Archie Brintnell asked what profit the present arena making. A, O. Elliot, chairman of Community Parks Board, the rink would lose $300 was the said ,__ this year. He said council should be encouraged in their efforts to give the town something. “I think artificial ice is within our reach,” he said, “and I think the figures show it will be self- supporting.” •Donald Traquair, secretary of the Board, said the operating deficit for 1951 was $1,000. “The only reason the arena has not had to come to the town is because we have .been able to use surplusses of other years and because of the revenue re­ ceived from Comstock rental.” Bill Sweitzer asked council: “Wouldn’t you be prepared to bring it to a vote of the people? Would it be right foi’ a council who weren’t even voted in iby the people to place a $65,000 debenture on the think given this.” Board Mayor Cochrane replied that it was not council’s fault they were not elected by a vote. He said the by-law would go to the municipal board and, if enough objection was received, it would call a meeting of the people and perhaps engineer a vote. “You in Exeter must do some­ thing about your arena,” said N. O. Hipel, who, with his father, built the original. “If you don’t put in artificial ice you’ll have your Lucan other ice for winter recreation as they did parks for summer recreation. Plans for the arena included removing all the seating and side walls and widening them six feet to include a sidewalk ramp around the arena. The re­ frigeration would be placed at the north end with a seats above clay from with Of in Ontario, not been arena has lost money two years. Fanner Support Pete Willard s^id Exeter taking all the credit foi’ putting up artificial ice and that the farmers should be considered. Clerk Pickard replied every­ one realized that if it weren’t for the farmers there would be no Exeter. Preston Dearing said the On­ tario Arena, operated by the London Fair Board on which he is a director, made $9,000 last year. He stressed the value of recreation and said if one child was saved from going wrong, the $5 a year would be well spent. Former mayor B. W. Tuckey commended council for their ef­ fort to' bring in artificial ice. Commenting on other projects that were there was iron in the fire when something was being discussed. For the past three or four years, he said, the ° matter of artificial ice has been put off. Artificial ice was worth more than $5 to every householder in the town of Exeter .because it would increase the value of real gstate. He said it wasn’t the streets or the make things, ic© is “You all have something around you that is not necessary, If you have nice grass or a lawn—that is not necessary.” But it was these things that were valuable. “You will make up .that $5 a year when you go to sell your property/’ he said. “I doiVt think we should go overboard atid I don’t think council are going overboard in this endea­ vor.”Owen Atkinson wondered if the children would be assured of skating time. Clerk 0. V. Pickard said the dependability of artificial ice ’would give children ample time to skate.Nelsott iS tanlake and Joseph Creech moved that a vote be taken, people?
