congestion and hazards from/ the 20'' years, and it is considered by
corner., •of Campbell and Ross • Reeve Joynt, ,who has studied the.
costs closely' that -the. taxpayer
would .not likely stand to have
to . pay any more than he did
when natural ice was in operation.
At .that . time there : was an an-
nual deficit of around. $1,000 which
was . undertaken by the taxpayer.
' The two winters which artificial`
ice has been in operation have
showed a small operational profit,
and it is . considered . that year-
round .revenue could be increased
with a new .and modern . struc-
ture: ' ' •
If there was , an annual deficit
of ` $1,006 • in meeting the . deben-
ture, this would 'figure out at
about. $2.84 per $1,000. of assess-
ment.
The Other .Alternative
•The other ' alternative is for
Council. to spend some $10,000 or
more on straight maintenance and.
preservation n of the. present build--
ing without any of the other ad-
vantages incorporated in the new:
building• plan. •
'.To. Inform, Ratepayers •
At last week's: meeting it wad
agreed that this "vital statistics"
information be incorporated in 'a
questionnaire form "Are you in
favor? , and circulated person-.
ally. • by, 'members of the Lions.
Club,. Legion and. any other . in=.
terested' organization,. so that the
taxpayer would get . a true and
detailed. picture of the proposed
project::
Sufficient support for the un
dertaking would, likely , mean that
Municipal Board . approval would .
be received without the necessity
of .a plebiscite:.
