r <br /> i <br /> •- supports the Town' s ,intentions to do something which makes a <br /> difference when it comes to Federral -grants , and to go forth for <br /> one type of a building which won' t come. in one or two years but <br /> may be in three or four years as far as a community oriented <br /> building. I just can' t see in my own mind the Lions Club which <br /> is a super organization, risk funds and see what happen last April <br /> happen all over again. ' I just don' t want to see them tape that <br /> risk. <br /> Ars.. verett asked if money was put .into this and it was restored <br /> by whatever organization, would this still belong to the 'down. <br /> Chairman responded yes . <br /> Mrs , Averett asked if they would only lease, not sell. <br /> Chairman responded that- correct. <br /> Mrs .. verett asked hoar do you rebuild history when you talk about <br /> tearing it clown and rebuilding. <br /> Chairman responded that you don' t rebuild his troy. <br /> Mrs. Averett stated that there is a great deal of history there. <br /> Chairman stated that there is- a great deal of history in all <br /> buildings. - You have to balance that over with what you' ve got and <br /> what the cost is.

There are <br /> others who may want to use it but as yet have not demonstrated their <br /> interest. when Chuckle Green carne forth and took this thine over, <br /> I thought there was a great deal of promise .

I think that if <br /> anyone , group, etc, , are willing to demonstrate the leadership it <br /> may possibly work out that something can be done to r-estorp, that:�,- <br /> building. I don' t know. There is not much that we can do as a <br /> Board representing this Town financially. We can give you our <br /> moral support and may be time ire manual-assistance and may be <br /> raise a few dollars from independent people, but the bulk of the <br /> _ _ <br />
