The freezing | solutions are carried in six inch mains from the plant to the ice and of course, back again ugh a return pipe of the same . This removes all machinery | | from the arena itself and at the] same time, due to the fact ths | of Oshawa creek, directly in the rear | of the City Ice Company's plant, To the average layman, some of the statistics covering its construc- tion are almost awe-inspiring, although heartily appreciated do form a barometer which designate the business acumen and the courag of those responsible for its erection. Nine miles of pipe are laid the skating surface floor. really constitute one long. pipe that length, due to the fact that each separate length instead of being join ed in the ordinary way ed coupling has been 3 welded to the end of its neighbor. it is | ] | summertime to provide the city of] | Oshawa with artificial ice for domes: tic use, it gives the Arena Conip i access to machinery for making their | ice, which is 100 per cent. in ca-| | pacity but for actual requirements | will ordinarily suffice, In the construction of the ing and the seating there has close ta half a million feet of lum-| | ber. his quantity, if piled in the | build- been ordinary lumberyard fashion with alleyway to make it accessible, would cover an urea of approximately one acre. This will give some idea of the quantity of lumber used in the construction. Twenty-five tons of asphalt were put on the roof. This does not take into account the felt, which was plac- ed on the roof as well as the asphalt. It has taken five tons of nails to fa bricate the building, and a tremend- ous quantity of glass of all kinds. The man entrance is situated at the south end of the east side, and the rush seat entrance is on the north end at the east side. All doors, throughout the whole arena, are pro- vided with automatic exit springs, and the whole building has been in- spected and passed by the City En- gineer, by the Fire Chief, by the Chief of Police and by the Fire Mar- shall's office in Toronto as well as the Fire Underwriters. Every possible safety has built into the building, and all con- ditions, which it has been possible to foresee, have been taken care of for the public comfort and safety, It is a long time since the need | for an arena of this kind has been paramount in Oshawa, actuality, and the sponsors of the pro- ject are to be heartily congratulated their eourage and foresight.

To those who have inspired this good work, to those who are responsible for the erection and to those who will manage same, may we extend our sincere wishes for a success such as will repay amply, the endeavors that have been spent on the arena. Hand-in-hand with this progress goes the story of the Quality and Service rendered at Anderson's to the Men and Young Men in this City and surrounding districts--for years Anderson's have catered to the trade and have today won for themselves a name for quality and service that is second to none in the City of Oshawa. ~ Where the Particular Man Makes His Purchases Andersons Men's Wear Limited woe RR ee | FORMER ENEMIES MAY | i | Of Kitchener, past president of the OLA, was present at the open~ ing of the row Arena-on Thurs day night, SEES FEN SN i 2 + JUTE ANI JOHNSTON Secretary va City 4 has al- rested in sports especially (he real good man Who is Tr Hock sure Spends ts me aln
