clear the cross bar in the high

off to come and see the boys and

Municipal Offices,
To Be Moved
(Continued from Page One)
Mayor Miller: The new public
school will be filled to capacity
within nine months and they will
need more rooms, I doubt that
the, Municipal Board would allow
us to issue more debentures until
the present ones are paid off. We
will have to give the school board
some space in the old school.
Knights: Even if they used up
all of the top floor there's plenty
of room downstairs for us. We had
thought of renting the top floor
for offices to doctors, dentists,
etc. Would the clerk not be able
to use the vault here for the win-
ter? Changes. will have to be
made, of course,, but perhaps a
large second-hand safe would do
the job temporarily.
Clerk Holland presented esti-
mated costs on the projected
move. Removing the partition be-
tween the two centre lower -floor
classrooms and placing a steel
beam to carry the weight of the
upper floor, approximately $290.
This double room would be used
for a council chamber. The pres-
ent teachers' room would be suit-
able for police office, -and cells
could be placed adjacent. For re-
making the east end of the hall,
closing off the stairway and build-
ing a room there for the assessor,
was estimated at $200. A vault
in the room at the south east cor-
ner for the clerk's ,office was esti-
mated at approximately $1,020,
using the door of the present
vault. Repair of the plaster on
the main floor was at $200. Also
price on a suitable building with
six doors to house the two fire
engines, truck and grader, com-
plete and insulated, at $6,500.
Coun. Draper: Don't think the
fire department would quibble a -
about going up there. It's just
breaking down something that's
been going on for over 100 years.
This is a little hard to take. I
don't believe the town offices
could move up there without oth-
er units. As I look at it, it would
not be feasible.
Reeve Nediger: Cost of buying
the building mentioned for pur-
chase as a garage on main street,
would be $4,000.
Coun. M. J. Agnew: Look. Is
there insurance on the building
here? Suppose it blamed. Then
you'd go directly to the school.
Well, let's pretend that it has
burned. That one is the better
building. I think the public would
like to see this move. Besides,
the offices here on main street
are' just too handy to receive
gripes. If the complainers had to
walk a block, maybe they'd forget
about it.
Pegg: I understand we cannot
sell the Library Park. It was
deeded to the town with some
rider to that effect. Suppose we
move up to the school on a temp-
orary basis. What would be the
absolute minimum expense? It
looks to me as°if the vault here
could be used for the time. The
stairway must not be changed.
The clerk and assessor could
share the same office as they are
doing. The police office there is
ready to move into.
(At this point in the discussion
the councillors went to the old
school in a body, along with mem-
bers of the " press and the two
citizens who had attended the
meeting. Your reporter will not
comment on this visit, except to
state that all councillors were in
complete accord in pleasure at
the )good condition of the build -
Discussion. continued in the
board room.
Deputy Reeve Crich: Do you
feel that we should have a public
meeting to receive ideas?
Reeve Nediger: A good repre-
sentative meeting would be a good
thing if we could get it.
Coun. Agnew: I spoke with a
professional man at noon (a mem-
ber of the CDCI board) who was
very much in favour of us using
the old school, You won't please
everyone. I - move that we go up
to the school, leaving major alter-
ations for another date. If it was
good enough for our children to
live and work there, then it is
good enough for us. We can step
right in. (This motion was sec-
onded by Sehoenhals and carried.)
If we get settled in there then we'
can present the other space for
rent; as offices, etc.
Knights: We're well advised to
MONT. up as soon as possible.
Mhave to ber: The
heated hallwill
villswe
do with the town hall?
Sehoenhals: Suggest closing
hall, with exception of fire hall.

Stanley: Would suggest renting
offices.
Nediger: Such renting would
have to be done with the provis-
ion that the building might be
sold.
Agnew: Might tear it down, use
brick for new fire hall.
Miller: We need a parking lot.
Clerk; With no one occupying it
the insurance available for the
building drops to merely salvage
insurance.
Miller: We should not decide a -
about the town hall now.
Crich; Wrecker might buy it.
Pegg; Land value is big item.
Agnew: Let's advertise it for
sale,
On motion of Knights seconded
by Stanley, it was decided that
the building be offered for sale
through advertisements across
Ontario, and that offers would be
considered at the next regular
meeting on October 12.
