ÇB1ts and1 Pneliminany drawings wcre presented ta Darlington- Muni- cipal Council at thc meeting by Mr. Totten. He pointed cut that there was no heating unit shown in the preliminary draw- ings as he did not knaw what plans thc council had for heat- mng thc new building. Reeve Roy W. Nichols told council that if he werc building a new garage tomorrow he would instaîl radiant heating ta keep the floons dry. He deemed it advisable ta find out -thc cost cf radiant heating, hot water heatinýg and hot air heat- ing. The matter was discussed and the council instructed Mr. Totten te investigate thc prices of th_,.,Ieatypes ofi heating -fd t ~the new building will b. appnaximatcly 88 feet long. Deputy-Reeve Gar- net Rickard stated that lie was of the opinion that it* would cost about $20.000 ta finish the building net too elaborately.

Wc understand, however, that there was some misunderstanding because the wording was flot clear. According ta Town Clerk Robert Reynolds the regulation does flot apply ta present employees, except iu one case where a staff member was seeking per- mission ta build a house outside of town. h will apply ta anyone hircd in future. t t i. i. t ESPECIALLY FOR BEGINNERS - Roy Neads, man- aLger ai the Arena. would like ta stress that the Family Skating Period on Sunday afternoons from 3 to 5 is dcsigned especially for littie tais who may jusi be lcarning ta skate. A special section ai the ice surface is ropcd off for them a'nd' their parents. Quite a few were on hand last Sunday but there is rooni for a great many more.
