Aldermen Laking and Thompson voted against the resolution.
Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution Alderman Thompson

stated that in view of the recent add*-ional Budget «

welfare overrun,etc. the City was not in a position to expend additional

funds on a programme of this nature. Alderman Laking agreed that the
objectives of the programme were excellent, and had the presentation

been made earlier in the year he would have supported the proposal but
was unable to do so at this time due to Council's present inability to
provide funds for other necessaty services such as the additional R.C.M.P.
Constable and additional firemen for the City.

‘unsatisfactory access to Hastings Junior Secondary School had been
deferred at the last meeting of Council and was available for further
discussion at this time. Alderman Ranger enquired as to the outcome of
the June 22nd meeting of the School Board and the June 25th meeting with
M.L.A. George Kerster as this had been the reason for the deferral, of
the subject to this time, however, no official reports of the meetings
were available. Alderman Keryluk indicated that he had attended the
