ENTRANCE FREE INCREASE
The Council have also decided th increase the entrance fees "and annual subscription fees for Leagues and clubs from $2 to $10. This means that a club has to pay an additional sum of $8; yearly to the Association. This contribution is small considering the decision of the Association to assume the liability of referees tees instead of asking the clubs them- selves to pay for the same even though it has been ascertained, that in England all amateur clubs have to pay such fees.
The proposed alterations are self- explanatory and need no further comment. Item «(5) refers to Rule 20 of the Amateur Football League and it is regretted that owing to a slip the rule in question has been omitted from the notice convening the meeting.
