"Tight Money"
Hits Arena
Members of the Seaforth Ar-
ena 'board have backed notes
held by the Bank of IComnserce
here ever since the floor was
put in the big rink, 3. E. Keat-
ing, a former mayor told Sea -
forth town council last Thurs-
day. Appearing' with him were
W. J. Duncan and M. A. Reid.
He said that these three and 3.
A. Stewart and Dr. McMaster
ascii had notes for $900 with the
bank which since the tight mon-
ey policy was now asking that
the 'backers put up collateral in
addition to the notes. The
amount owing was original1Y
$5000 .but $600 had been paid
off and now $4500 remained.
Mr. Keating saidit was 'hard-
ly
hardly fair to expect members tithe
board to do more than they had
already done. They were paying
&% now and suggested the town
could obtain a lower rate.
He said the ice machine had
been put in under a similar ar-
rangement There had only been
three rinks with ice machines 1
the area at the time and by
renting the rink for praetioethe
money had been finally paid.
The proposal to pay for the
floor then looked easy: If they
had known how dead things
were going to drop they would
never have touched it. However
it was very nice baying the floor
there and it was a great help to
the fall fair.
Mr, Duncan said the 'public
had dug down deep when the
building was put up and in addi-
tion the town 'had guaranteed
$40,000. The first year the
$2800 debenture had been paid
'by the community center and
the following ones by the town.
The floor had cost $10,000.
Mr. Keating asked council to
pay the insurance -premium of
$987 which the board was un-
able to meet. Insurance is $40,-
000 on the building and $5000
on contents.
Councillor Kellar said about
$30,000 was still owing on the
debentures for the arena.
Mr. Keating had praise for the
board members -who had done so
much work to keep the !building
operating. They did not have a
caretaker during the summer
and members had helped with
preparing the building for vari-
ous events, helping in the booth,
etc. Some maintenance workis
needed both in the arena and
dressing rooms. He complained
that users were so careless and
destructive with public ,property
and it was very discouraging
when, those in charge, who were
trying to stretch every dollar to
find such foolish things as .bro-
ken windows. Mr. Keating said
another headache had been deal-
ing with union music. He gave
council a financial report of the
board.
Gouncil left the whole matter
over to its meeting this week.
