Concern that a proposal for a neighbourhood pub on
Keith and Hampton would endanger the tranquility of
the local residents will receive further consideration
by Terrace district council,
A special public hearing was held in council

fo by

chambers Monday night to give local residents a
chance to air their objections. Some of the eight people
attending the meeting thought the pub would be an
infringement on the rights of about 600 residents living
near the site.

- Some of the residents apparently feel it will be a bad
influence on children, and will draw many people from

outside the immediate area, A petition with 30
signatures opposing the project had earlier been
submitted to council, prompting the special hearing.
Black Davis, who with Kelly Williams would build
the establishment, claimed he took an informal survey
of residents on Kelth,

Terrace council debated for a considerable
length of time Monday night, trying to come up
with an appropriate gift for the first child born in
the district’s boundaries in the new year.

Alderman Jack Talstra’s suggestion of a free

pass for a year’s skating at the arena was
rejected for obvious reasons, though Taistra
qualified his suggestion by noting he hadn’t
specified which year the pass would be effective.

After much soul-searching, council finally did
make a decision without going into committee
for a change. The district will purchase a BCRIC
share for the 1980 baby.

intention of trying for the prize.

1 Council goes
for tighter

dog controls

By ED YUDIN

Herald Staff Writer

Terrace district council
has appointed a new
animal control officer for
1980 in an attempt to
Solve the dog control
problems which have
been plaguing local
residents.

The contract
awarded to David
Milligan at Monday
night’s session of council,
though his bid was the
highest of the three
submitted for the animal
control contract.

Helmut Giesbrecht, the

was

chairman of the
protective services
committee, told the
Herald after the meeting,

the move was made in
part due to media
pressure... ....---

“The members of
council felt some changes
were in order especially
in response to the reports
by the local media," he
said. ‘We decided to go to
the higher bidder.”

Milligan originally
submitted a bid in the
$35,000 range. He was
advised to lower it, which
he subsequently did.
Milligan’s bid of $26,580
was still several thousand
dollars in excess of that
submitted by Doris
Sturko, the 1979 animal
control officer. With a
decision to go with a new
officer was a change in
policy on dog control.

“We want a much more
visible animal control
function,” explained
Giesbrecht whose
committee recommended
the change.

Some of the new ideas
to be implemented will be
education of the public, |
stricter enforcement, and
the legality of entering on
private property to ap-
prehend loose dogs.

Giesbrecht said council
will take a close look at
tightening up the dog
control bylaw.
