liiuir school issue its time ior town cauncd to be firm tell those watiting wonders on the school board to either sell the thing at reasonable price by the end oi Juner price which will allow renovation money to be poured In or keep it as an historic monument themselves lwlce the town has been throuin negotiations With the board First it had its $10 nominal oiicr accepted and then the board rcnegcd Now its $5000 otter has bcen turned down and the trustees have asked tor higher titier They hint darkly they are now looking ior about $110000 in line with board policy on disposal oi obsolete building which was pushed through aiter the iirslhttilr otter had been ac cepted Meanwhile according to the towns chief negotiator Councillor David Kerwtn the historic school building was allowed to deteriorate badly in recent months The turnace has burned out writer pipes are split the brick walls cracked ceilings are tailing floors have heaved Windows have been smashed out and pigeons have taken over the attic At 3110000 that property Is too expensive tor the towns plans tor museum and cultural centre we think The old building designated an historic site by the town in 1970 was to have been restored as the centrepiece ot theatre and museum complex An auditorium was to be added toits north side or theatre productions concerts ctcrihe plan hinges on the school board seeing the value iii keeping the property in public use and available in HS students PETER GRIFFIN int in unwind Phone Aurora 4074 Council to put on Muir deal But add $110000 to the renovation repair and building costs already projected and you have put the whole project out at reach of town at 25000 Theretorc town council should tell the board and the Ontario education ministry it doesnt plan to make third otter It should go back to its original 10 otter call in ministry arbitrator tremembcr the mimstry has already agreed to the $10 sale and announce it it cant get the school by the end oiJune it doesnt want it Council which has promised its next major project will be the museum and cultural corn pitx should then set upo committee to Drug in report on alternative sites The continual dithering by the school board thti the tuture oi the tustoric Muir site raises pretty important question how citcclively can the interests oi the people at Newmarkct be represented on regional board The town only has one seat on the liirmembcr board We know trustee Craig Cribar has cam paigned hard tor the sale at the sdiooi at reasonable price and that he has the Support at the towns elected council and many at its community organizations but he has izilicd to swmg the votes oi trustees elected in other communities As the political power of the burgeoning southern block Within the region continues to grow in proportion to its mcmbers growing populations the citcctive the represch tatives oi the smaller siowcrrgrowing northern communities will decline even more VACanwenlongncontinue to have iaith

put Knight out at buliillcsii by not ralowing ltd licence The Ontario government agency cites as its reason that title not in the public interest for one man to be directing the public police iorcc and to have Iintinciai stake in private one The move seems uniair coming as it does tlst as the early Jockcying tor next Novembers inunicipai election campaign is getting un derway anti since there
