King Cone, a member of the Athletic Committee which maintains and improves the field, urged the City to share the burden to a certain extent, as the field is used by all of the children, and the public, as a Recreation Field. -He suggested that the electric light bills be sent to the C~ty as this would save the 20% discount allowed on City accounts, the Com~mittee to refund the cost to the City.

The Committee ~0uld still function to maintain and operate the field, but would have the City's backing.
