The councillor added that she questioned the improvements -the association made at the grandstand. She felt that the improvements made were for their own benefit and to give committee of council was in-' strUcted to discuss the lease for the association, not the Friday night.use of the park. "Last year the Friday night racing was new 'and no one ' could be blamed for the problem but this year no effort was made to discuss the subject between the two groups and the, pressure was put on council to solve the problem," Mrs. Haydon stated. 'She said she personally was satisfied viiith, the decision of council but • would support the majority adding that • the association should appoint one spokesman to avoid disputing quotes. • Mr. MacKay admitted that, the two 'groups had not met on the matter to date.
