Dear Editor:
It seems to me that the real questions of this upcoming referendum is “Are the residents of Rimbey best served by moving the town office to the far west end of town? Is the library best served taking over the present town office building? At the budget presentation meeting in early April, the mayor was asked about the library moving into the unfinished building kitty corner to the town office. The mayor’s response was that this wouldn’t work because a special concrete had to be used to carry the weight of the books. This was a curious answer because most of the concrete has not yet been poured in that building. In addition, contractors tell me that renovations are much more costly than new construction. Would the library find it cheaper to set up a new building than to renovate the town office to meet their needs?
