responsible city fathers can go with such apathy about city business few weeks ago one of our esteemed aldermen represent ing the Rose Ottaway area stated that the town could not finance education as proposed by the budget of the Barrie Public School anrdand the Harris Dis ict Collegiate Board The proposed savings totalled $300000 The biggest item was the elimination of public school for the Cundles area approx $210000 How ever this is past history let us look at the situation of just yesterday Ari interested group of citi zens young energetic mayor and progressive council found $275000 for the purchase of Barrie Country Club golf courser Now have no quarrel with the council over such an admirable action and commend them on how they dug down deeply pockets to find this small mount ofchan is true if we consider the two actions they did save $2500 lsincer ely believe both building for education and park are neces ary but if we have to choose which one would you take Perhaps as member of the Rose Ottaway Ratepayers Association may bevable to help some of the citizens of Barrie understand our city fathers past and present better few years ago an industry Chrysler tb rd Motors

did we met with lhemay or and council The mayor made sincere but unsuccess ill effort to have an access road built We understood that no other industry would go in to this area without first dcv
