They have borrowed money and always repaid," he said. "We have given annual grants to the Laketown Band, minor hockey and recently figure skating but every case is taken on its own merit. I have no hesitation in voting in favor of a loan and I will vote in favor of a grant with sane reservation." John Doherty argued that precedents had already been set by council in reference to both grants and loans. "We've been giving grantsfor years and council made a loan of $5,000 to the ball league for lights," he ' said. "I will support the loan and grant." Deputy -reeve Bob Allen claimed the association's financial difficulties . were not a result of mismanagement but unfortunate circumstance, "When the new grandstand was built the tote board and hub rails were damaged and had to be replaced," he said. "I will support them or there will be no racing." Councillor Jim Searls was adamant in his refusal to endorse the motions claiming the association acted. irresponsibly in completing the work before getting authorization. a---- "The town receives nothing from racing although it might benefit some people," he said. "Thetown will be responsible if they let groups spend this way," - Elsa Raydon opposed the, grant -loan sebum in- P 41 1.oLricJpouid fees rise sisting racing was more of a business than recreation adding that the association operated in an "un- businesslikesnanner." The closure of the old granstand didn't prevent any activities from taking place except racing she added Councillor Glen Carey said the association should not be eligible for a grant in consideration of the manner in which they completed the work at the track. "It is apparent the work was done with no notification to the town and then they requested assistance after the fact," he said. "Why should the town honor a request for a grant? You don't get the work done -and ask for. $5,000 becuase yofl don't have the money." However, Carey conceded that the raceway provided valuable summer recreation and was more than a business. He suggested a loan could be drawn up. Kea Crawford of the Trotting Association told council that racing had some beneficial side effects on the town. He said the town received $9,000 in rental fees for race nights and that other groups raised money through a viable concession operation. 'Crawford defended the credibility of the association and said a $5,000 loan could be paid back with an association bond maturing in 1982 andfrom concession profits over the next two years.
