BG Tho Acton Press Wednesday Sopt 6 What will be the end Almost ago the people of Acton decided wanted and needed a Town Halt as n focus of community activities It cost them and wo paid for over a twenty years in 1978 the cost of restor that old building on Jos Adims lot would be What a staggering What a frightening ample of the decline m a dollars value 1881 was a lot of money remember the squabble over whether the building cost or then supported the building of a Town Hill most of them did it any rati in spile of the sum of monej its ion Now we come to the question of whether we should spend in other sum of money to keep it if not the center of onitnunity it least the tenter if community history Is it worth sin nig Thit on your feeling for history jour sentiments and One Councillor

and behold you end up with old one There really no potential year old buildings It ft m hae all fallen to progress If the Town Hall goes there v ill be a old building in Acton ind we will ill be poorer for the fact Well then what Ins the Town Hall Restoration Committee done First of all it completed study to determine what had to be done to restore the Town Hall and what it would cost It applied to the Heritage Foundation for a grant lo help pay for restoration and was in effect refused because the municipality would not con tribute to the restoration It applied lo Ihc Foundation in Calgary but while they- felt the restoration was worthwhile it did not fill within their guidelines so no grant A p a request is in h a for a grant but no appear to be pro m because the pi is not putting a in They might no ho if eitnensput in through pmati donations The Committee his rused money through the sale of prints plates other activities lo pay the costs of the feasibility studs but is
