Ail summer long we endeavoured fo aise funds and te some extent weme successful, especiaily among business men and industries, but ive eonciuded the summer far short cf our objective, mainiy because se meny people refused te contribute until ive could show them that the Amena ivould be buiit this year. Contributions and promises at Sept. Ist amounted te some $35,000 and we decidcd te start building with the hope that the citizens of Bowmanviile and district would support us flnanciaiiy once they could see the project golng ahead. This we have donc, giving the contract te a young and well reconunended firm of veterans, eager te enter the Amena field and with that are cernent aveilabie. Their work, se far has justlfied our confidence in them. They too have gambled because until this week ne eontract had actually been signed and they had net rcceived a cent for their labors. The centract has been spiit into four payrnents each of whlch wiii be made prier te the actual stage being started. For Instance, the initial payment of over $21,000, whlch has now been made, includes the surveying, architect's fees, the footings, the foundation and erection of cernent block waiis. The second payment cf $12,000 willi pay for the nine trusses when they arrive. The third payment cf over $19,000 willl include the piaclng of the trusses and the completion of the roof and the fourth payment cf ever $9,000 will take care cf the Ice cushion, the heating, iightlng and flnlshing cf the interlor exeept for seats. Seating ivili be taken came, cf separately at a later date or can be done by local carpenters If deemed advisabie. At the present time %ve have sufficient funds te make the first two payments and part of the third. We aise have prospects cf obtaining $5,000 profit from the sale cf tickets on the Pontiac car, and S5,000 fmom the provincial govenment by way cf a grant. Neither cf these amounts are assured at the moment so that a minimum cf $20,000 ls requlred from citizen contributions in Bowmanviile and district. There may have been better %v'ays cf obtaining an Amena but this is the method which ive have adopted after long heurs cf considemation. We knew that the peeple cf Botimanviile can give this amount easiiy. WVe know that, ,%%hen this Amena Is completed, ail w~ho have cntmlbutedl %viii be more than pleased to know that they have piayed a part in helping te ereet wihat the contracters say wfill be one cf the niost beautiful Amenas in Ontario.
