Catherine Christie of Ward 1 suggested that the building be converted into seven bachelor apartments. Miss Christie said that it might be possible to have some foundation invest its trust funds in such a pro- ject. If the investment was $100,000, she said, and rent: on the seven apartments was set at about $150. cach, the annual return on the investment would be $12,000, or 12 percent. Admitting that her idea was a little, "far fetched," Miss Christie nevertheless asked for time to look into all possiblilities, of the idea. "I would like you to give me time to work this out, so don't tear the building down a month. in the she pleaded. She described the building as, "impossible to replace." The Town Hall was built in 1873 by a new council headed by Port Perry's corporate founder Joseph Bigelow. Port Perry had just been incorporated as a village two years earlier, in 1871. The basement still has a cell that served as the town's meantime," (continued on page 14) P2RTQ PERRY 15¢c per copy 20 Pages Volume 108 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, Feb. 20, 1974 - No. 17 Star honoured at annual weekly newspapers convention in Toronto Honours came to the Port Perry Star and its staff when P. Hvidsten, publisher received a plaque for winn- ing first prize in the annual newspaper competition sponsored by the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Associa- tion. The plaque was presented by the 1974 president Wm. Kennedy, publisher, of Dur- ham Chronicle (the Town of Durham) who was elected president of the association at the convertion. It shows the following inscription be- low the OWNA crest in three colours: "Best Classified Page - 3001 to 4,500, (class based on circulation), 1973 - Port Perry Star". Although no prize was won, the Star also placed among the top papers in the all around class "General Excellence." The Star placed fourth in this cate-- gory, only a few points below the three winners who all. received recognition with a plaque for first and certifi- cates for second and third. The Star has always had a fairly substantial classi- fied page and the staff has paid special attention to lay-out and read-ability. This recognition it is hoped should also please the many cus- omers in constant use of the classified pages of the Star, such as real estate com- panies, auctioneers and the (continued on page 14) Wants more information from regional council At the request of Ward 3 council member Jerry Taylor Scugog council will set aside 15 minutes early in each regular meeting for the Mayor and Regional Council- lor Reg Rose to report on the activities of Durham Council. Mr. Taylor complained February 18 that people are calling him with questions about the region, and it is embarassing to admit that all he knows is what he reads in the paper. "I am a councillor and I am expected to know what is going on," he said. Besides getting better in- formation from the region councillor Taylor wants to be let in on things that happen between regular meetings effecting his ward. He said that he received a call last week asking about a change in status of a Scugog Island municipal employee and had to admit he had heard nothing about it. Scugog Council will meet tomorrow (Thursday) at 7:30 p.m. The next regular meeting which would normally have been held next Monday had to be moved up after it was learned that most council members will be, "too busy" to attend to council busi- ness next week. Mayor Malcolm along with councillors Hunter and Taylor will be at a conven- tion in Toronto Monday and Tuesday. The convention, organized by the Ontario Good Roads Assn., qualifies as an approved conven- tion for purposes of charging local taxpapers with the bills. Each member is allowed $500. a year for attending such conventions. At first council thought to delay the regular meeting until Wednesday, when t.e convention will be over However, the idea was discarded when Scugog"s re- Meeting date changed gional representative Reg Rose announced that he will not be available that day because he has to work at his other job.

Dymond, M.P.P. for Ontario, announce the approval of a provincial grant in the amount of $24,000 to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority for ac- qui<ition of flood control and conservation lands in the Community of Goodwood.
