The rinamnal burden alone for tton-profit organization such as theirs, would be enormous and could lead to their ruin. If the city of Waterloo would examine these problems they would surely come to the conclusion that it is in the best interest of all concerned (the taxpayer, as well) to leave the potters where they are, possibly redo the exterior of the Eby house (to fit the theme of the park) and to construct a new yearround concession elsewhere in the park. Yet another tea-room would be redundant and in direct competition to Seagram's and the one proposed for the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, both within walking distance of the park. There are other community groups crying out for Gancial support and $500,000 could be better spent elsewhere.
