Mayor Campbell,Aldermen Keryluk and Thompson voted against the resolution.

Prior to passage of the resolution Alderman Traboulay noted that
this problem had been an on-going one since 1970 and that the major

problem with open burning appeared to be that of the fly-ash which

resulted. He noted that he was not opposed to the new ‘smokeless burner'

and that any by-law should be written in a manner to permit operation of
same as well as not restricting the use of outdoor barbeques as his
objections were directly related to land clearing projects. Alderman
Keryluk indicated that he felt a problem would arise if developers were

required to stock-pile their stumps etc. until the Clean-up Weeks and
