Canvass Ta Buy United (hurcl
At a largely attended meeting,
on ,Saturday night—the second of
the week—it was decided that an.
Urban and rural canvass be made
with a view to' raising a .Suffici-
ent fund to purchase thLuck-
now United Church shed and thus.
retain ,it as a cornimunity shed,'
This, action resulted aft e r
reeves ofneighboring rural 'm.
icipalities showed noun?
. inclination
to enter into • .any :'purchase lar-
rangemenit whereby . a taxation
levy. would be required in their
respective. townships, and they
gave., sound ' and reasonable reas
ons for taking this stand.
Ernie Ackert was re -appointed
chairman of the meeting, and.
again pointed out ,that the: shed
'was: now a liability, 'rather than
any use,' to the Church, •but that,
the Board did not. -wish" to.'fake
any action '' to dispose of . it to
private' interests, if .the >commun-
• ity • wished to, retain . it as .a shed.
During the courseof the meet
-
nig it was ' revealed that the
Church. Board had met the, 'pre
ious evening. and had set a price,
of $1,600 on the •building; only
if it is purchased 'as a commun-
ity ahead. Private, interests .Offer-
ed tq pay More.than .that , for it,
