LACK OF PARKING
Coun. Cox's main argument against the purchase centred around lack of parking space for cars of people going to the rink and said the Coliseum was far superior in this respect. He also said the latter was a much newer structure and suggested a delay in proceedings in order to have the city engineer exam- ine costs as he thought it might be a better idea to build a new rink even if it meant spending an additional 3100.000.

; Coun. William MacNeill m- fpiying to remarks about. what lthe structure had cost Mr. Burke said the city had to con- sider a replacement cost and stated Mr. Burke had already inquired into the matter and nad been quoted a price of $270,000. For this reason he thought the deal with Mr. Burke was far ahead of anything else considered and said in view of the price they were to pay it would be best to take it because later buying of parking space would be cheaper than putting up a new rink.
N0 FIRE TRAP
On a question raised regard- ing fire safety_ Fire Chief H.H. Jewell was called in and said the building could be emptied in emergencies in five minutes as the present exits were am- ple if kept. open and manned. Hc said the furnace room needs some changes as it would awkward to get in there if fire occurred in that portion. But he maintained the Arena was ‘no fire trap'.
Coun. Hyndman suggested in {view of sentiments of other councillors he postpone a vote on his motion until city engin- cer Norman Stewart had a chance to examine the building
and determine its mnd‘itihn. This was agreed to and the emergency meeting was ad-
journed to 5 o’clock this after-
n . IMPORTANT POINT
An important consideration In the committee‘s move was the lannouncement last year regard- ing participation in the federal physical fitness program. It Is believed that with acquisition of the Sports Arena, the city would name a recreational director and thus be able to qualify for fed- eral financial grants.
Such a director would be In lcharge of summer programs, and lalso be responsible. for operating ‘the Arena in winter.
