Re: Leaflet Distribution

At the regular Council meeting held on June 25th, 1973 a letter dated June 17th,
1973 was received from the Coquitlam Chamber of Commerce requesting that the Council
pass @ by-law to make it illegal to place advertising leaflets on parked autamobiles
and a copy of this letter is attached for the Council's information. Following receipt
of the letter the Council instructed the Administration to examine the request and also
attached hereto is a draft by~law we have prepared that would prehibit the placing of
advertising leaflets on automobiles as requested by the Chamber.

This by~law hag been drafted under the authority of Section 870(m) of’ the Municipal
Act which provides that the Council may by by-law:

"Prohibit the posting, exhibiting, or distributing of placards, playbills, posters,
advertising, writings, or pictures, or the writing of words, or the making of pictures
er drawings which are indecent er may tend to“corrupst or demoraiize, on walls or fences,
or elsewhere, on or adjacent to a highway or public place."

If the Council wish to proceed with the By-law we will be able to assign a number to

it at the Council meeting and it will then be available for first three readings.
