Study fails
to convince
council
Continued from page 1
$3780 grant from Ontario Hydro,
the new metal-halide lights should
pay for themselves in 1.1 years (not
counting about $500 in labour costs
for installation of the equipment).
He presented an analysis done by a
consultant that showed 36 of the
new, brighter lights could provide
more light than the 54 mercury-
vapour lights presently being used.
Because the present lights are
arranged in three rows with two
lights side by side, and the new
lights would be spread over four
rows there would actually be fewer
dark spots in the arena, he said. The
more efficient lights would save
$1660 a year, the study showed, so
that once the initial costs were paid,
there would be an ongoing saving
to the recreation committee.
But councillors were uncon
vinced. Reeve Workman said he
couldn't see any saving in taking
down perfectly good lights and
throwing them in the garbage in
order to save on hydro bills. He
pointed out other Ontario Hydro
promotions over the years, such as
convincing people to put in electric
heat instead of oil, noting now
Hydro is promoting anything buy
electricity. If the program was so
good, it would still be there another
year, the Reeve said.
Mr. Aitchison said there is ongo
ing maintenance costs in the pre
sent lights and that replacing a
ballast in the present lights costs
more than buying one of the new
fixtures.
But Councillor Stretton made the
motion to recommend the money
be set aside for capital needs rather
than for the lighting and the motion
was passed by council.

Theatre has major impact
Continued from page 1
Centre for the Arts is making a
request based on 1990, we would
likely look favourably on it. The
theatre is a main cog in the village
of Blyth. It generates a lot of
impact." He also pointed out that
both the Festival and the village
spend a lot of money maintaining
Memorial Hall, home of the Festi
val.
"On a personal level, I'm proud
of the impact of the theatre," Coun
cillor Steven Sparling said.
Reeve Dave Lee said everybody
has gained by the close partnership
between council and the Festival
over the past 17 years.
