(News -Record photo) Decision expected soon on Hensall arena costs The final cost of Hensall arena should be $690,315, according • to Reeve Harold Knight. Hensall building committee passed a motion of intent last week to have Logan Con- struction, Lucan, plan the arena construction for the $690,315 cost but the plans have to be. approved by engineering firm C.C. Parker, London, and the department of labour, said Knight. There is a $24,000 option in the tender which could be deleted by council "but to take full advantage of Win- tario grants, out of the $24,000 we would only cut our fund raising objective by $8,000 and Wintario saves $16,000", said Knight. ,. Knight said the council could cut an option on the arena roofing "but here's no point in having a good building without a good roof and good foundation". , The arena construction would begin by mid-August and be completed by med- February, said Knight. "We hop to sign a contract by next week and hope to be digging by med-August", he said.
