The constant threat of a nu. clear attack on Canada prompt- ed Finance Committee Chair- man, Edward Wetheral, to ask these questions and introduce a' resolution requesting that coun- cil appoint a joint commitiee with the Emergency Measures Organization to study the possi- bility of building a blast-proof shelter. The resolution was defeated "The idea seems feasible fo me," said Councillor Wetherall, "and was not taken out of the air but out of a genuine concern for the people of this munici- pality." WOULD HOLD 10,000 Councillor Wetherall's sugges- tion for the bomb shelter point- ed out that such a building would accommodate 10,000 people "Considering that each per- son wou'd require ten square of space," he continued, "the shelter would be 100,000 square feet." The cost, he said, would not be more than one million dol lars "although $700,000 would be a more realistic figure." 1 PER WEEK The people of Ajax would have to pav about $50 to $60 a week or about one dollar a week if the $700,000 were to be borrowed over a 20-year period, he said "The impossible," liam Parish p roject financially said Mayor Wil- "especially when 18 the senior governments have not | drawn up a policy about bomb shelter grants to municipali- ties "I think that if the people really want a bomb shelter of their own and such a project is planned, then it could be pre- sented to the senior ments for financial assistance," said Mr. Wetherall.

ASKED TO WAIT Reeve Robert McKenzie, the EMO co-ordinator for Ajax, sug- gested that council wait until the Reeves' and Mayors' Con- vention had studied the issue on bomb shelfers. This convention embracing all counties in Ontario will take place next month. "The bomb shelter project must be studied by the individ- ual municipalities," said Coun- cillor Wetherall. "You can't expect the north- ern counties to vote for com- munity bomb shelters when they are in the bush and away from heavy industry targets. "Community bomb shelters constitute a logical step which the government is slow in fak-| ing," said Councillor William Robertson.
