Presenit at a meeting on Monday affer- noon were Mike Sawyer of the arena commiîttee and Peter Flemming of Totten Sims Hubicki Assacietes Ltd. ta answer questions; council might have regarding delet- ions in the construction of the arena. The total amnount of deletions amounted to $22,- 300.00 bringing the cost of the arena down to $777,300.00 f romr $729,600.00. Contract must or re-negotiate Peter Fleming reminded council that unless fhe con- tract agreement was signed by September 29th t he con- tract was vaîd at the present price. At this time the boards would have to re-negotiate with the contractor or re-fen- der for another one. These figures wvere arrived at last Tuesdlay during a meeting held at the Orono Town Halal. The confrect price of the arena was studied and wvith the help of engineers f romn Bel-Con certain items were deleted f ram the con- struction. One area of deletions nar- rowed the length of the fimie ice would be available in the arena frorn twelve months clown to eight months. Doing this cut the cost by about $16,175.00. Other delet ions include graphic painting in the halls, lobby and canteen, glazed shape roof over ent- rance and emergency lighting inside. One disputed item which mey or may not be deleted is the sprinkler ,ystem. Accord- im. ta tlhe code, stated Mr. Flemming, the sprinklers are required, however depending on wiater pressure, and avaH-ý ability of water froni different sources you can get around the code and delete- the systems. Councillor Dykstra made if quite cllear that he would rather. pey in the beginning for mor i nstE con: the! be d agre coni for1 Hamiltons Insurance Ser- vice wishes fa announce the winners of the Lucky Drew, held at Orono Fair, Sepfem- ber 1th, 1977.

NEW BRIDGE OPEN For those people who in the pest few nionths travelling from Orona ta Bowmenville have had ta take dletours fa gef around the new bridge construction an Concession Street, yau cen sfart gaing the aid way as the roed is now open and the bridge seemns to be quite safe. WE HAVE HEARD IT BEFORE The first phase 0f the Millbrook arena has been campletedet a cosf 0f $1,20,000.00. MAillbrook is now looking et the second phase which includesý finishing the canimunity centre rooni, tiling the kitchen and other minar warks. The lowest bld for the warks wes $79,000 sane $10,000 mare than expected. It has been suggested thet possibly some of the warks will have ta be elimineted et this finie, A familier stary as fer as arenas are concernied. NEW RATES A WAY UP Boafers who rent spece et eifher Bewdley or Gore's Lnading niay find thet nexf year the rate will have risen- considerebly. In the past e yearly rate of $30.00 a year existed.

Underground cavern at Wesleyville G.S. ConstructiQ>iî of Cenada's first underg round ail starage facilities will' begin almost immediately at Ontario Hy-, dro's Wesleyville Generafing Station, six.miles west of Port Hope. The f irsi of a series of contracfs ta build the caverns has been awarded ta K.V.N. (Kilmer Van Nostrand) Con. sfruct ion Limited of Toronto. Under this initial $2.5 million contrecf K-V.N. will con- struct the access tunnel ta the caverns and build a bridge over the Lakeshore Roed for construction truck traffic. Approximately 60 workers employed by K,V.N. will ioin the approximate 340 people now working et the Wesley- ville project.* .During the new few years other firms illi have oppor- tunities ta bid on the construc- tion and excavation of under- ground tunnels andon instal- lation of the electrical and mpechanical systems required ta operafe the ail storage fa cil ity. Envîronmentally, this met- hod of ail storage is practîcal- îy pollution free and is. a major factor in Hydro's decisian fa select under- ground storage. Underground caverns for ail1 storage have been success- fully used in Sweden, Finland and 'France but have neyer been canstrucfed on this continent. To store fuel et Hydr's other ail-f ired gener- ating station et Lennox, near Bath, f ive above-ground tanks were constructed. Bath financial and environniental consideratons influenced Hy- drota go underground with fuel storage af Wesleyville.' Gealagical tests and studies conducted in 1974 and 1975 by Hydra and Mined Storage Limîted (a jointly owned subsidairyof Banister Contin- ental Limnited of Mississauga and Geostock of France) indicated the limestone bed- rock would be suiteble for this type 0f fuel storage. Two caverns will store residual ail for regular use in the generat- ing station bolIers and one cavern will contain crude ail as reserve fuel. Each cavern wvil consist of six intercon- nected tunnel segments 33 wîide by 53 feet high with e cepacity of 1.6 million barrels of ail. Although ail will be indirect contact wifh the lîmesfone walls of thie cavernis, no special lining wvill be requir- ed. The caverns wvill be lacated belaw the water table and, because ail is lighfer than wafer, the weter pres- sur-' in the surraunding rock will alwvays be greater than the ail pressure in the cavernis. The pressure dîffer- enfil will be maintained by pumping the water tram the bottoni 0f the cavern tai the surface, where if will be treeted ta remove ail bef are if returns ta the weter table. If has been determined thaf the underground method of ail storage will reduce the star- age cost per barrel of oil when compered ta the aboya- graund methoci.

To pravide passengers with more usuable seating space, GM's engineers have talken a number of innovative steps, such as slicing off the reer seat armirests and carvirig ouf specious pockef depressians, where elbows cen rest natur- ally and camfortably.
