post office tower the cloud rolled past The come right back into the local news picture what With the Commission asking for $23500 from the rate paycrs for absolute musts Some confusion seems to have arisen on AUTHORtZED AS SECOtD CLASS RAIL ti POST OFFICE DEPARTIENY OTTAWA Sun Shines Bright Service Honors Fallen dark cloud obscured the sun over Barrie at few minutes before 11 am on Saturday Nov 11 But as the hour of eleven sun shone brightly down as Barrie and district citizens and veterans honored the dead of two wars in the annual Remem brance Day ceremony at the ceiiotaph in Post Office Square During lllt laying of more than mm my be 70 wreaths at the base of the monu uiiderstaiidiiig of Mayors Wilsons statement that Arena will close its doors if repairs are not made It is not the Commission which threat ciits to close the Arena but provin rial building authorities who have made an inspection and will not ap provethc heating arrangement until the boiler is renovated Some $15 000 is required for this purpose Balance consists of $4000 for water proofing and flashing the walls anti $4500 to cover bank loan The Commission chopped off their ori ginal request for another $5000 to remodel the seating arrangement We think this is mistake The seats have to be fixed sooner or later The Commission tnight just as well ask for $28500 as $23500 The ratepayers will either approve complete expenditure of all necessary work or NONE AT ALL Now we do not propose to dig into this subject or attempt to find any goats at this time We do know from bitter experience that serving on public commis sion of any kind without recom pense and in particular on the Arena Commission is trying job which brings nothing but criticism We propose to get the facts and present them to the
