ihgjyiembets re to wit without industrial commission one of tile most controversial facets of municipal business the past few years has been appoin tment of an industrial commis- the commission has been composed in a variety of ways originally it was a combination of recommendations from the chamber of commerce and jay cees with additions named by council another year it beca me strictly council appointees last year it was divorced from council completely and once members were appointed the commission acted on its own riiy to groups like the libra xy board and cemetery commis sion the commission was appoint cd by council to act as sales a gent for an industrial acreage obtained in a land release deal b with delrex developments al though reserving final author ity with council for sales this year council hit a snag when it decided that to prov ide liason between the two croups there should be council lots sitting on the commission a variety of plans were pro posed and finally reappoint ment of six members with councillors hyde and ballenbne added was approved by coun- the commissioners were nol 1 enthusiastic and a councilcorn mission meeting was set up last thursday for discussion with council insistent that it must be represented and the commissioners just as determ ined that they would be a com i pletely separate body the meet ing ended with resignations be fng submitted by the six at mondays council meeting a motion was tabled by reeve hunter and dputy reeve young that the industrial commission be composed of alex blackwell william mcnall connell smith boy wilson sam penrice am linton and cr era hyde his notion called for minutes of commission meetings to be sub- slitted to council with the pro- tbo that if an industry wished t name kept secret the name would be omitted from the min deputy reeve young explain i ed that after last thursdays 8aueo he had approached the commissioners again they were a good commiss ion lfif 1 want to see them con tinue he said they have ag reed to serve with one council lor included and cr hyde as industrial chairman is the logi cal choice his idea found little support 1 can t see any reason for re moving one councillor aaid cr harrison its council which gets the blame if anything goes wrong an industrial transaction and we have to know whats going cr hyde said the matter should not have been introduc ed again in open council but now that it has somewhat of a shock to see reeve hunters name on the motion he said he was one of the greatest critics of last years commission cr smith said he has never favoured councillor as eomtms sioners and if council is satisfi ed with the job done last year he can see no reason for adding a councillor this year however i won t be pushed around he continued and the commission is not capable of discussing this without los ing their tempers and resigning they aren t the men we want mayor gibbons said the com mission was wrong in refusing to act if councillors were app ointed don t they trust the men who appoint them be asked cr ballentine said he has been a consistent opponent of having councillors on the com mission and he had opposed a motion this year which would have bad three councillors members who had opposed list years delrex land agreement the only rason i let n name stand was to help the commission to get to work if they don t want ffle til be the first person to get off reeve hunter aaid it is a que stion of whether the town has a commission or not it was nothing against cr ballentine personally be saw they just think one member is sufficient for liason it s quite- in order and desir able to have two councillors said th mayor tbe commiss ion is saying play it our way or well take our dolls and home deputy reeve young said move is on foot to name a man commission composed the mayor and two others this brought from cr hyde a hot denial that was suggested at a com mittee meeting by an outsid er be said i would be the first to oppose it the deputy reeve is insinuating that i have heard this before he was the meeting and knows as much about it as i do the young hunter motion found no support and was voted down 7 2 faced with

financial sta tement which shows expenses of 5 640 and anticipated rev enue of 4135 cr bill smith who is rccrea uon chairman said he is aware of the good work of the group and the good advertising town receives but to be honest i don t have this amount of money in my budget and a grantwouid have to come from somewhere else he pointed out asked if esquesing township had been approached mr nor ton said he had been turned down last year when that coun ctl said their budget had been struck but he intends to proach the township again this year the request was referred lor committee discussion consult engineers as first step to mountainview bridge start of an eventual new bridge over the cnr tracks on mountainview road was fore cast monday when council voted to contact a number of consult ing firms regarding their fees and services in connection with the bridge reeve hunter told council that the limited budget does not allow any major construction but that the town should make a start
