The closure of Walsh
Ave. between Thomas and
Pheasant St. is causing
some. confusion among
residents of the area and
council members.

-A. petition presented to
council two months ago
called for the street to re-
main open, although it is.
normally closed during the

. Summer as a dust control
.Measure. After a council
_ decision to honor the peti-
tion and leave the road

open, . another petition
arrived calling for the
road to be closed. Many

of the same signatures ap-

peared on both petitions.
‘In accordance with a ci-
ty bylaw council reversed

its initial decision and |

ordered one end of Walsh
blocked off, but at the

‘June 22 council meeting a

letter from Walsh resident
Roderick Cameron
demanded the road be re-
opened to give his pro-
perty adequate fire protec-
tion.

In discussing the pro-
blem Ald. Bob Jackman

‘said the city works crew

sent to put up the bar-
‘ricade had inadvertently
blocked off the wrong end
of the street. Rather. than

moving the blockade,
- ‘Jackman said, the bylaw

was altered to conform
with the situation.
Council decided‘ to in-
vite Cameron and the two

Terrace council will
consider the possibility of

upgrading the security

systems at the Terrace
library.

A report received by
council June 22 from
librarian Ed Currell in-

dicating the results of an
‘inspection by

Terrace
RCMP Cst. Ewen Harvie
shows the building to be
defective in door security,

and fireproofing of
valuables.

Ald. George Clark
remarked that the security
improvements may be ex-
pensive but they could

‘result in. long-term. sav-

ings. The report, was refer-

‘red to the Planning and:

The referendum motion
was originally put forward

_in an effort to guage the’
level of public support for -

the half-million dollar
project. The motion was

tabled May 25 pending a '

detailed cost report from
the project architect, but
at the June 22 meeting the

‘report was still not com-

Architect Alexander In-

working drawings are now
60 percent complete, and
he set the date for tender-
call around mid-July. In-
selberg noted delays have
occurred due toa shortage
of local consultants in
some of the engineering
portions of the design.

The referendum motion
will appear again on the

CITY PUTS. BITE ON DOG OWNERS

“TERRACE — Municipal

authorities have expressed

the intent to clamp down |

on owners: of aggressive
dogs by enforcing a bylaw

_.that animal control officer

Frank Bowsher described
as ‘‘one. of. the solidest in
the province’’.

Bowsher said ‘ recently
he has become concerned
because, after a quiet year
in 1986, the number of
people bitten by dogs in
the community appears to
be escalating. ‘‘I want to
remind people we’ve had
this bylaw for the last four
years, and we're going to

start to enforce it,”? he

said.
Bowsher said the bylaw

is directed at people who»
-own dogs that are known

to be vicious, and it re-
quires such dogs to be
securely confined on pri-

vate property or muzzled

when taken into public.
He said the bylaw has
been fine-taned after years
of court cases and is now

tight and well-defined,
‘We going after the
owners, not the dogs,’” he
said, ‘‘and I want people
to understand that if I
have to I’ll throw the book
at them.” The maximum

penalty for’ violation is.

$2,000 and six months in
jail, and under the terms
of the federal Livestock
Control Act an irresponsi-
ble owner can be barred
from having an animal for
up to a year,
which dogs in town are
dangerous, I know who
the owners are, and they

know too,”’ Bowsher.said. - §

He pointed out that one
of the best provisions of

the bylaw allows author- 8

ities to hold dogs involved
in: biting incidents to test

them for rabies and also to’

investigate the circumstan-
ces before laying charges
and determine whether the
dog was unreasonably
provoked before biting.
Bowsher noted there

dition will be built on to

to house offices. -
Except for the drilling

all the labor involved will

be local. The. construc-

sometime.in September.
Da Silva also has
another, project under-
way, at the old Omenica
building on the corner of
Eby and Lazelle. The pro-
ject will result in a mini-
mall. The types of stores

“to be included at the site

are still being determined.

other local malls.
