sports functions and recreation centres in England and Europe has become
extremely popular. Both organizations have checked with the R.C.M.P. who have:.
no objections, however, the R.C.M.P. wish the City Council to endorse: the
request. The Leisure Activities Committee has discussed the proposal and wish
to make the following recommendation for consideration of Council:

rental charge of $ 5.00 for the room, to compensate for the cleaning. Also,
that after a trial period of approximately one month; the request will come -
back to Council on Monday, June 9th, 1975 for evaluation and further recommend-
