Decision unanimous Continued from page 1 in town but it should be done right," Reeve Workman said. Eventually councillors were unanimous in their decision. "If we have to find $15,000 (extra) then let's find it," Councillor Hahn said. "If they're not finished in Decem ber then so be it." "I think we should borrow the money," Councillor Greg Wilson agreed. "It will help in the long run to service the industrial park." Financing for the project will be through the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in a short-term loan then paid for out of the special projects budget in 1995. tender sions in the project, one which will see Tentest installed under the steel roofing to prevent condensation, at a cost of $1,834.87, and one which will reduce the lumber used in strapping the interior, at a saving of $1,323.74. Construction is expected to begin almost immediately although the official announcemerit of approval of the grant has not been made. The council was earlier notified of the size of the grant even though the specific project must be approved. "It has to be done, that's all there is to it," Reeve Gordon Workman warned. "Nobody wants to see you get in trouble and that's what's going to happen if something isn't cleaned up." "You can count on it," Mr. McWhirter said. LOSE UP TO 10 lbs. In 3 Days!
