"it's up to city council to take the lead." The board already has rough architectural plans for a foot- pall field, baseball diamond and track for the planned third construction stage at the audi- torium. The board expects to have about $40,000 to help pay for the project and government grants might add up to about $25,000 -- leaving an approxi- mate balance in cost of about $235,000, a municipal official says. As the auditorium now stands -- with a maze of indoor sports facilities -- it is worth more than $3,000,000, counting land | He said in the last few years the general public has donated more than $1,000,000 through financial drives and "as far as public campaigns are concern- ed we have exhausted the pub- lic's resources for recreation."' SELL STADIUM Con. Frank McCallum told board of control yesterday about the apparent reluctance to approach the public for more money. He suggested the sale of Kinsmen Stadium to cover the balance of phase three's cost. "Now I say," said Mr. Kelly today, 'it is up to council to most antiquated sports ground in Ontario--Kinsmen Stadium." He added that he has been say- ing "for years" the stadium should be sold. He cited several problems at the stadium that could be act- ing as a deterrent to Oshawa sports. --defective night lights; --limited parking; --no facilities for spectators. He said Kinsmen facilities costs, says Mr, Kelly, Civic Auditorium Name '7 3:ces22s 2 Remains Most Popular "Oshawa Civic Auditorium" continues to be the most popu- lar name for the city's major sports-recreation complex, a Times' citizens' survey re-| veals.

"Oshawa Civic Recreation Centre may be the best way of describing the multi-purpose aspect but I have no strong feelings on the matter," he said Mrs. Grant Murray, 960 King Street East, who attends many of the hockey games at the auditorium, said she would like the auditorium to be known as the Centennial Sports Centre.
