Carried.
Aldermen Ranger and Traboulay voted against the resolution.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Traboulay
stated he was opposed to the burning permit being granted due to the present
foggy weather already causing air pollution; however, Alderman Thompson
pointed out that adjacent municipalities permit burning in agricultural
areas. Alderman Laking stated he felt the permit should be granted on
the stipulation that no burning will take place during foggy weather,
and Alderman Mabbett stated he would agree to approval. of the permit
providing the City's Fire Prevention Officer controls the timing of the
burning proposed to be undertaken.

with the Law Act vs. the Juvenile Delinquents’ Act".

Alderman Traboulay referred to one of the recommendations in the
"McMath Report-on Assessments", calling for the Provincial Government to
increase its share of educational costs based on property taxes up to

75% from the present 45%, and in support of his view that Municipal

‘Councils, School Boards, Regional Districts, «tc. should be urging the

Provincial Government to accept this recommendation, he gave Notice of a
Motion to be presented next week that a letter to that effect be so
forwarded from this Council.
