The Huron Expositor, 1949-08-12, Page 3�}1 l., 07 Before ,. rot; :Vote MONDAY, AUGUST 15 On the Proposed Seaforth and District MEMORIAL RECREATION CENTRE • At the last public. meetingin confection with the proposed Memorial Recreation Centre, it was the unanimous decision of that meeting to ask the Town Council to take further steps to establish a Memorial .Centre under the relevant Provincial Acts. 4 To this end the Council of the Town of Seaforth has called for a vote on Money °By -Law No. 503, of 1949, so that the sum of $40,000 may be made available towards the erection of a Com- munity Centre. ,• But, get this straight! $40,000 is the MAXIMUM amount that you are voting on. That is the stand Seaforth is taking. That is Seaforth's share of the proposed Community Centre — Not, onecent Tore! ! - Get this straight, too! You will pay taxes on exactly 540,000, and not $105,000, as falsely -[reported by press and radio. Your taxes will be approximately 2 mill's, or, in other words, $2.00 on each $1,000 of assessment. • • Get this straight, too! The estimated cost, submitted ' by a competent contractor, of the proppsed Centre, is $75,000. The building will be constructed so.that an artificial ice plant can be readily installed. Remember! Seaforth's share is just $40,000. • Grants and promised donations will raise the total to $60,000. Volunteer labour and public subscriptions must make up the balance required. But, get this straight, too. The Centre will not be started untilall the funds required are assured. The Towncannotaccept a building with .a debt. • Do not be misled by statements of those who oppose this progi es - sive plan for our Town, who suggest the Town will be run into a debt of $105,000. It won't be! $40,000 is Seaforth's share the rest must be forthcoming, or the project will not go through. • An artificial ice plant will cost $30,000. If the generous dona- tions of the people of Seaforth and surrounding Municipalities amount to thatsum, then an artificial ice plant will be installed; otherwise it won't be. • Have you got it straight? You're voting to authorize a 840,000 Municipal share in a Community Memorial Recreation Centre. Nothing more! Don't be misled by wanton distortions of the facts. • Surely you, as Ratepayer, agree the sacrifice of those from Sea - forth who gave their lives in World War II, justifies action on the part of the Town in commemorating their valiant deeds. This living Memorial will do that, and at the same time provide a centre where, the young people of Seaforth may participate in supervised activities. The Memorial Centre is an investment in future citizens. • We must have Community spirit, Community pride, ,Community farsightedness if we are to keep our enviable position as a pro- gressive town. Don't vote against progress! Smaller towns than Seaforth may put us to shame. • GetOut and Vote YES!
