ARENA was. com-
missioned by the PRC.to
prepare a. feasibility study
under the agreement that a
modest fee would-be. paid
for the work unless’ the

dition of the agreement was
that the voters should
approve of the complex. A.
ARENA would then either
be awarded the balance of
the project or, should
another design firm -be
hired, be paid in full for the
feasibility study.

When another firm was

Mr. Justice Rae noted
that ARENA was thanked

by the PRC for the quality

of its work but ruled that

the municipalities were not -#

agreement.

“The decision appeared - ;

to. go in our favor in the

“But we’re not going to get

any great reputation as a
