It was found that wiring to the clock was in poor shape and that sealing of the glass or new glass would be needed. Otherwise it was felt the clock was still capable of operation.

"We then ap- proached the Region of Durham Public Works for support only to receive discouragement and little support," said Windatt. The representative said there were pro- blems but they were not insurmoun- table. Windatt said the proposal had to then be scaled down and the com- mittee was disappointed.
