Article 11 with Ivir Buckingham continues. If it is 'your intention to stop growth to the needs of this Town, . to pro- tect quite a large zone of 14a.shpee; where water quality is concerned. I am not talking that area alone as a prime source. I am talking about any pol - lution entering into that area. It may in many minds be too much money to expend. It is just that time of year that you put your money where your mouth is. It''is a case of meeting what the family wants for it or we will take our chance.

' is Motion seconded Mrs Thomas: I want you to be very careful when you vote on this. This seems to be the easy way out. This is your water resource. Shortly and abutting this area are 550 2-bedroom units. , 250-2 family houses. That is going to be an ,. awful drain on your water supply. In the future,a this purchase is going to give you some kind of relief. This will give you a place to take a country walk, ; r or a picnic. And you ought to be thinking about these things. Lets think ahead and do some planning. i Mrs Coombs: Is it true you can not build on an Ancient Way ? Mrs Thomas: That is not necessarily true, Selena. Moderator Lets keep it moving, i�lr Ferguson. r
