Demolition of the present arena building began this week and construction of a new shell is expected to get underway shortly and it is hoped to have the arena 'eady for use by early December. Huron Steel of Lambeth wiff supply and install the necessary structural steel for $127,780 and the steel decking will be provided by Westeel Rosco. Both bids were the lowest received. No bids were received for Last week end it was my pleasure to be invited to Branch 194, Hornepayne as their guest at the mortgage burning ceremony. For a town of 1,800 population, 61 miles north of White River they deserve a lot of credit. Just 10 years ago they built a new Legion Hall about twice the size of Lucan's and in this short period of time the building is completely paid for. Let me tell you they put on a `really big show'. 285 persons sat down to supper and there was lots of room. The Ladies Auxiliary alone donated over $38,000 to the project. Just a real great effort by a group of dedicated mem- bers. Starting Saturday, October 2nd and every second Saturday thereafter until some time in April Branch 540 will be holding a mixed darts night — So come on all you dart players, place your demolition of the present building and council appointed Frank Van Bussel and Sons as project managers. Rates to be received by the Lucan area construction firm for demolition and construction will be basic hourly rate for em- ployees plus 20 percent; super- vision, and administration at $400 per week; overhead at five percent of the total construction costs and this will include carrying charges, office ex- penditures, small trucks, small tools, power tools, office site and storage shack. Councillor Norm Steeper, name on the list provided, At the end of the tournament there will be prizes galore and a gala banquet to wind up the season. Sounds like a lot of fun — but only you the members and guests can make it successful. Many thanks to Comrade Goring who donated a pair of crutches to the Branch. Possibly many are not aware the Lucan branch of the Legion has many items at their disposal which are available, on Loan, to any person requiring them, wheel chairs, crutches, hospital beds just to mention a few. Another free service of your local Legion. Bob Coughlin, Lucan was the winner of the August cheque draw. And that's 30 for this week — remember — Money may talk, but today's dollar doesn't have cents enough to say much. chairman of the committee to select a new clerk-treasurer to replace Mrs. M.L. Gibson who is retiring reported 11 applications have been received. Mrs. Gibson has been involved with municipal work in Lucan for more than 50 years. She will be responsible for the 1976 municipal elections before her retirement takes effect. Council approved a request from the Lucan Horsemen's club to close off a portion of Main Street, Saturday night, Sep- tember 18 while a street dance is in progress. Northbound traffic will be rerouted to Concession 4 to Market and back to Main while southbound vehicles will proceed on Frank to William to Main. Bryan Smith was named to complete the term of George Noyes as a member of the Lucan planning board. Council approved sewage works as submitted by Dave Thompson for a sewer on Chestnut street between Highway 4 and Butler Street. Such sewer is to become part of the existing sanitary sewage system as outlined in the agreement with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Council instructed Mrs. Gibson to use tax arrears procedures as contained in the Municipal Act. As of January 1, 1976 all tax arrear accounts were turned back to Middlesex municipalities by the County of Middlesex. Members of council voiced opposition to a suggestion by the Ontario Ministry of Tran- sportation and Communications to change the speed limits at the south and north limits of the village. The Ministry suggested the present 45 mile per hour restriction in effect be eliminated and 50 hour speeds be allowed until the present 30 mile per hour zones are reached. Objection by council members were based on the beginning of the 30 mile zone near the public school and they felt traffic could not be expected to slow doWn so quickly.
