constructed this summer at th north and of main street is another for ward step in georgetown s commercial pro gress and an indication that a growing population ts having a salutary effect on the business community instigator of the move is sid silver owner of a store which has been one of the towns leading businesses since ft was es tablished by his father the late hyman sil ver mr sirver purchased the doimng cor- daro block last fall with the provision that tt be demolished so he could proceed with building plans for this choice property now be has announced that a new building will house a number of retail stores end business offices it is one of a continuing series of moves which have helped the downtown area through the years and follows construction and elsewhere too the downtown area is not the only one in which changes are contemplated plans of the development firm which purchased the delrex holdings are for an nlargement of the plaza area to accommo date more stores and there is a possibility too of a theatre sometime in the future with murray motors moving to a large new building on mountamview road two brothers have taken over thmr former high way

of the municipal offices also in the cards is conversion of the old christian reformed church into offices for halton and peel trust company which is located in temporary quarters on mill st the building was originally the station for the suburban railway then was used as a dairy until it was acquired by the church next logical step for downtown would be the return to use of the old roxy

parking area at the rear the iga added a large area to its prop erty in georgeview plaza a few years ago to boost this part of the towns commercial expansion and there will doubtless be commer cial
