Business only paid the own this year purchase and demolish Ihe Newmarket Motor building That leaves in the kilty to build he town hall the mayor would then survey each town department to sec how much space they would require In the new building call or an architects design call for than is in ihe kitty debenture for Proposal keeps town hall alive Continued from page over a year ago when Ottawa froze all urban renewal grants Earlier in the evening both the mayor and Salisbury had come under fire from Councillor Aubrey Smith The mayor said he accepted the criticism but a hot exchange between Smith and Salisbury resulted Speaking from a prepared text Smith first charged the mayor with hav ing poor communications with other members of council He said the St building was offered months ago to the town at the price the owner paid for it in that after some private discussions Depu ty Reeve Bruce Eves had indicated he fa vored purchasing it he later voted against purchasing Smith went on to say Before council had a to discuss it especi ally with its admlnitration group It was front page news in The Era 1 think this was poor communications by the mayor and caused some embarrassment and hard feeling He turned on opponents of the purchase who had claimed they were un informed about the controversial meeting of five members of council that approved the purchase later to have the decis ion upset by a meeting attended by eight councillors Now I read in last weeks town paper that some of these members of council claim they did not know it was a special meeting of council and I say that this is an outright lie and on excuse to delay the resolution or kill it This would be a good deal for this own and in no way could this town lose on this venture By buying this pro perty we can control future expansion and development The potential is un- It would create more commer cial assessment if this potential devel oped and this is what the town needs due to the fact that we have no Industry and will not have any industry because we have no large parcels of land available for industry and because we all know that annexation Is out until regional go vernment takes over if it ever does The councillor said Main St frontage the burned out build ing sold for 1000 a foot and the town would only be paying a foot for the Newmarket Motors building He like the mayor later sugges ted the towns Cane Parkway site for apartments and selling it to pay It a new own hall should not cost the town any money whatsoever if He accused Reeve Salisbury of pulling a fast one at an earlier meeting when as chairman he ruled the might ha He said both the town clerk and solicitor later said the reeves ruling had no basis in the towns procedural bylaws I feel Mr Salisbury knew this and anybody who would stoop so low as this just because he has the inability to sec the potential involved and the in creased commercial assessment that could bo created and because he was against the resolution is certainly not the type of man want representing this town or county at county level as warden next year and this is what I hear ru mored Reeve Salisbury replied Theres been no fast one pulled by any member this council unless it was by you when He that Smith was one of the councillors elected on an antiurban renewal stand He said the building owner a Toronto man had been promoting the sale by visiting Smiths and councillors homes and charged theres something fishy Councillor Seneca Cook also pro tested he had not known about the con troversial special meeting of council be
