ways and means of getting new market into this years stouffville hockey loop while the new- marketers would like to continue in intermediate a class they would like to operate in the local senior b circuit a year ago newmarket did not take too kindly to ideas which the locals had about getting into the trolley league but they have apparently come to the conclusion that a teamup with their eastern neighbor might be the best bet after all the ontario minor hockey association has sent a letter to all d series teams asking for the opinion of the teams on the following proposed regulation covering the series that the d series be restricted to vil lages of approximately 1000 or less population such teams will be permitted to sign players who reside outside the village but within five miles of the post office or centre of the village teams may also sign players from other villages within the 5mile limit providing the combined popula tion does not exceed 1000 the town of lindsay is adver tising a meeting between it and the ontario municipal board the meeting will take the form of a hearing at which time the town will ask permission from the hoard to issue deljentuaes amounting to 0000 covering the cost of replacing arena piping this figure it is reliably reported is on the outside the actual anticipated cost is in the neigh borhood of 5000 which is to include installation of the new piping an estimate of the actual cost of replacing the piping is about 10000 it would appear from informa tion coming to this reporters desk that lindsay is most fort unate in not having to foot the entire bill for new pipes in their arena since they were using steel tubing for their arena piping and we understand had been informed by the ice companies that this material would be eaten out by the sand base if this base were not properly treated each year pipes in the stouffville arena are iron and do not require this sand treatment the calcium chloride brine used in the pipes however is neutralized to prcw vent it from eating out the weld ed joints port hope and stouffville in juvenile playoff its port hope in the next round of the oba juvenile baseball with port playing
