Repairs to make the building building structurally sound according according to the building code would amount to $170,000. But here the report states that even this amount of work would not retard the deterioration deterioration of the building. The cost of a new shell over the present ice surface was estimated at $250,000.

Dreadful, a real dreadful situation. The fact of L35 was brought about this week as the result of publishing a Solid Waste Management Study compiled by the James F. MacLaren Company Limited for the Durham Regional Council. The work was commissioned by the Region of Durham in October 1974. According to the study, L35 will be created by expanding , the capacity of the existing Darlington landfill site located located at the 10th Concession in the vicinity of Lot 31. To start the expansion the district waste from Uxbridge Township Township will now be trucked to Darlington as the formerly used Uxbridge site disposal contract ended on August 31, 1976. When the garbage dump ,at Scott Township is closed in November of this year, the waste of Scott will wind tip in Darlington. Action at Darlington will Continued'.
