Port Perry Rink A meeting of the Directors and Shareholders of the Port Perry Rink Company was held at the Community Room in the Public Library, the fol- lowing sharcholders being present: Messrs. W. M. Letcher, A. L. McDer- mott, S. Farmer, M. A. Gerrow, Ww. M. Bowes, J. Staley, D. Corbman,' Ed. Balfour, G. F. Manning, Secretary. Mr. Gerrow, Vice-President, took the chair in the absence of President Jas, Cawker. The election of officers was post- poned until Mr. Bowes gave his special report re the position of the Rink in relation to Corporation regulations and tax. ' Mr. Bowes having been in touch with the Provincial Department, re- ported that the Directors were persons ally vesponsible~for seeing that all wages are paid, alsg for the forward- ng to the Provincial Department a complete financial statement of the Rink Company annually as required by law--with liability to a fine if this duty is neglected. He further stated that there is a tax of one-twentieth of one per cent. on the authorizéd capital shares; 5° of the net profits; a fee of $2.00 under the Information Act; and an Amuse- ment Tax of §3.00 annually. It was moved by W. M. Letcher, seconded by S. Farmer, that a vote of appreciation be extended to Mr, W. M. Bowes for the information obtained, not only for this mecting; but for valuable assistance given legally at other meetings. Carried. Discussion arose at the request of the chair' as to what steps should be taken to further the interests of the Rink. I. It was suggested that shares be offered to the young people upon the instalment plan--$5.00 per share. The idey being to avoid changing the cn - 2. That the Charter be surrendered and the administration of the rink be placed in hands of a committee con- sisting of members of the Council, Business Men's Association and Lions Club. Nothing was done with these sug- gestions as the meeting was not suf- ficiently representative of the share- Jholders. It was pointed out that prior to 1938, the rink had not been paying operating expenses, In 1938 nine directors were elected. These men and a number of ladies had scarificed their time for the past two years, with good financial results for the Rink. Apparently there has been some eritie- ism of the efforts put forth; and such criticism makes it diflicult to sccure a continuance of the service render, However, it was decided that thd Rink must be kept going, and the fol- lowing officers were elected: President--M. A. Gerrow. Vice-President--A. L. McDermott. Sec'y-Treas.--G. F. Manning. Mr. E. Balfour was appointed care- taker at a salary of $12.08<a week, and refreshment booth privileges were let to D. Corbman upon a rental of $25 for the season. Season tickets will be issued at $2, for single adults; $5.00 for family.
