proposal was shelved until Mayor Pete raised the question again In late The labor situation within Bell Carada

will be a nominal fee and the listing for Acton will not change Mr Barnes stated Coun la It by asked why the Acton exchange t become a area Mr Barnes replied that the listing is a geographical
