present suggestions to mem bers of the 5man area trustee board mr chas mctaggart was the chairman of the order ly gathering he suggested that a committee should be appoint ed from both kinsale and greenwood to appear before a board meeting later this month with finalized plans mr geo moore said that greenwood already had an ac tive community centre board in operation and suggested that the old school could be a valu able addition to their year- round program he agreed the the library service could be maintained in the building and it the board decided at some future date that the structure was needed again for a class room it would be available we have a park and what we now need is a hall he said we would definitely like to see if we can make it selfsupporting iet it stay- mr bill clarke suggested that the old greenwood school be re tained for a period of time to see if it could be operated as a paying proposition it will cost money to tear it down he said its not falling apart

designed with the idea in mind that the old structure would be retained he pointed out that if operated as a community centre project it would have to be selfsupport ing as it would be unfair for the

year lease as a trial to see if they can be carried he said if everything is satisfac tory it would be fine if not then there would be no excuse or complaint no use to board chairman mr mctaggart in formed the gathering that the kinsale school was of no use to the area board a vacant buil ding as a rule depreciates pret ty fast he said he said that the trustees had received one offer of purchase
