choice last week when It requested an independent review boards on the future of the former Acton town hall Clerkadmlnlstrator Richardson confirm that under the rules of the provincial Heritage Act the town is obliged to plead its cane for the building historic al designation before a conservation review board and submit all objections to the plan Therefore councillors agreed a resolution endorsing last week committee decision would be redundant and un necessary However council decid ed that lawyers represent the town should attend the hearings which are as yet unscheduled because Mr Richardson said the board operates quasi Judicially The town does not have to follow the recommendations of the board which la set up under provisions of the Act Councillors want the historical
