Town committee

meeis

The Cassiar Town Committee
held a meeting on March 23,
1972.

A letter was received from
the RCMP regarding the in-
quiry from the Town Committ-
ee pertaining to No Parking
signs. The RCMP state be-
cause Cassiar is a company
owned town, the appropriate
department Sal thro the com-
pany may post the siqns.
When this is done, the

police will enforce the rul-

ings. A motion was carried
for posting temporary signs
on Malozemoff Avenue from
Creery to Kennedy Streets;
also a siqn to be posted at
the rear of the lounqe en-
forcing No Parking in that
area,

Nn the subject of a veter-
inarian, a questionaire is

)

to be sent to the townsite
esidents regarding a quar-
antee of $500's worth of
business for the veterin-
arian upon his visit to
Cassiar. A report on rabies,
written by Dr. R.G. Schulze
was read and discussed at
this time.

Mr. Christian was approac-
hed by the committee reaqard-
‘ing the plans for a new re-
tail store. His reply being
if all goes well, the store
would be built this summer,
if not, by next sprina. A
definite location has not
been settled but a logical
site according to levelling,
grading, sewage and parking,
was suggested by Mr. Christ-
ian. This would be on the
same side as the C.C.C.,
across from the new Post
Office site. The new store
would contain approximately
twice the floor area of the
present food sales area.

The subject of a morque
has been approved and the
construction of the building
will begin this year. The
location of such will be de-—
cided at the Town Committee's
next meeting.

The next committee elect-
ions will not be held in
May as previously decided,
but are to be held in Aug-
ust or September,
