Vol .8, No.3] COUNCIL QUOTES Terrace Bay Town.Council last Tuesday passed a By-Law for their proposed Centennial project of an Adult Study Lounge and Crafts Display area within the Recreation Centre. The cost of this project, estimated at $3,600. will be borne, a third by the Federal Government, a third by the Provincial Gov- ernment and the remaining third by the municipality. This By-Law will now be submitted for the approval of the Ontario Centennial Committee. Replying to Reeve Adamo, Councillor Thompson outlined the presentation he and Mr.Bill Farrell had made to the Recreation Committee. The presenta- tion, based on a study they had made of the recrea- tion facilities, proposed to have a dual use of as much of the facilities as possible. Changes were scheduled to the Snack Bar, Lounge, Library, bowl- ing and old curling lounge, which they hoped. to have completed by early October. With the assist- ance of the Recreation Director they planned to § utilize the old curling lounge into a room for the young people. The regulations for this area would have to be clearly defined and would require the help of adults to supervise. Reeve Adamo questioned the wisdom of removing the tables from the lounge area during the tourist season but Councillor Thompson heatedly replied this had been clearly defined in the policy set out, with no meals to be served. Reeve Adamo had the figures read covering the period before and after the tables were removed. This brought the reply that the additional labor cost was greater than the profit and that the Recreation Centre had been built for the townspeople. Councillor Thompson agreed to take the matter up with the Recreation Director when they would reconsider the situation. Referrring to the minutes of the previous meeting, Councillor Cavanaugh enquired what action had been taken on the motion to hire sixteen and seven- teen year old boys to brush out certain areas. He urged expediting this work as the holiday season was half over and Council agreed to have the town areas mapped out. A letter was sent to the Dept .of Highways regard- ing the findings of the coroner's jury in the case of a traffic fatality. This advice was passed on to the Regional Planning Engineer. Council agreed to do- nate their usual prize of a load of topsoil to the Hor- ticultural Society's Annual Show. A letter was sent } to Mr.N .Linkewich requesting removal of scrap lum- ber and oil drums from the rear of the theatre. A letter of greetings from Reeve Adamo will be delivered:by Mr .F .Cruickshank Sr., to the Mayor of Dundee, Scotland.
