to apply for a grant of for restoring the hall At their Monday night meeting Councillor James Watson explained to council members he had conferred with a contractor and there were two problems to be faced The fust problem was that under the terms of the program a minimum of in labor manhours must be filled Finish by May 31 Watson explained the deadline for the program is May 31 and the renovation of the hall might not be done in time to meet the dead line The requirement of the 000 in labor hours might not be met if at some time during the winter a material shortage or weather conditions caused a temporary layoff There was a good chance the township might miss out on the grant He said he also met with building inspector who had agreed to write the Federal Government asking for a reduction of the labor requirement from to Adopt amended official plan Watson said he was going to contact John the Hal ton M to discover d It were possible for the renovation of the hall to begin next November under next winter program Rather not work Die second problem under the program mentioned was the pay for workers The contractor told me he would have difficulty In employing men who would work lor an hour which the program pays when these men could receive more money on welfare Watson noted rhese programs look like a tood thing but you have to look closely at them be concluded
