5. McMahon Park Building
The Committee has had numerous meetings with the Bowling
Club and the Lawn Tennis Club to bring about an amalgamation
of these organizations.
This appears to be fruitless.
The Committee would therefore recommend to Council that the
Lawn Bowling Club be charged a fee of $200.00 per season
and the Lawn Tennis Club be charged a fee of $400.00
per season. This was a majority decision.
