Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Alderman Thompson:

That the report of the Finance Committee, January 16th, 1976 recommending
an increase of 10% across the board to all licence categories existing
in the present Business Licence By-law, be approved and that the necessary
Amendment By-law be prepared for presentation to Comcil.

Carried.
Alderman Laking voted against the resolution.

Prior to passage of the above resolution a brief discussion ensued
regarding the fact that the fees, in some instances, are quite low,
however, it was pointed out by Alderman Thompson that licencing is for

Mayor Campbell advised that the Senior By-law Enforcement Officer will

be presenting some special licence categories for consideration of

Council at a later date. Concern was exprussed by Aldermen Laking and

Traboulay to the arbitrary figure of 10% being used for a fee increase.
From the Finance Committee, January 16th, 1976 being a recommendation

that the water rates be increased by 25¢ per month for 1976 and that
