PRESIDENT'S RECOMMENDATION
Mr. Tacchi then put the following recommendation from the General Committee to the meeting:
That three divisions of the league be instituted commencing 1937 sen- son. Each Club to start with not more than one team in any Division. Thereafter promotion and relegallon from one division to another to be compulsory."
In doing so, he said that he found that most clubs were in favour of having three divisions. He pointed out that the League would be easier to run and the season would be Shorter.
