When the 1951 council made a levy on the Aurora taxpayers of supposedly as expenses of the Aurora Recreation Commis sion I as chairman of the finance committee of the Recreation Commission sought an explana tion from Councillor Harold gle who was chairman of the finance committee of the town council with unsatisfactory re suits When the matter was discussed at a regular meeting of the Commission they ted their a irrn an Don Glass to interview the town clerk Mr Clarke and en deavor to get the facts He reported at the next regu lar meeting that he had been shown the books and quoted the figures 1 gave in my previous letter In the discussion which follow ed the manager of the arena stated that 1100 of the 2600 levy was for the debt owing to the town treasury by the Arena Commission for expenses paid by the town treasurer on their be half in Representatives of the local papers were present at the time The action of the town council in making a levy on the taxpay ers for expenses for the Recrea tion Commission to cover a debt incurred by the Arena Commis sion is hard to understand unless it was done to save the faces of a few big shots on the Arena Commission At any rate the taxpayers did pay almost half a mill in their taxes to cover a debt incur red by the Arena Commission and nobody should know that any better than the secretarytreasur er of the Arena Commission If the arena accounts both such statement or they do want to show its contents in my opinion the town council pussyfooted around the arena problem apparently afraid of injuring their popularity with ia certain clique Is the council going to do the same The mayor and the newly ap pointed council representatives to the arena commission can get the facts at the office The accounts may have been juggled somewhat but the facts should not be hard to find I believe the source of my in formation is reliable but if by any chance I was mistaken I will readily admit it but it will take more than vague unsubstantia ted statements to convince me or the public If on the other hand I am proven right a rebuilding job on the Arena Commission would seem to be overdue- It has been our pleasure and our
