sport spots By Fred Simpson VOL. 89, N0. 43 Iâ€"SAVEâ€"1 Then came the last minute news that there is a latest. Here it is. Town council has given two readings to a con- struction bylaw to the tune of $360,000. This means in essence that construction will begin on the arena in July which is good news. This particular piece (le resistance originally started out by saying “the latest on that proposed new arena down at the park is that there is not much latest.” A debenture bylaw will be passed later to the amount required when exact cost details have been ascertained. But the $360,000 covers the entire project although that won‘t be the total amount used up by debentures. rl‘he July starting date was decided by council due to the uncertainty of winter works subsidies. There has been some indication the building wouldn‘t be receiving any subsidy. Another point is that the July date (if it starts in July and don’t quote us if it doesn‘t) will mean a saving of some $30,000 which would hare been tacked on to the original tender price of $358,350 if the project didn’t get underway by November 1. One other little item that emerged from a coun- cil meeting last "week‘vva's the ‘c‘omment by Deputyâ€" reeve Floyd Perkins about a'couple of proposed approaches to set up Junior “C” hockey franchises in the toxm. Floyd. as a representative on the arena board. said he» had learned the Ontario Hockey Asociation was giving out a franchise in the area to a private individual out of town on one hand or to an "interâ€" ested group” in town. Floyd was wondering if the arena board should get involved feeling it was an OHA matter entirely. More on this later if it develops. But. as in all things under the sun, the uncerâ€" tainties are still much around and don’t be too surprised if the situation remains in a state of change. The only thing you can be certain of in this life is uncertainty. So we’ll just sit by and wait, see what happens. But the arena will be up . . maybe quicker than you think. The word is that once construction gets underway the completion date is 16 weeks. But one other point on this matter: . Work on the arena won't be foulingr up the usual summertime pursuits at the town park as it won’t get underway â€" in any case â€" until near the end of July . . . after the minor ball, tournaments. etc.. are hors de combat. And current plans seem to be to shape a new diamond in the southâ€"east corner of the town park. Work should soon be commenced on that and when it’s ready, the old diamond will be forsaken. So much for arena talk and if we’re wrong, don’t quote us. i ROAD RACES Now it’s time to turn to summer pursuits and that's just what we’ll have this Saturday as the PUBLIC SKATING DOUBLE RINK ARENAS: 9144 Yonge St. $2.00 â€" Play all day 8 t0 4 p.111 BAKER'S AMBASSADOR SPORTS SEDAN SECOND SECTION REBEL SPORTS SEDAN BUY I967 RAMBLERS ay as you play Hockey ARENA $2272 $2996 (Continued on Page 12) JUNIOR “C” HOCKE‘ SHINNY BEGINS AGAIN AMERICAN IT‘S LIFE ] @133 mm; START IN .ll'lA‘ Saturdays 8 Sundms RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1967 Sales & Service Ltd. .30 p.111 10 [1.111 Jane St at Hwy.
