Council sets priorities Continued from page 1 Responding to the suggestions for waler main improvements, Councillor Sparling said, "As a councillor it's difficult for me to look at something like that and think something else is more important." Reeve Lee said that he was con­ cerned about the council chambers and office not being barrier free saying that he felt by 1995 or 1996 the government would insist that be changed. "I just would like to see us be reasonable about what we have as an infrastructure project," said Councillor Sparling. Councillor Bailey agreed. "I think if we're going to spend, it should be on services to the peo­ ple." After Ms Grubb warned council­ lors that they may be surprised at how costly the water main work would be, Councillor Sparling sug­ gested that the projects be priori­ tized. "We know we can't do them all at once," Councillor Bailey said.
