with similar establishments presently in operation. Alderman Mabbett
expressed the opinion that additional information was not necessary in
view of the past experiences and problems with City-sponsored dances and
the troublesome youth from other areas attracted to such functions.
Alderman Ranger stated that although he supported the idea of teen
dances generally, and was impressed with the applicant's submission, he
was concerned with the problems that may arise outside the establishment
and would appreciate the comments of R.C.M.P. Inspector Galbraith prior
to granting approval of the licence. Alderman Keryluk expressed the
opinion that the Disco would provide a service to the youth of the City
and would further supplement the City's recreation programmes for youth.
Mayor Campbell advised that Alderman Thompson, who was absent due to
transportation difficulties, was opposed to the establishment of the
Disco on the basis of the anticipated problems outside of the premises
due to its proximity to other licenced establishments in the downtown
area and the Mayor indicated his concurrence with this view.

Licence by the 'Gollywog Teen Disco' at 2614 Shaughnessy Street, be

operation.

Aldermen Keryluk and Traboulay voted against the resolution.

matters in other similar areas. The Recreation Director also indicated
she would Aave a report on the subject available for the next meeting.
