He is secretary-treasurer ■of the club. 'Councillor Musser said the booster organization had used up a $1,000 loan and was overdrawn at the bank. It was costing about $100 a week to operate the Mo­ hawks in the playoffs and gate receipts weren’t that high. He said the club planned to ■contact service organizations for donations and he was appointed to ask council for a contribution. He pointed out that without a boostei’ club it would be difficult to sponsor a hockey team which was needed to make the arena pay. Councillor Taylor asked if council could grant the club $2i00. Clerk Pickard sa-jd a grant could be made 'to the Recreational ■Council or the Arena Board. When Councillor Bailey object­ ed to giving t'he grant, Councillor Taylor retorted: "Why don’t you buy the town and 'be done with it?” iBailey asked the clerk what taxes were being spent at the arena now and the clerk replied the debenture costs $6,000 a year and nated $1,000 to the last year. More Than Hockey (Councillor Dinney, a member of the centres hoax’d, said the arena was being used for more than hockey. Adults and Children’ enjoyed skating there and girls were taught figure skating. ■Councillor Taylor asked how much the .hockey team made the arena last year. Musser said about $2,000. Taylor 'told Bailey -if t'he arena didn’t have the $2,000 it might as well close the doors. “We might be further ahead if it did,” replied Bajjey. “Wouldirtit be a lot better to give the hockey clu'b $'500 or $600 to keep it operating instead of losing that $2,0'00 revenue?” asked Taylor. Bailey: “What happens when ■the arena board asks fox’ its grant We don’t know how much that is yet.” 1 Taylor: “Are you going to throw away your $6,000 annual investment for a measly $500?” Taxpayers Shouldn’t Pay 4 Shiley: “I don’t think you should expect taxpayers to pay if • Dinney: “I don’t know whether we should expect the taxpayers to support the hockey team but I think they should contribute to­ wards the arena.” •Bailey: “That arena was sold to the public on the principle that it would make money. They painted a pretty rosy picture and said it wouldn’t cost us anything to operate it.” Clerk Pickard said the picture has changed since then and sug­ gested the erection of other arenas in the district has made it hard for all to meet expenses. “I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said. “We have too many arenas.” Reeve McKenzie dismissed the subject by asking councillors to think it over for next meeting. /"■.... -.................... were about council do- arena board To Investigate Band A committee was appointed to investigate possibilities of lorm- "ing a boys and girls band in town. fCecil Wilson, music instructor at ■iSHDHS, is chairman of the com­ mittee and members include ‘Don Easton and Norm Walper, from the old band; Harold Preszcator, from the recreational council; and Mayor Pooley. The investigation arises from a proposal by E. A, Robinson, London bandmaster, who agreed ■to supply instruments and in­ struction fpr certain fees. Council decided the committee should see what other instructors or ar- rangemenis might be available. Reeve McKenzie said the band was “sorely needed in Exeter but we don’t want to spent a lot of money and then have it fold.’’ It was suggested a service club might be interested in sponsor­ ing the band, Seeks Maximum Grants "Council requested maximum assistance from the Ontario gov­ ernment for road expenditures in 195'6. The highways department noti­ fied council it would pay grants on amounts up to $10,000 for maintenance and $4,000 for con­ struction and council decided to set its budgets accordingly. ■Councillor Dinney reported he had given Police Chief Reg Taylor permission to hire an OPP fingerprint expert for the safe­ cracking investigation at F. A. May and Son. He also reported that part- time constable Lionel Kendrick had resigned. 'Comparison of costs for re­ pairing the police cruiser or trading it in for a new car was authorized following a lengthy discussion. Councillor Dinney reported the car was reaching the point where it would require costly repairs. It has gone 30,OOH1 miles. .Police committee was instruc­ ted to get tenders from town dealers on new cars and estimates pn cost of repairs. An expression of appreciation was tendered to J. A, Coombs, of Stratford, w'ho is retiring as dis­ trict engineer of the Ontario Pe- partment of Highways. Councillor Alvin Pym reported •the industrial committee viewed sites for erection of commercial plants recently and found several which would be suitable. He was authorized to .talk to owners to see what arrangements could be made for the town to acquire the rights to the property in order to offer it to prospective industry. (Councillor Ross Taylor report­ ed that former chairman Glen Mickle had been .appointed secre­ tary-treasurer of the Recreation­ al council. •He said all was “quiet” on the garbage front.
