Tenders were received by the Town until April 25 for the construction of Stanley Court and industrial lot grading. The project originated as a result of a report from the Co-Ordinator of Develop- ment, dealing with the possi- bility of an industrial land sale for the purposes of construction of a roller skating arena, the report to Council states. It is the policy of the town to accept the low tender, provided that the company which has submitted the bid is capable of completing the required work. It had been estimated ear- lier, during the opposition debate, by Town Treasurer Forbes "Doc" McEwen that the cost would be about $200,000 for the lot grading and road construction.' The Consulting Engineers hav'e estimated a total cost on the project of $180,000, the report states. The total cost of this pro- ject will be financed from the sale of industrial land.
