850000 complex planned Continued from Pago 11 under one roof I am hopeful this site will have the full endorsement of all councillors Hyde said McKenzie said that as an Acton represent ative he could support having the municipal complex on the Seventh Line where as he couldnt if it was in the area of say the George town Market Centre He said it was the site which would best serve the entire town He thought the town had more to gain bringing everything under one roof than it had to lose Maltby agreed the Seventh Line was the best location for the municipal complex but was con cerned about the cost and heavy burden on the taxpayer It will cost each and every resident six cents a day for a year to build this For that rea son I am not totally in favor of going right ahead and building the complex but I support looking at the project further Maltby explained Armstrong noted the development committ ee has come up with a site and drawings for a building and the only move left was to find a way of financing the complex We built a new arena for about the same price and I remind you we have a municipal off ice downtown we can rent or sell and other pieces of property we can sell off to help offset the cost of this project It is just about time we got on with this project and prepare to approve it Arm strong said Mayor Hill noted the longer the town leaves the project on the shelf the more it will cost when it is built Why should we be afraid of this cost with over people living in the town Acton de- bentured a 650 water pollution control plant with only 000 people in the town so what are we afraid of Hurst wondered Treasurer Raymond King wondered if he could come up with totally accurate funding fig ures for the project in a short time especially sin ce the Ontario Municipal Board hasn approved the town s capital forecast yet Howitt assured him the committee wanted only approximate figures and was looking only for various alternatives of putting the to gether New municipal complex We will want to look at monies tucked away in slush funds lot levy revenue selling off of municipal buildings that won t be needed once the complex is completed and debenturing We just need to find out what the various atives are Howitt explained He was concerned about telling Mr Hallford to proceed with the project further until financ ing alternatives had been examined Hyde said he would be very disappointed if the council didnt say that night This is what we want and this is what we are going to do He said he thought the town should tell the architect to proceed with more planning We will have the financing worked out long before we are ready to go to tender he said I like the design I like the idea My support is behind the project subject to finding out how we are going to pay for it Howitt countered Mayor Hill and Armstrong thought finding out how the project would be financed was the only fair thing to do in respect to the ratepayers We go ahead with this and then try to see how we will pay for it Once we find that out we should go full steam ahead said He said the town may find it can raise or so through lot levies and the sale of property and then only half the project would have to be debentured King warned the councillors he wouldn t be able to come up with specific figures until next year and until then everything would be in the form of generalities McKenzie thought that was all right since the town wouldn t have to pay any bills for the complex until anyway Mr Hallford said the project should go to tender by the fall so construction could begin be fore winter arrives He added if the project t tendered by the fall the cost could go up considerably as the months slipped by You get the best price from the contractor when he thinks he has a good chance of beating the winter weather Mr Hallford noted Mayor Hill said he thought the cost was scar ing the council and reminded everyone that when the report comes back from the treasurer were the town would only have to debenture half the project The Acton Free Press Wed May 3 Lose your bicycle are still looking for the owner of a regular mens bicycle which was

the town went ahead with the pro ject that night and then wanted to back out in two weeks it would only cost 4 to I think we should gamble the 4 000 and tell the architect to proceed with the specifications We will then still have to pass a motion to tender believe we are at the point now where we are thinking positively enough to gamble 4 000 Hyde said He noted the town could still say at
