use for park purposes and the designated area in lake view was useless as there wasnt any ent rance to it he said he would rather spend the money on paving the entrance to the ar ena mr braida was of the opin ion money could be belter spent to fill in the swamp at the north side of the arena and fix up the eyesore at that side of fairy lake mr ahernc claimed this could cost in the neighborhood of a half million dollars and thought the conservation authority might be interested in doing something there we cant sit slill and stagnate we have to move forward he declared in continuing he told members we are not appointed lo save money but to provide service and park facilities ii we dont do this we might as well go home and this is what i intend lo do he again asked the board lo consider a plan for the glenlea park area and do a little each year lets make this a cen tennial project or forget it and do nothing we have no long- range plan of development we just sit and wait for something lo happen and decide whether were going to do anything since i came on the board xve have had only one decent meet ing and that was the budget meeting the rest were a shambles he stressed mr braida asked mr ahernc il he would be willing to draw up a one mill budget and pres ent it to council for next year lo develop glenlea park and received the answer certainly from his colleague thats where we dilfer someone has lo hold the line replied mr braida why should we be the ones replied mr aherne mr williams was of the op inion that if money was going lo be spent it should be on the parking lot at the arena but noted this was a none of con tention between parks board and recreation committee mr ji aherne said the parking lot has a problem for the past 10 vears all of a sudden it be comes no i why he asked mr harding said he would likelo obtain a price on paving the parking area from ihc ent rance to the park to the arena building and was authorized to obtain prices the chairman was also authorized to contact the town clerk to see if any feasible plan for- development of glenlea parkwas possible in conclusion mr braida stated my main objective whe ther we accomplish anything or not is to hold the budget i dont think we have been sil ling on our hands this xear to which mr ahcrnes reply- was j do present for the meeling were chairman george williams gor don harding nino braida and
