Goderich Recreation and Axon
Committee has asked that a new
public address system 4e installed
in the arena and that the committee
setup he changed so that members'
berms start at the ,beginning of
the year rather than -in August:
The request for the pew public
address system, which might cost
$2,000, was referred by Town Ornm,
ell to the fiaance committee for
a neptart. The other request will
be discussed in committee of the
whole at t.he next C./QM:led meeting.
John G. Berry, seeittary-treas-
Arena Committee, wrote Carmen as
"We have at the present time
one very serious problem, and that
is the public address system. It
seems that ever since the perman-
ent floor was put in the mem,-
the public address systeni will not
operate properly. We have spent
meney, eaeh year trying to improve
the -"sitnation but, unless a large
capital outlay is made, it well
always be the same.
"We have been advised that it
will take about $2,000 to put in a
proper: system. We, a eourse, can-
not afford to do this. We feel that
capital outlays should be made by
the town."
The letter continued, "We are
asking that the Town Council make
a provision for the eifenditure of
the required sum for a now &Yam
or at least loan the committee the
required funds payable back over
a period of thne.
"A good public address system Lis
indeed an asset to your arena but
a poor one is very. annoying to
everyone concerned.
Concerning the other matter, Mr.
Berry wrote: "In the past, the
town has passed a ioy-law in 'August
setting up the recreation commit-
tee for the coming year. We feel
that this date should be, changed
and that Your by-law should be
prepared, at the beginning of the
current year to coincide with the'
