Re: -Proposed Arena By -Law. On December 2nd, the ratepaYers of Wingham will be "asked to vote on a 13y -law which, if carried and sub- ject -to the approval' of the Railway Board, the Town will buy the Wing- ham Arena for Sevent thousand dol- lars. Two 'years.. ago a similar vote was taken and the • By-law was defeated by thirty-three votes, At that tune, while much discussion took place, it afterwards appeared that a large num- ber of voters were not fully convers- ont with the facts and were to some degree handicapped in making a de- • cision as to how they should vote. For the purpose of making the sit- uation more clear, a number of rate- payers have requested that a concise and accurate statement of the facts be given. The original cost of the Arena was $21,000. Of this sum $15,000.00 has been paid by the stockholders and the Directors, leaving a _ balance of $6,000.00 with $1,400,00 of interest, insurance and expenses to pay. Five citizens have guaranteed this .mort gage andinterest. The Arena is off ered' to Wingham at $7,000.00 which is one-third of the cost. If .a group* of 1.35 citizens can build the Arena and ,pay off $15,000.00, it should be a small matter for all of the citizens to pay off the balance of the debt. Foreclosure proceedings were insti- tuted some time ago and unless de- finite action is taken at once the Ar- ena will be advertised and sold. If it should be sold to another munici- pality it will be dismantled and a structure, the original cost of which was $21,000.00, would be lost to the town. On the other hand, if the property is bought by the Town, let us con- sider the probable cost to the tax- payer. Our Cleric states that $900.00 each year would take care of all in- terest and principal payments and pay for the building in 10 Years. This figure is based on the not unreason- WIN GHAM ADVANCEMMES able assumption that the debentures can be sola to bear interest at the rate of 4r/a per cent, per antrum. We then must corisicler *hat revenue is likely to be received and the net am- ount of same should be,.d,eclucted from $900,00• to show exactly what will be the cost to the taxpayers. The statement of receipts anus drs bursements for the year 1933-1934, which is the last year for which the records are complete, show that if hi- tefest were paid: at the rate of 41/2 per cent and the building were in- sured for $4,000.00, the .net revenue would average approximately $400,00. Supposing the net revenue is $350,00, the town would have to raise $550,00 a year, or one -.half of one mill would .have to be added to the rate. This would mean that a person who is ass- essed for $1,000,00 wotrld be called upon to pay 50 cents a year for 10 years and at the ,expiration of that time the Arena would be owned by the Town free of encumbrance.

Ontario Egg Laying Contest On Wednesday, October 23, the fif- teenth Ontario Egg Laying Contest came to an end after a course of 51 weeks, Assisted by the absence of any ser- ious sickness or disease, the records of this year's birds are well in ad- vance of those of any previous con- e' test at Ottawa. Production was un - y i usually steady, particularly during the middle and last stages of the contest. The average yield per bird was 20.7 eggs ,Higher than that of last year. The number of birds which qualified for registration was 203, or 69 more than last year. Egg weights were very good, 49 pens showing an average of over 24 ounces to the dozen for all eggs laid. The Barred Plymouth Rocks were the most conspicuous breed in the fin- al results.
