At present, 100 acres is being leased by a corn farmer for $2,000 a year, with several other acres being taken up by various citizens for gardening and other purposes. It’s also costing money, because so far the town has been unable to use the land for its own purposes, but is paying out some $78,000 annually to pay for it. When the town bought it, however, it planned to move its works depart- ment yard there from Pugsley Ave. In the meantime, council still debates the matter of the land. The purchase by the 1974 council, Mayor David Schiller terms “bad judgment on the town’s part".
