The recommendations of the architects dealt with three con- lidered pasibillties: (1) The use of the existing walls of the burned out town hall; (I) The renovat- mg for temporary use of the old post office; (3) The rebuilding of the old post office building for permanent use.

Mayor Wedge noted that the committees would have to make a decision perhaps before the next meeting of the council in about two weeks time. on provid- ing some of the construction that is under consideration by the town council on the matter of a town hall. additional class-rooms for the High School and an audi- torium.

He said that construction on any of these projects should begin at least in May. Mayor Wedge said that some records had been lost in the fire. and expressed ap- preciation to the citizens for their cooperation and assistance in helping the town offices and de- partments in this emergency, and he noted with appreciation the telegrams and letters that had been received erpressing regret

the Legislative Assembly to amend the Summer-

bentures for an amount not ex- ceeding 3350.000. to pay capital ex- penditures for general yermenent

for possible anticipated capital expenditures.

The meeting. on the Mayor's recommendation, approved the re- appointment of the same coun- cil committees as were appointed last year.

A letter to the Mayor and Council from two Summerslde Ladies lodged a complaint regard- ing the soot and smoke from the chimney of the perfection dairlus The council decided that the pol- ice committee should look into the matter and have a report for the next meeting of the council.

Councillors Steele and Lldstone reported that they had met with the building committee of the school board. and tabled an esti- mate they had been given on classrooms needed for next year, and said that the school board committee had requested work be started as soon as possible. The report listed the present and e t ” enrolment from grades 1 to 12 and indicated that from 5 to 10 additional classrooms would be needed. It was decided that this matter would be con- sidered and dealt with at the next regular meeting of the council. In discussing the demolition of

TEXT OF LETTER

Following was the text of the letter from the architects:

In reply to the request of the towu council to determine the feaslbili, and-costs of using the burned out town hall or renova- tions to the old post office as a town hall either temporarily or as a permanent building, we wish to present our findings and re- commendations under the. follow- ing headings:

(Al The use of existing wells of the burned out town hall.

(8) The renovation for tem- porary use of .the post office. (C) The rebuilding of the post office for permanent use. . Recommendations :

(Al The use of existing walls of the burned out town hall. On ex- amination af the walls of this building. we find there are old cracks in the wall caused by settlement of the building. the re- cent fire has caused cracking of window lintels and spandrels over these iintels. and has to a con- siderable extent caused the break- ing of the bonding of the inner layers of the brick. This is rapid- ly increasing due to repeated freezing in the mortar joints be- tween these layers and the full extent oi this could not be de- termined without a great deal of work of removing those inside layers.

We find that a dangerous con- dition exista in that there is a quantity of loose and displaced brick and stone on the top of the walls which should be removed immediately as it is liable to lie knocked off by the action of wind. rain or frost. The doors and win- dows leading to this structure should be securely boarded up to prevent the entrance of children and the area fenced off from the public. on a new masonry structure

' the cost of excavation fuondation

and exterior wall amounts to ap- proximately 13 per cent of the total cost of the building. On these existing wall and founda- tions, the repair work would easily amount to 40 per cent of their value thus leaving a sav- ing of approximately-10 per cent by building within the old walls. This. however. must be looked at in the light of the following:

1) Although the building was adequate for the town when first planned it is now inadequate for the services which a modern town hall renders to the citizens. (I) By confining the architect to the limits of these walls. he would be forced to do many things which would he loal and result in a much less eervicable division of space.

(3) The resulting structure would consist of a new interior with a life expectancy of approxi- mately so years housed on a foundation and within walls which are now. 40 years old and have been through a fire and exposure to the extremes of winter wea- ther. These will requira continual .m.mm.......mm:.g

(4) The area in which the pres- ent wallsarelocatedisnotnow the most suitable for a town hall.

(5) The general repair and cut- ting and filling which would he required to the walls would give the reconstructed building a very patchy appearance which would be detremental to the general neat and prosperous appearance of use town.

In view of the small immediate monetary saving. the negllgable saving over a period of years. and the above enumerated dis- advantages we wish to" recom- mend that the existing wails of the burned out structure be de- molished and that temporary ac- commodation be provided ad- jacent to the fire hall for the firemen and their equipment.

(B) The renovation for tam- porary use of the old post office building.

To provide temporary accom- modatlon in this building the fol- lowing would be required:

1. The brick and stone work of the roof coping and the front gable and would have to be re- moved and rebuilt as these are now in a dangerous condition.

2. The exterior roof would re- quire rafinlshlng. this would prob- ably be accomplished most eco- nomically by removing the I101)- ing roofs and installing a new flat roof. over the entire area.

I. The existing brick and ma-

gouty work require xtensive re- painting. 4. The existing electrical wir- ing is inadequate and in an un- servicable condition. A complete new wiring system would be re- uired

5. Plumbin . A complete new

system of fixtures, water supply and sewage disposal would be re- quired. 6. Heating: The existing radia- tors are inadequate and in an unservicable condition. A com- plete new system of radiators. supply and return pipes. and a new boiler would be required.

7. The flooring of the first floor would have to he removed and completely replaced and finished. The flooring of the second floor would have to be scraped and refinished.

ii. The existing wall finishes would require to be scraped. re-, ceive a new lime putty coat and be refinished.

3. Existing windows all require refitting. renewal of trims and

10. The ground floor would re- quire all new partitions to divide it into the different working areas required.

11. All existing woodwork. stairs. etc.. would require gen- eral repair. cleaning and refinish- ing.

The hockey match between Sum-Hi and Queen Charlotte High was a very close one all the way. The teams split a pair of goals in the first each of the first two per- iod. and Summerside got the odd goal in the third on a fluke play. the puck going in off Bill Henry's 'stick. Greg Deighan got credit for the tally. First period goals were scored by Archie MacFadyen and Bobby Phillips. Brodie Lantz and Greg Delghan getting assists. Lantz and Billy Noonan scored the second period goals. Donnie Mur- ray and Greg Deighan getting the helpers. Four minor penalties were handed out by referees Pet- er Pope and Vance Harris. three going to Robert Kenny of Sum- merside, and the other to Bobby Phillips of the same team. Bill Henry got a misconduct for throwing his stick after the win- iiing goal caromed into the net off i

cost between :35.000 and 540.000.

(C) The rebuilding of the old post office building for pennan- ent use.

As the interior supports of this building have sunk on their foun- dations and caused sagging of all floors. and the existing first floor has an 13-foot ceiling height which is uneconomical as to re- construction and future heating. and the existing roof must be re- moved and reconstructed; it would be necessary to completely demolish the interior of the build- and construct a new supporting framework within the existing founda' and walls. As pointed out previous in the case of the re-use of the existing walls of the burned out town hall. the immediate monetary saving would be small, the yearly main- tenance costs of the exterior
