Bowmanville originally bid $14,000 for the building with the understanding that the town could meet any other bids which the Crown Assets Corporation might receive. The only other bid was of $20,501 and town council decîded Monday night to take advantage of purchasing this important corner of the town. The terms of the purchase cal for 40\per cent down with the balance over a five-year peÏiod at 5 per cent interest. Club Mlakes Offer Two reasons which led council to make the decision are that the Bowmanville Rotary Club has offered to furnish the main floor of the building as a free public library and secondly there will be a need for additional town administrative offices in a central location. The first step in setting up a free library hoard was aiso taken Monday as a by-law was given its three readings and cails for the dissolving of the present Iibrary association and the appointment of a board. The board wiil consist o! the Mayor, three council appointments and three representatives ap- pointed by the Public School- Board. The council appointments are: R. G.
