Last warning issue
on Sunset Hotel
Town council will issue -one
last warning to the owner of the
Sunset Hotel to board it up- and
clean up the property or have
the town do it at his expense
starting August 1. •
The owner, a London man,
has been asked several times to
take the action needed to make
the former luxury hotel safe but
prospective -- buyers have been
looking at the building and the
owner _asked the matter be
deferred until the transaction
was completed one . way or
another.
• The owner also informed
council he felt the • taxes would
be halved if the town. boarded
up the building; which ' would
pay for the cost of the work.
Council learned Thursday night
taxes would ,remain unchanged,
whether the building was
boarded up or not. -
A letter from the provincial
assessment office • stated the
taxes would not increase -due to
the improvement the °' building
would gain from the work, but
taxes would not be decreased
either as consideration has
already - been given in the
assessment of the building to its
..elapidated condition.
Coun. Ed. Geisbrecht asked
council to act now, but at the.
suggestion of Deputy Reeve

chairman in the absence of

and Reeve Harry Worsell, one
last warning will be, issued. •
