ario, which might help in the funding of the
project.
He said he doesn't expect the operating
costs of a new arena to be above the costs
absorbed by the four municipalities for the
present arena. He says he expects the
arena to be built to the arena board's
satisfaction before it is taken over by the
municipalities. "We're riot going to take it
over with $100,000 against it," he said.
Because the project is still in its infancy,
Murray said he doesn't have any concerns
directed at the project as it now stands. As
of yet, no one has come to the arena board
with any complaints against the proposed
construction of a new arena. He said;
however, that if people in the community
have any questions regarding the project, a
fact finding meeting can be set up at a later
date.
Cathy Todd, the member of the arena
board from West Wawanosh -Township,
supports the move for a new arena because
it is "desperately" needed by. the com-
munity.
The biggest concern she has about the
fund raising, venture is the enormous sum /
of money required to build a new arena
complex.
"It's a big project for a small, com-
munity. If you figure out the cost per
person - It's a lot of dough. It (the fund
raising) is a good incentive for people to
think it's a worthwhile project. If it works
as well as the Wingham hospital fund
raising drive it should, go over well;" she
said.,
Dave Eadie, the arena board represen-
tative from Kinloss Township, is in favour
• of the new arena complex. However, he
would like to see a substantial .amount of
money raised before the beginning of con-
struction. He says that other towns who
have built arenas have run into interest
problems which built up because of a lack
of initial funding. The Ontario and 'Federal
governments won't include interest costs
as part of the grant.
"It's a big project, a bigger project than
Lucknow and area has ever had. We have
to tread fairly carefully. We, don't want to
burden taxpayers with extra taxes. We've
got to have financing in place before
construction," he said.
Grant Fairish,' Ashfield Township's
arenaboard representative, commented
that he was in favour of giving the lions.
Club permission togo ahead with the
funding of the arena project because a new
arena will be needed in the future.
He said he hopes the fund . raising
campaign will be successful so that the
arena can bebuilt all at once rather than
having it built in stages over a longer
period of time.
