plana tbe recreation department found it should be moved to tbe aide door so a hydro pole haw to be relocated Last week Shepard reported a meeting with hydro officials revealed the pole will likely have to be moved anyway to tuff la again looking at having the ramp go In tbe front door of the rink It will be easier to put the ramp In the front door the recrea tion director said adding that entrance won necessitate tbe moving of emergency exits as would be required if the ramp went In the side door Originally Shepard put this ramp In his 1983 capital budget but now It being considered as a make work project for a federal Job creation grant ex plained for the ramp to be an eligible as a make work project It can t be a budget item However If ramp la rejected as a make work project and It a not In tbe budget there will be a problem This problem t too serious though council had Indicated earlier this year that ramp could still be built out of contingency funds included In the budget Shepard said if the ramp Is approved by council then be hopes work can begin in the spring He wants the ramp to be a priority project In tbe make work plan or In the budget but cautioned as a make work it doesn t have to be started until arch 1M4 The make work grants cover more than just labour costs and Whiting suggested the Job creation scheme Just help local taxpayers because It will pay the coat of the ramp but will also employ people now on welfare reducing Hal ton welfare rolls Grants from province to the municipality area t keeping pace with lnfla so Haltoo Kills must get every cent out of he provincial and federal government it can Councillor Ross Knechtel said While he realizes tax dollars come from all the same pockets regardless which level of govern ment la doing the spending he thought It was preferable to have the federal money come to Hills since it will be spent somewhere Shepard explained quotes peg the ramp at costing While it Isn t a big price tag project by itself it just one of or recreation department projects and all the provincial subsidies possible must be secured for these projects Plans have been developed for the ramp Did Price urged Shepard make sure that once the handicapped go up the ramp Ihey can get into the building not like the ramp at the Acton Post Office Ramps can be a great monument to the handicapped but they must also be safe practical and have footing for the person pushing tbe wheelchair Shepard said he appreciated Prices comments adding if the ramp project follows plans the front door steps Into tb rink will be adjusted

and disclosures are coming so thick and fast that it is virtually impossible to keep an uptodate record By the time you read this column even more will be known even more debates will have taken place of course David Peterson has charged that up to million has not been accounted for in the controversial sale of the ID Metro apartments These elusive assets were he a downpayment of more than million supposedly paid by a group of Ontario numbered companies to Kilderkin Invest ments as part of the mil lion sale and a total of million paid out by government adzed Crown Seaway and Greymac Trusts to Greymac Credit Corporation a a portion of million In financing for tbe apartment deal Referring to a statement In the Legislature by be Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations that ministry in vestigators had been unable to account for some million in down payment Peterson said If one is looking for elusive assets at tbe present time the total that la closer million than million The Minister repeatedly told Legislature that ha not alleging that fundi were missing although none of tbe parties present at the doting of the Cadillac sale have far refused to tell the vettlgaton bow

damages resulting from tbe sale of assets on absolutely startling powers which the legislation would confer upon govern ment Peterson that than all the more reason lor full disclosure of why such powers are required If the expects Opposition support for fast be informa tion todudlng how much Crown Trust baa lost in recant months
