Flaherty advised he had received requests for all night bowling from many of his customers - mainly people who work until 11 P. '~q. and would like to bowl after they leave work at 11. Police Commissioner Don Arndt recommended that bowling cease in time to have the bowling alleys emptied and closed by 1:30 A.. Pit. which would give the people time enough to get into their cars and away before our Policeman made his final check before going off duty at 2 A. M. It was agreed that this would be done, It was also agreed that the Council would reconsider this matter if all-night bowling becomes an accepted fact or if Mr. Flaherty and the Council find the earlier closing hour works a hardship. Court Village Attorney Graham said that Llyd Riley, Justice of the Cases Peace, had asked him to prosecute a "Drunken Driving" case if the defendant pleased "Not Guilty". The occasion did not arise because the defendant pleaded guilty. Graham recommended that if such a case should arise in the future, Riley should set the trial ahead two weeks which will give the attorneys time to gather evidence and prepare; and that an attorney should be present to prosecute the case. This suggestion met with the approval of the Council. U of M Graham reported he had called Mr. O'Hearn, University Attorney, Recreational regarding the lease.
