But it was also an expearience she wouldn‘t want to have again, she said. After considerable discussion the vestry decided to appoint a comâ€" mittee to secure architectural plans and estimates for the latter plan and to report back to a special vestry meeting. The report of the committée. apâ€" pointed at the last vestry meeting to suggest plans for additional acâ€" commodation for the Sunday school and the choir was presented by Gordon Squibb. The committee ofâ€" fered two plans to the vestry. The first was to build a second storey on the present parish hall at an approximate cost of $30,000. The other plan suggested was the buildâ€" ing of a new addition to the church on the northâ€"west side, providing a basement and room that would provide the necessary accommodaâ€" tion, This was at a cost of some $10,000. _‘ In replying, Mr. Evans said that he was resigning due to ill health.

The parking lot behind the Kresge proâ€" perty would not be sufficient for the whole town, he contended. Action on the part of Weston‘s municipal council and the Wet Business Men‘s Association to solve the parking and traffic probl was demanded this week by Chief Constable J.
