However, it has been an expensive relationship to us and, if it were not for the subsidies our hockey team receives from Detroit, we would be substantially in the red on our entire operations.” Mr, Wirtz said he would meet with the board Jan. 25 or the week after, if the members thought it necessary to discuss matters not already covered in previous letters.
