TOWN COUNCIL MEETINGS

Cassiar Town Council are off to a good start this
year with a good lively group of directors.

It is the intention of the Council to meet with
various individuals responsible for public services in
Cassiar to become more knowledgeable about our town and
its people.

The first meeting was with Corporal Bob Fitzsimmons
which was very informative about the duties of our local
police force. As they are frequently out of the office
for various reasons, there is an answering device in the
office that will tape your message and it will be.
answered when the officer returns.

Speeding in the town site was discussed and Corporal -
Fitzsimmons encouraged the Council members to report
all speeding incidents to his office and he will lay a
charge on this offender. He also mentioned that
unlicensed dogs at large on the streets can bé destroyed
and that he has never seen so many dogs running loose
as there are in this town of ours.

YOUTH CENTRE

For the past 20 years the Cassiar Brownies, Cubs,
Guides and Scouts have held their meetings for short
periods of time in practically every large building
in town. It has been a continual argument each year.
to find a place to hold the meetings and I give a lot
of credit to the people that look after these various
organizations. Most people would have given up long
ago.

But there is finally a light at the end of the
tunnel and we have found a house for these various
organizations.. It will require a few alterations but
the Town Council are quite convinced that with very
little effort it can be made into an ideal spot for
the meetings of Cubs, Brownies, Cadets and Sunday
school. We are referring to the old junior staff
house at 230 Kennedy Street where the Town Council,
along with a few volunteers, have a good start on the
remodelling.

If you have a couple of spare hours, come out and
give them a helping hand.

YOUR PETS

has 30 days before the late licence fee

For the convenience of the residents of Cassiar you
can purchase your dog licence at the Town Administration

Office. Your 1976 licence is due on January lst, 1976.

THREE DOLLAR LICENES ($3.00)
1. Any neutered male dog,
Z. Any male dog weighing 8 pounds or less,
3. Any female dog which is spayed.

A certificate mst be shown in order to get the
lower rate in (1) and (3) above. If no certificate can
be shown the higher rate must be paid. A reasonable
period of time might be allowed to get the certificate,
providing the time allowed does not extend beyond March
3lst. If it did, a late fee of $2.00 would also have to
be charged.

SIX DOLLAR LICENCE ($6.00)
1. Any female dog weight 8 pounds or-less for which
no certificate of spaying-can be produced.

EIGHT DOLLAR LICENCE ($8..00)
1. Any dog over 8 pounds in weight which has not

been spayed or neutered.

After March 3lst of any year all licence fees must
have a late penalty of $2.00 added, except in the case of
the dog just being purchased, in which case the owner
applies; also, a
new dog just entering the Province. . .

An important aspect of licencing that comes to mind
is that people get the idea that because a late licence
fee is not paid until after March 3lst that their dog
does not have to be licenced until that date. This is
a fallacy. The current licences expire on December 31st.
Section 4 (1) (a) of the Act. Section 3(1) of the Act is
quite specific in stating, "No person shall keep a dog
unless a valid and subsisting licence has been issued in
respect of that dog" etc. Anybody who keeps a dog that
is unlicenced between January Ist and March 31st is in
violation of the Act. The regulations under Section
3(4) set out the circumstances where a late licence fee
of $2.00 will be paid. It does not state that a dog
does not have to be licenced until March 31st.’
