regardless of the outcome Following a stormy session where representatives of the Legion walked out of the council meeting Monday night four members of the Parks and Recreation Committee during an adjournment of the council meeting passed a motion from the Recreation Committee advising the Legion that If no communication was received by them from the Legion by Friday September 24 to the effect they would continue to operate the hockey according to the rates set by the Recreation Committee they would assume the answer was negative and the Parks and Recreation Committee would operate minor hockey Norm Ward Legion president told council they had gone back to the Parks and Recreation Committee as they were advised to do by council and were told by chairman Ivan Crabtree that only per boy separated the figures of the Legion and the Committee We were willing to go for this he added He told council the Legion last year charged per boy plus for Insurance He explained they did not have an insurance policy but kept the money apart to cover any In Juries When I asked if it would be then said Mr Ward Ivan asked If would be all right to which we agreed We understood this would be the

of the cost last year the seemed to have paid 31 percent and the Legion seemed to have paid about percent It would appear that a moderate increase in costs to the participants would meet the
