This was re- veaied by the new chairman, Mr. Ed. Haynes -of Cobourg in his address to the authority mnembers at a get-acquainted dinner meeting at the Greenwood Towers in Port Hope iast week. The Authority lias been hampered in its work through the lack of sufficient fuuds and no doubt through the laek'ý of enough driving force to becomne involved in those matters for which the autbority wýas designied. In the past as land ýcosts rose the authority backed off fromn purchasing due to lack of funds and a drive to, keep pace with the changing times. ,I the last few years Mr. Roy -Foster as chairman, had heen able to spark sorme initiative to purchiase lard resulting in the obtainleg et ofthe flall's Mill iin Baltiore and aiso a tract of land frenting, on Rice Lake. But o)ther than this the Authority lias been complacent and Iagglng behind 10n presentý day trends anld developmients. Mîr. IHaynes 'spoke of invoivement li those imatters that affect the over-ail comimunlty eùlogicalIy and hie w'vould nie to see the Authority hecomie more- invoived as weli as being a voie i the coxmunlty. He also spoke of!imore land purchase which off course means a wider financial base with incereased finanalspotfmth participatiflg commiunities wVitbin the autIhority. The importance of Conservation Authoûrities must be relzdthroughout the community as thleY are the onlY orýganizations,ý that fromn the local level of govermnent h1ave anyv control or direction towairds ensurlflg the pro-, tection of the environmieft lhi ail aspects. The powers of the At'hori ties are qIuite' extensive if theY se desire te use them aid ilithese memiber-s must stMadup and ho counte d li the- decision making. WeFx( welcome the irection g.ien y the new chair- mran .and are hopeful that themeib'hP can sec the wisdomi in this approach with their supportand ceffoorts.

Af Ici a number of motions and amendmcnts, Victoria Hall was granted only $5,000 'for the pur- pose of providing a United Count- ies' room in the building. A recommendation of $10,6000 to be included in the 1973 budget as a grant towarcls the restoration of Victoria Hall was questio ned bv Mrs. D. Brixtnell. representa- tive for Brighton Village, because as :she suggested to Council, it was creating a precedent.' Foster Russell, representative of Hamilton Toýwnship, after giv- ing a rundown of the- "old days"' at Victoria Hall, said hie realized tixere are many other historic sites to be preserved in~ the two counties, but this building was losely 'associated with council, unlike the other. Reeve Ruth Clarke o! Port Hope first suggested that the f ig- ure of $10,009 be cuft to :$5,000 because as she pointed out, there isn't any munijcipaýlity Which doesn't have somiething- it isn't trying to, restor-- e.
