are not consulted by the owners on any decision Reg Service president of the association and chairman of Sundays meeting said he met with Rice and representative from The Royal Bank to discuss possibility of lowering the maintenance charge But nothe ing came of the meeting he said Also on the home owners board are tan Mackinnon co chairman and Ruth Service secretary At the meeting Sunday at The Spoke Service said the board suggested the association not appeal the maintenance cost until next year because by that time the landlord and tenant act will have been enforced and modular homes

budsman It will also hire secretary to keep the press informed Service objected to the press being at the meeting but those attending voted press coverage Why not let the public know what management is doing to us said one association member Another home owner said this issue is not only private one affecting residents of Sandy Cove Acres but public one He said it was an example of how management can take ad vantage of senior citizens everywhere Sonny Wyles an association member said management is not afraid residents will move out because then management can charge higher rental fees for new
