IN L J e $150,000 Price Tag Purchase 2.4 acre parcel (From Page 1) $10,000 will come from the Park Fund. The actual sale price of the land is $150,000, with the additional $5,000 going for legal fees for the transaction which will be paid by the Township. The 2.4 acres was the last privately owned parcel along the Port Perry waterfront. Last year, when Lake Scugog Lumber was making plans to move its retail store and lumber yard to a new location on the Oshawa Road, owner Ted Griffen offered the land to the Township at a price of $150,000. When the previous council voted last summer not to buy the land, Mr. Griffen sold it to Ken Jackson, who owns Mother Jackson's Kitchens, and it the founder of Flamingo Pastries. The transaction between Mr. Griffen and Mr. Jackson was to have closed at the end of this month, and members of 'the council finance committee said that one of the reasons for buying the land at this time was to save legal fees. : In voting to buy the land, the council also passed a resolution to thank Mr. Jackson for his 'public spirited attitude." Council lor Jerry Jackman explained that Mr. Jackson had offered the land to the Township for the same price that he bought it for, and he added that' Mr. Jackson indicated that if council did not decide to buy the land at this time, the offer at the same price would have remained open at a later date. THE PLANS Just what the Township plans to do with this choice piece of real estate has not been decided at this time. However, the six year capital forecast prepared by the finance committee and accepted in principle by the full council contains a recommendation that a new municipal building be constructed for Township offices and a library. Members of the finance committee stressed that while the recommendation has been accepted in prin- ciple, the council has not HOSPITAL REPORT Week Ending April 19th Admissions...........c..c......

And whether a new library can be included in any future building plans is not a certainty either as that decision will rest to a large part on the feelings of the present library board which is now in the process of planning an addition to the War Memorial Library building on Queen Street. The ¢ouncil and the Library Board were to meet last night (Tuesday, April 24) to discuss the possibility of including a new library in any future plans for a new municipal building on the waterfront site. While the council has not made a decision to actually proceed with construction of a new municipal building on the waterfront site, the first step in laying the financial ground-work has been taken. Council April 17 voted in favour of a resolution from councillors Reg Rose and Jerry Jackman that the Township seek permission from the Ontario Municipal Board to finance by ten-year debenture the construction of a new municipal building and a new Works depart- ment garage in Ward 1. Finance committee chairman Reg Rose ex- plained that seeking OMB approval to finance does not necessarily mean that the Township will have to proceed, but the approval from OMB is necessary "to cover the cash flow' when and if the council decides to actually go ahead with the construction. REG ROSE The Six year capital fore- cast by the finance commit- tee suggests an estimate of $750,000 for a new library and municipal office building (based on 1500 sq. ft. at $50). However, the capital forecast predicts that the municipality will receive $675,000 in/ park and lot levy fees wey e next six years, Choral Society lifts spirits at Spring concert | by Diane Lackie How do you open a show without a curtain? The Scugog Choral Society showed Port Perry how in their rousing spring musical, direction of diligent Grace Hastings, the mixed chorus of some thirty-five singers pleased the large audiences with a wide variety of musical material, including choral, specialty, and solo numbers. Highlights of the musical evenings were introduced in various forms. Gifted pianists Gloria Forder and Dr. Tom Millar duelled their way through some spendid Tschaikovsky -- and a familiar oriental number. Square dancers twirled onstage in the Oklahoma medley, the music for which also featured Herb Vine, David Menzies, John Stone, Bruce McMillan, Catherine Millar, Linda Sullivan and CLUMPS Beautiful 3 Stem Clumps Shade Trees - Fruit Trees - Evergreens Shrubs - Peat Moss - Fertilizers - etc. FREE ESTIMATES ON LANDSCAPING ANALDA GARDEN CENTRE 5 Miles East of Port Perry - 9864771 Hwy. 7A at West v4 Line When calling please Tet phone ring continously, since we are often in the field and cannot reach the phone within a few rings Bill Slute in solo or duet roles. The Ladies choir presented their salute to this Year Of The Child with an unusual rendition of the opera Hansel and Gretal -- - low keyed, saccharin, but ambitious. Narration was capably handled by Betty Dobson. Other highlights saw Glen Larmer and David Menzies spotlighted as lead perfor- mers in the well-known Whiffenpoof Song and Dry Bones, respectively. A moving version of The - Streets of Gershwin, always difficult, being served superbly by Marion Rodway with her tingling Summer- time, Sandra Blakney with The Man I Love, John Stone with I got Plenty O' Nothin', and Gloria Forder on the Hall's new grand in Gloria's version of Rhapsody in Blue. The programmes were climaxed with an imagina- tive multiple arrangement of the favourite New Orleans jazz classic When The Saints Go Marching In; then the Choir 'closed the curtain' with 'bye'. Director Hastings, accom- panists Forder and Millar, Choir President Kent Farndale, and all who worked so hard on this pleasing local production well earned their roses. Next on the Society's programme may be a full- scale fall production of Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. Stay tuned - and be a Grand Supporter! and the sale of several Township properties in- cluding the present munici- pal office site could bring as much as $265,000. If the council decides later this year or next year to go ahead with actually ap- proving construction of a new municipal building and library, councillor Reg Rose said the permission to finance the project by the OMB will have been made and the revenues that come in over the next five or six years could be used to pay off the debenture or some form of short-term bank financing.
