ft The Acton Free Press Wed July Town grabs bid for 1000 seat arena Hinton stuck in same row Ab a member of the special building committee for the Georgetown pool and arena was the hero Monday night when Hills council in committee of the whole grabbed the firm bid of submitted by Whitney Con struction Ltd of Brampton to build a seat arena Mr a well known contractor had claimed the million estimate was too high He spent four days exclusively devoted to roundingup bids and proving his could be done for less Over the weekend Mr sent copies of the firm quotation obtained from Whitney Con struction to all councillors Mr Tennant operates his own construction business and at no time has bid on the arena or pool Council instructed the architectural firm of Lee Elken and Becksted to stop all work on the design of the arena and invoice the town for all work done to date They voted unanimously to enter into an agreement with Whitney Construction to design and build the arena The arena building committee 1 will meet with them to draw up specifications Councillor Ern Hyde said we all got a quote I from which is better than anyone could have hoped for It includes everything the town wanted including 1000 seats and the provision for an extra ice surface Hyde said Mr deserved a great deal of credit for his efforts and admitted he had proven his point He said Mr Tennant wants to pin down everything in the specs Hyde pointed out Whitney Construction had built the Century Gardens arena in Brampton and said this one would be the same in the inside but would be masonry on the outside In fairness to Mr we have to admit were getting everything we were going to get for million for He suggested the figure be rounded to to cover contingencies Councillor Mike Armstrong said he had orginally opposed a but said now he saw what could be done for million and what was offered for he was convinced He said this firm could begin construction within three weeks Its foolish to continue with Lee Elken and Becksted he added Councillor Harry Levy said he gave Mr a hard time last week when he was at council But I said if anyone could show me a way to have what we want and save money Id listen Well I listened and Im all for it Mayor Tom Hill said if everything goes through a letter of thanks should be sent to Mr Maybe we could call it arena quipped Councillor Coxe Councillor Russell Miller asked council to meet with Mr before he leaves for a trip to the Arctic fishing next week Tuesday night council pat their stamp of approval on entering Into an agreement with Whitney construction for design and const of the arena as outlined in the WO0O0O lender Only Councillor Ric Morrow the motion which instructed architects Lee and Qeckated to stop all work Morrow criticized

Councillor Ernie which would have allowed H H Bert Hinton to switch rows in Cemetery Acton went down to defeat at the meeting of the Committee the Whole of Halton HlUa council Monday night The finance committee recommended that Hinton be allowed to move but only in the row he Is already in They were concerned with violating their bylaw Is not necessarily a precedent setting move How many times will

Authority we will have to do It for all he said Sykes said that the bylaw wai designed for convenience In accounting while Levy countered that It was designed to allow the town to have control over the plots This Is different because It is an exchange and out of the deal the town will come Into possession of some prime property said Councillor Hyde Levy said that It was not an exchange Wo had to con vince Mr that what would happen Is we would buy back the plots he already owns at tne old price and sell him the plots he wants at the old price We did convince him though that he would have to
