Re: "Senior Citizens Sewer Rates and Charges Partial Waiver
By-law, 1974, No. 1305”

Council will recall that the above-noted By~law was adopted on March 25th, 1974.
Subsequent to this date we were advised by the Department of Municipal Affairs that since

the By-law dealt with a sewer tax rate it was being advanced to the Lieutenant-Governor

in Council for approval, notwithstanding the fact that the authorizing legislation does

not appear to make such a provision.

The approval of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council is contained in Order in Council

No. 1264 and a slight difficulty is presented in that final passage of the By-law must come
after the Lieutenant-Governor's approval is granted and not before. This can easily be
remedied, however, by adoption of the following two separate resolutions and we would
reconmend them to the Council: .

1. “phat reconsideration, final passage and adoption of the "Senior Citizens Sewer Rates
and’ Charges Partial Waiver By-law, 1974, No. 1305" as given on the 25th day of March,
1974, be rescinded."

2. “That By-law No. 1305 be reconsidered, finally passed and adopted.”
