The salesmen will have proper identification and the Police De- partment will be notified of the names of all salesmen. The salesmen will also explain the options fully and will leave literature indicating rates should the prospective customer wish to have time to consider before sub- scribing.

Mr. Donald Bailey, representing Bridge School Associa- tion, was present. Mr. Busa noted that the Las Vegas Night operation was permitted under a Raffle and Bazaar Permit, issued to Bridge School Association on June 30, 1982, but questionned the profit making aspect of the sale of beer and wine in conjunction with this activity.
