committee Examiner Photo the examiner Wednesday May 10 1978 On deadline for firehall proposal Council stands on decision City council will not renege on its decision to give Historic Properties Group Ltd of Toron to until May 31 to come up with an acceptable redevelopment proposal for the Collier Street Fireball Despite an attempt by Aldermen Nelson Ganett and Hon Lynch Monday to get coun cii to call off the deal council stood by its decision Councils general committee last week gave the firm until the end of the month to arrange loan from the Ontario Heritage Foundation to pay for renovating the ltMyearold building Historic wants to renovate Officials probing for cause of fire Fire officials are questioning possible witnesses to fire at vacant house on liayvicw Drive early Saturday says Thief Jack McAllister Fire spread through the base ment of the house causing con siderable damage and raising quest ions among fire and police officials as to how it got started Ihief McAllister says Dominic iacobucci of Iriasco investments Ltd in Wiliowdaie owns the house and is still try ing to determine what in surance if any there is for the house and any contents The Ontario Fire Marshal office has been notified he said the Fireball and rent it to restaurant chain It the firm can come up with deal acceptable to council the city will lease the building to Historic for 25 years with an option to extend the lease for an additional 10 years Historic will pay the city five per cent of its gross annual rental income for the lease Aid Garrett urged council to reverse the general committee decision saying Historic had un til May to present the city with an acceptable offer OFFERS TURNED DOWN But three offers the firm made were turned down because they required the city to rent space in the Fireball for an art gallery and theatre he said Aid Garrett said he feared council would give Historic extension after extension after extension to allow the firm to come up with suitable offer The debate on whether to save the building or tear it down has been going on since April 1973 he said Council has received numerous petitions one with 3400 signatures asking for demolition of the fireball Aid Garrett said but council cant seem to make up its mind it appears that the people who elected us to make deci sions are better at making deci sions than we are he said However Mayor Ross Archer said he will not support further extensions of the May 31 deadline Aid Ernie Rotman who led councils opposition to Historics three proposals re quiring the city to rent space in the fireball said this last op portunity should be given to the firm which is supposed to be our saviour But hope it will be the last proposal council will have to consider he said OUR AFTERTHEWINTER SALE
