Council's committee of management of Huronview recom- mended to council that the food delivery system at the institution required Modernization. That inodernization basically meant that the com- mittee did away with meals on wheels and arranged for a new and more efficient method of getting meals from the kitchen to the residents. Huronview "ad- ministrator .Chester Archibald ,told council that the decision to_ upgrade the food delivery system was made out of necessity. He said the .meals on wheels unit, which is basically a large wheeled unit capable of holding a large number of food trays white keeping the. _food hot, was_at the end of its road and had to be replaced. He said the ministry of community and social services refused to sanction purchased of another meals on wheels unit the same as the one now in use because ,they are no longer on the market•and parts for repairs for the units are very difficult, if not impossible, to get.

If the Sports Com- mittee maintained jut- sidiction over the park they would have to hire fieorile- to clean Ow grandstand after nice nights, which could ilso be too costly for the group primarily interested in fund raising. Eileen Palmer, who attended the meeting, is member of the finance committee, said that clarification on the jurisdiction of the grandstand is needed but the board must he careful about using tax dollars. The Sports Committee is pledged to raise money for the new grandstand Without using tax money.
