From the Fire Prevention Officer, March 4th, 1976, concerning an applica~
tion for a Fire Permit to burn on property situated at the South-east corner
of Hastings Street and Davies Avenue, legally described as Lot 91, Plan 3158,
and recommending that issuance thereof be approved.

Moved by Alderman Traboulay:

Seconded by Alderman Ranger:

That the application dated March 2uc, 1976 for a permit to burn at the

South-east corner of Hastings Street and Davies Avenue, legally described

as Lot 91, Plan 3158, be denied. Defeated.
Aldermen Keryluk, Ranger, and Traboulay voted in favour of the resolution.

Prior to defeat of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Traboulay observed
that the Fire Prevention Officer made no supporting statement in his
report on the application and Alderman Mabbett commented that the type
of trees involved in the clearing of this property were largely of the
cottonwood variety which are very hazardous to burn. The Fire Chief
advised he had informed. the: applicant ‘that permission would not be
granted to burn cottonwood trees; however, the applicant had explained to
him that it would be mostly branches that had to be burned. Alderman
Traboulay pointed out that the By-law does not permit open burning that
officials of the City's Fire Department seem to want to support; however,
he stated he would not be opposed to burning required to be done cn farms
in the rural area of the City.

Members of Council then agreed with the suggestion of Mayor Campbell
that no action be taken with respect to the three other applications for

burning permits submitted by the Fire Prevention Officer for consideration

this evening.

The City Clerk advised that as the necessary approval of the Minister
of Municipal Affairs had now been obtained, it would be in order to give

Moved by Aiderman Traboulay:
