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.
