Richmond Hill Police Com- mission lMagisu-ate James But- ler, chairman) has considered complaints received from mem- bers of council on policing at the arena, Mayor Thomas Broadhurst reported to council Monday night. Lazenby, who had complained that he had not seen a police- man in the arena on the occas- ion of the local figure skating club carnival held March 9 and 10, the mayor commented. “I believe it was established to your satisfaction that on the evening in question. policemeni were on the grounds up until midnight or 1 am. although they were not visible to you. The poorest way to try to catch anyone in the art of urongdov ing is to arrive with sirens screaming and lights flashing.“ Turning to Councillor \Villiaml The mayor went on l0 assure council that in the future when public skating is in progress. policemen will make regular checks inside the arena Coun- cillor Lazenby agreed that he was satisfied with the answers received.
