Photograph of 30 volunteer men, and memebers of the municipal volunteer Fire Department joined the municipal fire fighting force. When fire razed the first apartment building which was in the course of internal construction damage to the building has been estimated at about $175 000 and a slightly higher figure for loss of building materials stored in the structure. Insurance adjusters are working on the loss estimates during the week. Immediate reconstruction of the 17- apartment block will commence once structural engineers approve the foundation to which little damage was done, it is thought. If is expected that prospective tenants will be delayed. Only neighbouring tent frames were damaged in the fire. These were also being used to house materials for the finishing or remaining seven apartment buildings.

Photo showing Alderman John Flynn who was very to the point with his reactio. "I think it's very obnoxious", he said, adding he felt it ridiculous that anybody can have access to another's business accounts. Flynn felt a disclosures act of one kind or another was needed in provincial or federal politics. He said he didn't feel it was neccessary for small municipalities however.

Up for re-election in the fall, he said, "I wanted to run again but may change my mind...not due to the fact of my personal assets - anybody can look at those - but, if anybody can see the financial statements of my business then I don't think this is right.

Photo showing Alderman Ray Brady who commented, "I'm all in favour of [Bill 85]." He felt a few changes would have to be made but added it looked likely these would be made. Brady said it did not bother him that his or another officials disclosures would be accessible to the public, explaining the only reason such as act is before the legislature is because of the number of conflicts of interests which haven't been brought to the public's attention.
