The manager explained to council that he had investigated the costs of moving the line and had secured an estimate from a Toronto firm, He said the- company hecompany would allow the town a $5,000credit' for the line already up and would charge $47,000 to - move it, adding up to a $42,000 bill to have it shifted. PUC commissioner Harry Crane told council that the commission was not dead set against moving the line, but it • couldn't justify the expense. He explained that with cost of living, taxes and everything else up 'so high today• he couldn't understand- why the. taxpayer should -be burdened, with a' cost that is not real necessary. , • Reeve Stan Profit agreed with . the. commissioner,, pointing out that there was no. need for the PUC to bring the matter to council.

He said that council had no money to' spend on this sort of project, adding that if the PUC had the funds and wanted to move the line, they should go ahead. , . 1`That's why we're .fiere," countered Mr: Crane. "We aren't passing the buck but we don't have any,, money and the developers asked 'us to meet with council to see if the costo could be met by all three parties." ''^Bert Alexander offered a possible cost saving plan that could be investigated.' He suggested that the Toronto firm would. not be. coming here to take on the job for much less than 30, percent profit and pointed out that this money could be. saved if the PUC did the job themselves. "I'm not sure the PUC c ouldrl't do the job for the 30 percent less than the,.

"I want to stay here and' I would hate to see the area developed in a hodge podge way and that's what it looks like to nie, a bloody mess,"said the mayor.
