team with one hour of practice ice time free of charge each week but stood firm on their previous decision to charge the team 12 an hour ice rental fortunes the compromise resulted from request for reconsideration of the change in ice rental from the 6040 gate split agreement to a flat rate of 12 an hour voiced by roy goodwin and george haggett members of the tanners executive tanners use three hours of ice time for games and an hour and a half for practice each week at the 12 rate they would have had la pay 54 a week for ice the boards latest decision will cut the bill to 42 mr goodwin told the board that it would cost between 3000 and s3j0o to operate a team for the coming season he said the team had lost money last year but chances of icing a contending team and thus increasing gate receipts this year were very good when board chairman brendan aheame asked what the teams average gate receipts for last season were mr haggett quoted 1117 as the total amount of gale receipts for the

100 a game if you dont get 100 people to a game its hardly worthwhile having a team board member war duval contended mr haggett replied that if the team experienced another season u poor as ihe last one even the executive would have to think twice about continuing to operate a team on ihe other hand mr goodwin admitted that in the event tanners iced a real contender this year they probably would be better off paying 12 an hour however he added that the executive did not want to gamble on this speaking in defence of the change to a flat rale of 12 an hour board chairman brendan aheame explained that even at 12 an hour the board was subsidizing the team since they could get 20 an hour from out of town teams mr goodwin replied that he thought the community centre wu built to provide recreation for townspeople and not just to make money board member herb dodds said he couldnt see how the board could justify renting ice to the tanners for leu money than minor hockey learns were paying especially when the tanners had more opportunities to make money he estimated 70 per cent of the people in town could care less whether they have an intermediate team or not in reply to mr dodds mr goodwin said he felt intermediate hockey was advertising the town of acton all over the province of ontario and added that on the basis of the 6040 gate split intermediate hockey wu probably paying 1 2 an hour when others were paying only 3 in the 30a and r after discussing the matter in private for a few minutes the board made the offer of one hour free practice time a week mr aheame
