Home of Hills Tilt A Division of my Linului Si South Georgetown Ontario I I New town hall okay IF we can afford it There are a few if s that should be lacked on to anyone s enthusiasm about the new town hall plans as presented last week to town council Certainly the plans and draw depict impressive new asset for this impressive new town of ours Halton Hills Don Hallford and his associates appear to have another award winner on their hands However our chief reservation as it does on so many things comes down to money Town treasurer Ray King has to assure us that we can afford it As the town senior financial advisor Mr King must take a very sceptical look at the project and all the financial implications it will hold for all Halton Hills taxpayers His observations and conclusions must not be based on whether we need a new town hall We do need it but let s face it it s not a doordie proposition Interim measures may nave to do for two or three years or even longer Kings final conclusion which he will pass on to town council must simply be whether the project is financially advisable at this time in Halton Hills history Hopefully there s a scheme by which we can finance this without going any further into debt than we already are If we have to issue further debentures for this or any other major project its about time councillors called for a full report on the town s current debenture debt status What are all these long term loans costing us in interest avenue that should be pursued by Clumbers of Com of At ton and Georgetown is a more involved role bv those two bodies perhaps in conjunction with he town in the div life of the town Most towns of similar to or Georgetown have either town offices or a Chamber of Com merce operated facility to which someone requiring information about those towns can be sent To this point in Hills history we been able to provide that thanks to the downtown municipal offices But taking the offices out of the downtown areas will mean a bigger loss than many people realize It would be wise if some group particularly the Chambers of Commerce began lo prepare some method to fill that information gap Overall we support the idea of i new town hall The divergence of department has been a pain in the neck ever since the town was treated Besides a new Hills town hill will be a major in to the region and the province that while Hills is prepared to albeit begrudgingly accept and live ith a two tier system of government there is no way wc 11 allow our local autonomy to be eroded any further with a single tier system We re willing to spend to give Hills a permanent and very visible focal point It will the the first true facility that is not linked with any former town of or former township of It will stand on its own as
