74 Handbook) Regulations regarding the Majority Vote of the Members present, not mentioning "matters of principle, it would be well to ascertain what this phrase meant exactly, before a decision was made. Report 7. Notice was drawn to the "Terms of Reference "(Item 2) & it was agreed that so far as this report was concerned, the mention of the F. A. Cup Competition was extraneous. Report 8. As in Report 7, it was felt that the Football League was the body, on our behalf, that should press for equitable treatment in the incidence of the Entertainment Tax. Recommendation 12. Letter read from Mr. Fred Everiss J. P. of West Bromwich. It was agreed that we oppose this Rec. on a matter of principle, as taking away our proper authority to appoint our representative at Annual & General Meetings of the Football League. Recom. 14. It was agreed to consider this in two parts. To the first, we agree that there be no fixed Maximum Transfer Fees. To the second, that there should be no restriction on the power of Clubs to make their own financial arrangements with regard to payment of Transfer Fees. As we were usually in the position of a Creditor Club, this finding should be of importance. Recom. 18. Agree to increase of wages to £9 Playing Season, & £7, Close Season as weekly maximum. Recom. 21. That the wording is vague, but if as it reads, it is correct, then we feel that War Service/Period should rank towards Benefit. Report 10. That this is a domestic matter for Clubs. If the Football League concurs, there is no necessity.
