Mir. Charles Gray, chair- mani of the committee, stated that thIe Town of Newcastle was asking for funds that were available to be given over to the Town as soon as possible. It was pointed out that Wintario graints would be applicable to the funds now in the local treasury. There was some discussion on whether or not Wintario grants would be available on thre pledges which as of last week totalled to $57,158.00. Thec committee decided they would send to the Town a, sum of $50,000 in cash and will send over the total of pledges if thre Town can obtain Wvintario grants on the pied- ges. Mr. Klaas,-, DeGroot, Town treasurer, has said that pledges may be used for Wintario grants at this time and that it Wyould only require a statemnent from the commit- tee that so mudch exîsted in pledge formi.

The cash from the committee and the Wintario grants could amount to $250,000.00 which would help the Town greatly in their cash flow position. ~'~- The commyittee on Wednes- day night agreed to turning over pledges and cash if it would assist the Town in financing the project. GENERAL MEETING The Orono Arena Finance Comrmittee plan to hold a general meeting on January l5th at which time they will reassess their position as to the fund-raising project. t was pointed out on Wednes- day that at least ten canvas- sers had not reported back to the committee and that these ca nvassers wNould now have to be contacted to see if they had or intended to carry out their part of the canvass. As a resuit a considerable number of residents in the area had not as yet been canvassed. Mr. Gray said that it now appeared that the canvass in itself would not raise the necessary amiount of funds and that new projects would have to be considered. The purpose of the January l5th meeting wvould centre on new projects. t wais pointed out however that the complete canvass of the area wvould have to be completed. A circular or fact, sheet will be circulated throuighout the area prior to the Ja nuary lStb meeting. Mr. Gray announced that the United AuItomobile Work- ers had donated a sumn of $1,500.00 to the arena fund, a similar amounit as donated to other new arenas being con- structed in the area. Counc.-wants block information, Couinc. Bob Dykstra stated at thie recent meeting of c ounicil that he noted that Primo Ar-go blocks were agin being used in the costruction of the Orono arena. He pointed out that at a recent meeting of council when discussion centred on the use of Newc,,astle blocks and Primo Argo blocks- the Mayorý said he -would investi- gate the problem facing couincil and report back to, council. "We have neyer had. this report", said Counc. Dykstra, "and I am concern- ed ,just how this is progres- sing". Counc. Dykstra said he had reports on the tests of the Newcastle blocks but had neyer seen a report of tests on the Primo Argo blocks. Fur- ther it appears that the Newcastle blocks are more economnical from reports we have to date. Counc. Woodyard said this matter was discussed at the last meeting of the building committee and it was a recommendation of the engi- neer and contractor that they return to the use of the Primo Argo blocks. He also said as far as he knew there was a running test on the Primno, Argo blocks. Counc. Holiday said there was no doubt that Auto-Clave blocks were superior blocks as they were made under controlled conditions. He said however he did not know if the Newcastle blocks would be suitable for the construction. We have emiployved a consult- ant to, protect our interests and it sho.uld be their deci- sion, he said, 'm in no position to make a decision', Counc. Dykstra again stat- ed that council did not 'have the information that %vas supposed t o be brought before it. The building committee of the Orono arena agreed somne weeks ago to use th;e Auto- clave blocks as recommended by the engineer and contract- tor. The Newcastle blocks have been used for somne interior wall construction.
