pacl6 thetr13cne thursday april 27 1972 townships take financial dip in town pool uxbridge council members from scott township and the town of uxbridge and representatives from the community pool committee met with uxbridge township council april 24 to discuss what financial commitments the townships might be prepared to make towards the new centennial project neither township was prepared to jump in enthusiastically with a firm offer despite the en ticements of the facility presented by mayor ray newton town of uxbridge and dr lennox pool committee chairman both teetered on the brink for three hours before dipping their toes into the financial end the main question of concern was would the people in scott and uxbridge townships use the pool enough to justify a large financial commitment and what would be the resultant cost to them as taxpayers the uxbridge township councillors were generally en thusiastic about the venture but wondered concerning the feelings of the ratepayers clark muirhead said that he would be surprised if 10 percent of the people from the township would use it dr lennox com mented that he thought people were getting an erroneous idea of what the pool would cost through taxes do you think that if you told your taxpayers that its only going to cost them a couple of dollars on their taxes theyd mind the attitude of councillors reflects on people in the townships he added later if you think its a good idea act that way and let people know you think its a good idea councillors from scott township showed less en thusiasm for the project and were particularly critical of not being consulted during the initial planning stagedep- reeve lyons doubted that the town of ux bridge could afford a pool of such magnitude a short clash between mayor newton and mr lyons provided a brief preview of what one councillor termed regional govern ment at work in response to doubts that people in the townships would use the facility councillor
