to Talstra. ; .
“If the study came back say- |

I'd like to pull all: the players in,

In the meantime, Talstra said

“We. have checked with our
solicitors because enforcing a
by-law is very tricky,’”. he said.

“it's up to the city whether to
enforce a by-law or not, and for. |

‘the moment we've told the
RCMP that we want a legal opi-

‘that we can enforce this by-law
before we go ahead,”

. He added that the usual
method of charging people who
violated'a city by-law would be
ineffective in this instance.
“‘They go to court, pay their $30
and off they go,”’ he explained.

Talstra said that the city’s cur-

Forestry to do a limited amount
of hauling,and even though that
agreement wasn’t signed, coun-
cil’s intent to allow limited log-

‘He said only a few of the 60 to
