During a heated hour-long dis- cussion Councillor George Bev- an threatened to walk out after with Councillor Tommy Edwards. Before the meeting was a fe- commendation from the coun- cll's Centennial Projects Com- mittee that 'the town's centen- nial project be the provision of a recreational and cultural céntre for the community and that council enter negotiations with the Ontario County Council for the acquisition of the Old Ontario County Building for this e" The committee also appealed that town council prepare the _-- Centennial Grant by- aw. DEADLINE WARNING Opening the discussion, and ing that the committee motion be accepted, Councillor Tommy Edwards warned: "It should be remembered that Nov. 9 is the Geadline for cen- tennial grants.

"If everyone is allowed to speak "As chairman of this commit- tee it is my duty to support the recommendation in the best in- terests of the people of Whitby." WARY OF COST Councillors were wary, how- ever. "We must know what this is going to cost the town," de- manded Councillor George Bevan. Joining the opposition Council- lor Harry Inkpen commented: "We will want to know what money we are spending on the roject. We must know this be- 'ore we can vote." Mayor Warren Mowat joined the ranks of the uncertain, say- ing he believed the committee could have gone into the matter a little further. "A full detailed plan-of prob- able expenditure should be pre- sented to council before we \vote," he protested Deputy Reeve George Brooks, | obviously annoyed by the re | marks, fired back: "If this is not what they (the council) | want, then I wish they would | make up their minds. Sure it is | going to cost us a lot of money; |but I want somewhere where ithe kids of this town can go for recreation. "Tf it is going to cost us a few PROJECT DEFENDED Councillor Robert Attersley jumped to the defence of the project. "We will not get this recreation centre for the town for nothing. But this is some- thing for the town to be proud tails can be worked out." Councillor Tommy Edwards re-entered the discussion and ac- cused Mayor Mowat of a "com- plete change of mind". "You were at the projects committee meeting," he said, "You had no objection to this recommendation then. "Why has he changed his mind now," he appealed to council, Mayor Mowat firmly denied the about face. With tempers beginning to flare on both sides Councillor Bevan repeated that the coun- cil should know more about what it was being asked to 4 spend, "I support the mayor on this," he sald. "A full plan should be presented to council." "Look", said Deputy Reeve Brooks, "other municipalities are going out and spending hun- dreds of thousands of dollars in supplying recreation and cul- jtural centres. | "We are being handed one on a silver platter," | FIVE POINT AMENDMENT Councillor Bevan countered by {putting a five-point amendment. | Firstly that the council estab- \ disp what the restoration and ect Idea Again maintenance of the building {s going to cost.

Also whether the council re- quired the approval of the Muni- cipal Board before a go-ahead could be given and finally would the town qualify for a centennial grant if it only rented the build- ing as was proposed.
