Prospects For New Rink Dim in Summerside,

, Prospects for a new skating rink I'll Sumnitrsioe being built by the TONI became poorer last. night iihen it was learned from the chairman oi the citizens’ ways and igeans committee, Dr. l-LE. Clark, u“! 110 lino been informed that ‘re Recorder had given an opin- ion which appeared to b, u, We effect that the Town has no pow-or without on amendment to its act of incorporation to build ii. rink. Di‘. Clark said that he had c111- 6d n meeting of his committee for this evening to discuss the platter with Particular consideration oc- iiik given to this latest develop- ment.

His information came in p, ins. tor from Mayor J.F. Arnett ad- vising him that an opinion had been ‘received from the Remmer, Mr. L. H. Strong, K.C. and he felt that the committee should knuw of it for their deliberations. A cosy °Y the °Dlnion was enclosed which is as follows;

"AS requested by the letter frmi the Town Clerk oi No ember iith, 1949. 1" respect to holding e. pie‘:- iscite on the question of the ‘Touq building a rink, and paying for it out of the taxpayers‘ money, hg-g t0 state as follows; There dqes not “PPPFIF to be any powers vested in the ‘Town Council by its ineorpora. tlon act that would enable them w ow a by-law IOI‘ tn, puypcgg aforesaid.

"In case a by-law requires the assent of the rate-payers before the final passing thereof, the pro-- cedure for a plebiscite ls laid down in 5 George V., cap. 18 (passed in 1-915). This gives in detail the Procedure required to be followed including the form of the ballot.

"In other words, it would ap- peal" from the above that the Town Council has no powcf 1,0 P855 a by-iaw oi this nature, therefore a plebiscite would haie no effect even ii the act o! 1915 ivas followed.

"In short, the Town havln; no poiver,to pass the said by-law, therefore no plebiscite could he held under said act.

"Trusting this answers your in- quiry.

"I remain

“Yours very truly,

"Ernest l-i. Strong, Recorder."
