on em exammrvse Marks BY CITY AND COUNTY News TUESDAY APRIL 28 IN RESIDENTIAL AREA Bell Hints Would Leave It Denied Station Site veiled threat to move Bell Telephone out at Barrie was tossed at City Council last night and rather than handle the hot potato council gave it to the industrial Commission Planning Board suggestion that the property on Hayfield and Sophia sought by the Bell for new exchange station be kept residential area brought the Bell deputation before council Over considerable period representativrs of the Bell have been looking for suitable loca tion within the presently pre scribed commerciu limits but nothing has been found which complies with the needs of the company said hlachl lum spokesman for the Bell The Bell originally asked that this area be rezoned to allow for construction DECENTRALIZE This refusal to let the comp any go ahead complicates on crations very severely said Mr MacCaiium and if they Bell were turned down the emphasis would have to turn from centralization to decentral izntion and that would mean moving to other areas maybe Oriliia or such Alderman Cooke voiced approval of the Planning Board suggestion if we give way here he said the official plan was going to be torn to millions ofpieces PLANNING ISSUE He said the issue was one of planning Barrie has problems too just as the Bell has said Alderman Cooke and these problems are those of planning Might Vote On School Addition Barrio City Councilsrequest to the Public School Board that it hold off building an addition to Prince of Wales School until 1961 could end in plebiscite vote on the matter City councils finance commit tee which was asked to issue debentures on behalf of the board to enable the multipur pose room to be built this fall will file request to the board to wait another year before building Board business administrator George Longstafie said today he could not give any official board statement as ity council had not yet notifie him of its re quest and no meeting was sched uled yet to deal with the matter but he did explain possible pro cedure The request says city finance committee chairman Arthur Morrow to issue debentures for this addition was considered too much for the city to handle this year He added however that if the school board persisted in its request council would likely let it go through COULD HAVE VOTE Mr Longstaffe said if the city did not want to issue debentures for the $40000 gymnasiumand allpurpose room the matter could result in plebiscite The decision of the citys property owners would then go before the Ontario Municipal Board which would almost certainly comply with the plebiscite result he said He went on to say reason for proposing Prince of Wales addi tion was that this school was the only one in Barrie so far an able to take full part in the citys grade school physical edu WEATHER Synopsis Heavy snow was re ported in southern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario overnight and this

LACK FACILITIES Pow was not getting full benefit from the program be cause at iLs lack of facilities That was he added why the gym had been slated for fall completion Alderman Morrow said that if tho council did agree to issue debentures for the addition it would not affect the mill rate claimed that the Bell was wish because of technical needs but ed up Mr Morrow 60 Mr ltfacCallum agreed that economy runs many items and that Bell would rather negotiate with one large property owner than with live or six small ones since the latter situation usually brings in grossly inflated prices BIG MISTAKE Alderman Morrow took the opposite stand saying Barrie is making tremendous mis take by turning them down Alderman Murray Mills back If we lose it Bell were throwing away good assessment money POSSIBILITY Mr MacCailum stated that he didnt wish Council to take his suggestion that Bell might move out as threat just possibility When the issue was taken to recorded vote the suggestion of the
