BAltlilE TOWN COUNCIL It was agreed by all nicmbcis of the Arena Commission that the following information be prcscntcd to the Council regarding operation policy ctc such as rentals to char itable groups or other casual users of the arena and our arrangements with various hockey clubs particu larly the Junior Club In order that your arena be opcr atcd as efficiently as possible tlrc commission and our manager have visited all the hotter arenas in Out ario and some in the Unitcd Status many of them municipallyowncd and discussed our mutual problems with them We have learned much which we are cndcuvoring to use to provide bettcr arena facilities in Burriqw The rentals that thc commission ichargerlocal charitable groups were established and recorded in the minutes of our meeting January 1947 as follows That all community welfare organizations be granted the same financial arrangements namely minimum guarantee to the arena of one hundred dollars or twentyfive percent of the gross gate receipts to the arena which ever be the greater These rates were made after considering our cost of operations and fair plan for large and small groups to rent the arena for money raising pur poses Wc felt that definite rulc had to apply to all similarorganizw ations so there could be do feeling of discrimination The above min utes were adopted only aftcrhiurry cnquirics at other arenas and as result of our experiences as corri mission Your recent letter to us was our first suggestion that some group fclt they were being unfairly treated by the arena commission Our financial statement shows that during the time this rental rate has bccn in force the corn mission is only able to operate be cause wcarc municipully owned otherwise all rentals would be much higher and more ill lcvclvwith
