The`'Villa e.Council and. mem-

evening:to discuss .procedure :i>t
applying for grants under '•the

Reeve George Joynt pointed •
out that action. was es ential as
a
time • was, betting, short.,
The contract' of the Canadian
I:e
Machine., Company 'was •'re-
viewed. This is for approximately
$21,000; with a 'cooling. . system ,
saving possible, because:of the
;proximity of the' unused munici-
pal • well. .Therewill be • other
costs, such as engine room, . etc,,.
which will' 'ruri;'%tfie• prospective
cost t5 $22,000,, and in generalizing
as to costs a figure of • `$241000. is
being • used subject' •to. grants,
Which. will reduce the cost to the
$18,004 figure: the 'Club is aiming
at.. This does ,riot include :a cement
floor which'S'would not be laid
till 1063 ;at, the earliest.
It,• was decided to get 'detailed •
information .from - the Canadian
Ice Company as to the' l,abgr and
material, 'and ' likewise 'to get con
tract prices from local contractors
who will'do a portion of the work.

With this snecific information
