The plan also detaile d services required for such a develop- ment which inluded a beach building, picnic pavilion, washroomn facilities, admnin- istration office etc. The plan also designed certain -areas for each portion of the development and spoke of sonne development to create a beach area at the lake front. The plan was approved in principal and wil1 be further considered by the Authority and the Mlinistry. Thbe plann- ers stated that the entîre cost of the proposal would reach $560,000.00 if carried out in ils entirity. The first phase would cost some $240,000.00. t appeared the general feeling of the Authority that nothing would be done until the Ball's Mill pro ject is completed. There appeared some interest in the Rice Lake a rea being used in the immediate future-as a pack and picnic area where picnic- ers would have to leave their cars at a parking lot -and walk intooa picnic area.
