liquor laws and strictures aimed at socalled lifestyle advertising would be brought before the house next spring Mancinis bill which would have increased the age to 19 from 18 was approved by 72 to29 margin in free vote which released MPPs from following any party line The result showed divisions within every party Even the cabinet was split down the mid dle with 13 of the 26 ministers voting in

Street firehall needs im mediate interior propping to ward off great danger that the roof will collapse under the weight of winter snow Alan Zeegen Toronto structural engineer told The Examiner today But Zeegen who examined the disused building this week said the firehall is still basically sound building Zeegen who has been consulted on the firehall in the past was called in by city of ficials after some members of city council ex pressed fears the building might not be able to stand through the coming winter Council is expected to decide next month on the fate of the iooyearold building which was formerly scheduled for restoration as city arts centre Zeegen said today he will report formally to RICHARD PRYOR good condition Actor suffers heart attack PEORIA Ill AP Comedian Richard Pryor was in good condition in has itals in tensive coronary care unit Thu after suffering what his grandmother said was heart attack The wearold star of such films as Car Wash Silver Streak was admitted to the Methodist Medical Centres emergency room Wednesday night after suffering chest pains said his grandmother Marie Bryant former Peoria resident Pryor now lives in Beverly Hills Calif Pryor who briefly had his own television show this season had been visiting his grand mother who celebrated her birthday during the weekend the city next week His report will include an estimate of the cost of propping up the building He said he has not yet estimated the cost but the probable expense is not terrible amount of money Zeegen said the firehall would probably be able to stand without propping if winter were not approaching Work done on interior walls this summer under federal Local Initiatives Program grant is partly to blame for the current struc tural problem Zeegen said He said workers made openings in the walls without adequate propping Additional propping would have probably been necessary anyway he said but the LIP work certainly didnt help the situa tion Zeegen said he found nothing this week which would indicate that the building is not fit to restore In my opinion the basic fabric of the building is sound he said The looyearold firehall has been the sub ject of longrunning conflict between those who want it restored as city arts centre and those who want it demolished City council voted earlier this year to pro ceed with the arts centre project but backed away from the project after tenders for firstphase restoration contract came in over budget The city has since called for proposals from private investors for restoration and opera tion of the building on longterm lease Pro posals are due Dec and recommendation on the building from consultants workin the citys $61000 core revitalization stu is also expected by that date Injunction bid on
