'Busted my butt' McLarney may step down as BIA leader McLarney by Murray Moore Senior Writer Ray McLarney has in- formed the members of the Midland Business Im- provement Area that he will step down as leader unless some _ people volunteer to share the work. At the end of a five-page report to be mailed this week to every BIA member McLarney says: "I can't and won't continue past December 1988 without some: high powered help. I've busted my butt for this downtown core, which you have all profited from handsomely. If you agree, then climb on board." The BIA does not need a paid manager, McLarney said in an interview Mon- day. '"'The BIA needs so- meone with the smarts of a Ray McLarney to run it and make it work." But the organization of downtown businesses also needs peo- ple like Ralph Lynn and Ted Symons, he said. "McLarney calls for help," he suggested. The BIA members can't afford to pay a Ray McLarney to run the BIA because such a person would have to be paid $100,000, he said. McLarney is both the head of the BIA board and one of the three members of the Midland Parking Authority. In the letter, McLarney says, "We have brought Locals buy new houses Who is buying all of the new homes in Midland? Midlanders are, a subdivi- sion developer says.

The company doesn't advertise outside of the town, he said. Some local people want a_ bigger house. Some want to sell their present home and get rid of their mortgage. Couples whose children have left home want a smaller home. Pratt was asked who is buying Trillium homes during a public works com- mittee meeting. The local politicans are puzzled that although home and other. construction activity has been considerable for the last few years, according to the spring 1988 census, the town's population has not increased correspondingly. | MERCURY, a a Bourgeois Motors Ltd. is pleased to welcome LEO DUBEAU to their sales staff.

"The future, and the sav- ing of the downtown 'core, is permanently interwoven into the BIA and the Park- ing Authority. At the last meeting you agreed. Now is the time to do your part." The BIA's future lies in expansion, McLarney says in his report. "The BIA must expand and the work and machinery to make this happen are awesome." Mayor Al Roach and ed in the letter. McLarney singles them out as op- ponents of the BIA.
