, Elm "We have spent a lot of money on a new ball park, we have a new theatre coming to town, have other sporting facilities, and have talked tonight of playgrounds, and all we need now is an ice arena to provide facilities for our sporting citizens during the winter," said Aid. Frickey. An arena is very badly needed. I am not advocating capital expenditur for the council but be- lieve we can raise the money by public subscription. We ll know of the fuss we have with the Kitetu, ener rink and hockey interests each year, and how this town's players get the "short end of the stick“. There are many good hockey players; in town and others coming aong whom a rink would help. We would have no trouble obtaining a site." Got Loft Oven. "Waterloo gets what is left over for its hockey teams after the Kitch- ener clubs have taken up the players they want for their teams. There is nothing we can -do about it, because when we refused to allow Waterloo teams to be weakened this way we were refused use of the Kitchener ice for practice and games," said Ald. Jacob Welker, who has taken an active interest in Waterloo sporting circles. "We must have trrtifieial ice. As to the arena itself, the town of Fergus had a fine build- ing erected by a Preston firm for only $7,000, and which provides more than ample accommodation. We must remember that curling facilities must also be available." Ald. Bauman concurred in Ald. Welker’s remarks, and Reeve Me- Kersie stated that the only way to get started is to call a public meet- ing. Deputy Reeve Albert Heer was of the opinion.that the funds could be raised. Ald. Welker suggested the Bolduc property next to the Public Utilities Commission's hydro plant, where power could be obtain, ed readily to operate the ice plant. Another suggestion was made that possibly an ice making plant now in town, which was not used much in the cold weather, might be used. Aid. Welker mentioned the property at the rear of the City Hotel, which he said had been used in plans already drawn up to pro- vide sumeient ice surface for hockey, skating and curling.

Stranger. $100 Grant To Skating Rink Own Wedding Party Celebrated at I06 Mr. Strasser takes the View that the Waldemar Dam would not solve the difficulties entirely. and that the cost ot 8300,000 was prohibitive. "35 cents of every $1.00 is now estim- ated as taken from the working man's envelope tor taxes; it would be foolish to step up the taxes tur- ther on such a project."

Strasser’s viewpoint on the matter (which appears elsewhere in' this issue). He heartily endorsed Mr. Strttsser's statements, Mr. Frickey said, and should not see why Waterloo should be burdened with a $50,000 charge for their share of the $3,000,000 project when they would derive no benefit. Kitchener and Brantford sewage plants were inadequate, and increased river flow would not be available for several years. the length of time which it would require to build the dam of the 30,000 acres of marshland north of Fergus. Ald. Frickey stated that an injunction would probably be sought shortly against Kitchener to, correct its plant, and the dam ques- tion would not enter into the mat} ter.
