If we are truly thankful our gratitude will be ex- pressed in many ways. The evening sermon expanded this theme to "In Everything. Give Thanks." H. C.

The Commission had later call- ed in Ma White, and by retaining everything possible from the plans, a final figure of $45,545.00 had been arrived at. Long Discussion This presentation resulted in a two-hour argument over the prob- lem, Reeve Adair, Councillors Alan Willams and Len Crawford fight- ing •to get the go-ahead over ob- jections from other members of council that the cost was too high. As a matter of interest it should be noted that the Arena Commis- sion was directed to get sketch plans in February.

There are three other children In the family, The little girls were born en Brenda 'aferrnehl's twelfth birthday, then being instructed to have the working plans drawn, and call .for tenders. In the meantime the esti mate cost of $41,000.00 was receiv- ed and council applied to the Muni- cipal Board for permission to issue debentures up to $45,000.00 for the project. It was really a case of second thoughts by council members who opposed the expenditure last week, although all agreed that the pro- blem was one that would have to be settled as soon as possible: Suggests One Storey In the discussion some members of the council said it might be possible to eliminate a second storey on the proposed structure. The second floor plan called for dressing rooms, and a small hall which would provide- a glassed -in view of the ice surface, The ques- tion was asked, if by deleting this second floor, would the cost drop to about $25,000. Reeve Adair and Councillor Williams did not believe this sort of saving could be made. The reeve also pointed out in con- nection with the hall, that it ap- peared there was a 50 per cent chance of obtaining a provincial grant, He stated that William Con. son of the Recreation Commission had been in contact with officials in Toronto, and had phoned back that afternoon to say It appeared that such a grant would be forth- coming, Councillor Williams suggested that the difference between the cost of the re -planned, one -storey building and that of carrying out the original plans would not be more than $20,000, which on the 2D - year debenture, would amount to about one-half mill, On the tax rate. Councillor Nesmith, while not arguing the need for rebuilding the structure, kept pointing to the rise ing mill rate which he stated would have to go up by at least three mills this year to cover essential work on the sewage system, Council adjourned and left the subject in the air when Mayor Hetherington suggested that a public ineetieg should be .held to obtain public opinion an the sub- ject, and to assure council of sup- port before giving the green light to the subject.

The agreement now leaves the project entirely in the hands of the Water Resources Commission. The Commission will call for tenders and actually look after construc- tion of the project, as well as main- tenance, and when completed will bill the town quarterly. The system consists of trunk mains. on Victoria and Josephine Streets for short distances in either direction of the intersection of the two streets, 'Trunk mains along the river, and from Carling 'Terrace south of Diagonal Rend, tic well as a major pumping station at the edge of the prairie, with a force main of nearly a mile to a series of disposal lagoons to the south-west of the Watt. Another small puinping station and force main will service Summit Dr1i e, and proper storm drains will be installed ,it the enntherii enc. of Josephine Street Three Mille The system will cost some 1252.- 000 with an expected write-off of $32,000, leaving $220,000 to be fi- nanced. Firiaheing will be over a 80 -year period nt an aninual outlay of $24,000.00. This will lw paid far by a levy of three mills on the general tax rate, a charge of 4(1 percent of the water rates to all water user's and another 48 percent Iof the water rates charged to pro- perty owners who ate connected to the sewage system.

The 48 percent portion will only mean an increase of about 60 cents per month on the average water bill. The final agreement between the town and the Water Resources Commission will still have to have approval of the Municipal Board, but this is expected to be automatic as the proposal has been gone over with the Board, on the basis of ten- tative figures.
