Dear Sir:

Re: VANDALISM TO POCO TRAIL

On Wednesday May 17, 1972 a meeting was held at the City Hall regarding
the damage to the Poco Trail.

At the meeting were Mr. H. Routley and Mr. D. Cank, Cpl. Brookbank and
The Writer.

‘The purpose of the meeting was to ascertain the best method of Policing
Poco Trail; and the best possible method was suggested by Cpl. Brookbank that
the City place a notice in the three major newspapers stating that a $100,00 re-
ward would be given to anyone furnishing information ieading up to the arrest
and conviction of persons or person found damaging any parts or part of the pro=-
perty of the area known as FOCO TRAIL, and that signs also be posted showing
that fines will be imposed should anyone be found damaging the property along
the trail. .

All present at the meeting agreed with the suggestion, however, police
and the writer will be keeping an eye on the troubled area where damage has occ~
urred to date,

Please inform the persons who attended the meeting if this suggestion
will be followed up or perhaps the City Council and: yourself may have other
ideas as to what could be done to stop unscrupulous tactics of the persons res-
ponsible,

Respectfully Submitted,
