A discussion ensued and Alderman Keryluk suggested that further
information on the proposal be obtained from the League President prior
to consideration by Council, and Alderman Laking stated he agreed,
particularly with respect to the ice-time schedule and the question of
whether additional seating would be required, and he suggested that the

request be tabled for three weeks; however, Alderman Thompson commented

that if the league would not be starting until September next, the

applicant should be advised that nothing will be done this year, and @

advise that the Committee had no intention of altering the present
schedule. Alderman Ranger stated his concern that the participation

the request, and pointed out that because of league regulations, this
matter should be dealt with as quickly as possible. Alderman Ti aboulay
expressed concern at the possible re-scheduling of ice-time for minor
