MORE GRANT TO COME

The $2,000 is just part of a provincial government grant and is “an advance as an act of good faith,” says Mrs. Douglas-Dungcey. It has bee paid to assure that inmates of provincial as well as federal jails would be ad- mitted to the home.

St. Leonard’s has been carefully preparing answers to about 20 questions raised

by the district when the.

matter of rezoning from residential to a group home was first considered back in April and has’ gathered additional information.

It was expected that all this information would be typed up early this week and presented to district council Wednesday or Thursday. —
