4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesd ay, February 2, 1960 AT BOWMANVILLE Ratepayers Ask Voice On Arena Committee BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- At the conclusion of Monday night's town council meeting, the Bowmanville Ratepayers' Asso- ciation learned it was still with- out representation on the arena management committee. A delegation from the RPA led by president Norman Hannan at- tended the council meeting to sub- mit a formal protest at its re- presentative appointed last year, director James Coyle's being dropped from the 1960 manage- ment committee. Mr. Hannan asked first was the seventh member (meaning Branch 178 president Edward Rundle) ever contacted before being appointed to the committee. Reeve Sidney Little, who filled the mayor's chair in the absence of Mayor W. D. Carruthers, who was out of town, stated he did not know. Mr. Hannan stated he knew Mr. Rundle was contacted before his appointment and that he consid- ered unfair to the Ratepayers' Association "and" to the taxpay ers who are now faced with a re pair bill of $45,000 for the arena The taxpayers should be repre- sented on that committee," he in- sisted Answering on behalf of council, Clerk-treasurer R: B.

Just before a motion to ad- journ the meeting, Mr. Hannan again rose in protest for the asso- ication not being represented on the management committee. GET GRANT He questioned whether or not council's decision made earlier in the meeting was final and the RPA would still be without repre- sentation on the arena board. When informed it was, he want- ed to know if the committee was just for the 1960 season. Then he wanted to know if the arena was called the Bowmanville Memorial Arena or the Bowmanville Com- munity Memorial Arena. After some discussion, it was the general consensus the proper name was Bowmanville Memorial Arena as the town gets a provin- cial grant for it. First vice - president Thomas {Masterson deplored council's ac- tion when disposing of Mr. Coyle as "unfair because he wasn't even nofified he was going to be be dropped from the committee. We think it's an unfair way to work, we don't like it and we're going Lo give it much more pub- licity," he told council The association's second ques- tion would it be ible to allow taxpayers who pay their taxes for the year at the first of the year, could it be done at a four per cent rebate in {order to save the town _money in! vas poss are Garbage able tol" the taxpayer money.

He stated extra gar- bage collections were going a bit too far as cost to the town was concerned. He suggested council adopt the system but refer the cost back to the next hoard of works meeting for consideration.
