Entertainment	The Secretary read the application to pay the new
	Tax	Entertainments Duty on the basis of certified returns
		instead of using Government tickets or stamps and the
		same was confirmed. The Chairman (Mr. Clayton)
		having offered his name as surety to the Bond to be given
		for the security of the duty and compliance with the conditions
		of such application, it was unanimously resolved that
		Mr. Clayton be indemnified in respect of such Bond by the
		Company. A copy of the form of application with
		the conditions are annexed hereto.
		The question as to whom the burden of the tax is to fall
		upon was considered and whilst the view was expressed that
		same should be borne by the public the action of the Club
		would be guided largely by the decision of the League.
