No decision on municipality taking over museum

Sables-Spanish Rivers council is holding off on deciding whether to take over the Massey Area Museum.  Council held a special meeting Monday night with the museum board and the public to see what a municipally-run museum involves.  The board wants Town Hall to take over the facility because it`s run into fundraising problems.

But taking over the museum means raising taxes an extra 1.6 percent, something ratepayers at Monday`s meeting vehemently opposed.  Suggestions on saving the museum included merging it with the library or hiring someone to secure operating grants for the facility.  Council hasn`t said yet when it will decide to vote on the issue.
