of 25 per cent of fees collected cr goodlet said he had been dis cussing the appointment with mr brownridge and felt that this jyear he should have the full cooperation of council and police if hejwere to do the job successfully mayor armstrong agreed and said it is of len helpful if there is any trouble in collecting to have a policeman call at the house as a reminder norton i don t like that it smacks of gestapo tactics to bring the police into it armstrong us better to have them call with a reminder than with a summons allen after last years dog tax campaign mr brownridge may have some trouble finding the dogs but i dont think he 11 have much trou ble collecting the tax once he finds them a discussion originated by cr al len about why the board of parks did not look after the park ended when the bylaw establishing the board and the section of the muni cipal act under which it was crea ted were reviewed allen im confused about the boards title no money is spent on the park why is it all spent on the arena goodlet 1 thihkah the money shouldn t be spent inxpne place the ball club wonts 100 perhaps our council committee could meet with the board and sec v hat could be done mayor when the town took over the arena in 1944 council stu died the proper method of manage ment and this seemed the proper one the parks board were asked once about looking after the park but felt they had enough on their hands with the arena we are re quired to give them a mill or the tax rate and they can spend it as they see fit we must remember that not one payment on the artificial ice debenture has been paid by the town allen this year we are faced with some expense at the park we have done some good work with voluntary labour and it should be continued we need toilets a 1700 wiring job the board of parks get credit for anything done arid yet they have no interest in it if theres a mill grant there should be a stipulation that a percentage be spent on the park mcgrvray last year was the first year the board asked for their whole grant mayor we can t allot a sum of money and expect it to do two jobs where it did one before allen- my only concern is that the legion unions fire brigade and other bodies wont donate their time to fixing up the park and find that their children wilt be charged admission who collects fees m the park mayor in almost every case the park is given free to organiza tions only once can i remember w outside group paying a fee in this case the town received it allen the arena is only open to children whose parents have mo ney 1 don t
