sacrifices in other areas of their lifestyle On a recent trip to Las Vegas Tyler noticed many hotels renovating or expanding He wonders if the owners know something the general public doesn I know or

concerned about people want liquor permits for several more Sun days and wondered how many special occasions there would be He said if here was no public address system 90 per cent of noise problems

on the condition there are no loud speakers Councillor Walter noted this was Ihe idea he suggested to council In the past but it was rejected A resolution proposed by Sheldon ap proved the liquor permit for this Sunday but on the condition there are no loud speakers and Vuclnic is responsible for any noise Mayor Peter Pomeroy said Vucinic will have to agree in writing to the conditions and if there is a loud speaker used it would affect council decisions on permits for the Yugoslavs m the future Lusty added the group using the centre should be aware thai the ban on loud speakers also
