Mr. Aldred said he didn't think he had '"'unduly har- assed" the Board or the chairman in asking for min- utes of the building commit- tee meetings and other re- ports relating to the new Water Street building pro- ject. But he did say there could be a "little more har- come frozen into the water on top of the ice will probably have to be cut off with a chain saw, and the portion that remains in the ice could pose a problem for boaters this spring. Te : Ms. Lewis said that checks officers indicate there is still about a foot of ice off Caes- area, but it is very soft and mushy around shore. She said there is no plan to ban ice huts on the lake next winter, but there will be a shortening of the season for pickerel. "But banning the huts is always a possibility and that would reduce the pressure on the fish population," she stated.

Thus, any ban on the huts will have to be studied very carefully. HEAT CHEAPER SAS! DO YOU QUALIFY? Up to $800.00 Federal Grant is Available If you Change your Oil Furnace to Gas or Electric. H 1981 Preston returns as Library Bd. Chairman years is an appointee by the Durham Board of Education, and it was the Board of Education which confirmed = Mr. Preston's appointment to take her place for the remainder of her term which expires at the end of this year. Mr. Preston told the Star that he will "probably not seek another term on the Board" after this year, but said he agreed to accept the appointment last week to help direct the new library building project. "Now that we have appro- val from council for the site, we'll be going to tender in the near future, and construc- tion could start in the late summer or early fall," he stated. . Meanwhile, the Library Board has received a further extension of the Wintario grant application from May until the end of this year. This will allow more time for fund raising by the expan' sion finance committee as the year's delay in getting the building off the ground has added to the original estimated cost of $315,000. It is now thought that the cost of the building will be closer to $400,000. The Town- ship's share of that cost is fixed "at $100,000, withthe remainder coming from Wi-____ ntario and the fund raising efforts of the committee. Mr. Aldred said he would be sending two letters to Scugog council, the first in- forming councillors of his resignation, and the second at a later date, giving pre- cise details why he has dec- ided to step down. Mr. Aldred's decision me- ans that Scugog council will have to make a new appoint- ment to the Library Board.
