Dog Menace,

The increasing menace of roam-
Ing dog packs and chronic over-

{parking in the downtown area

posed near-insoluble problems to
the Castlegar Village Commission
on Monday night. ;

Overparking

Baffle Village Commission

Kraft said, “I have no suggestion
to cffer. A town policeman might
help, but the cost would be very
great.” Parking meters were dis-
cussed briefly, but here, too,‘the
cost was found to be prohibitive.

The C then studied

increasing constantly, and dogs
were ing the dis-

several] letters from stock brokers
outlining the municipal bond sit-
uation and quoting discounts and

trict freely, ” upsetting garbage
cans, fighting on the stedwalks, |
getting between children's legs,
and dirtying doors and buildings.

He doubted that all dogs in
the Village were licensed. “Even
if they’ are licensed, they still
don't behave,” he told the Com-
mission, “The Village License In-
spector feels that he is not paid ©
enough to be.a dogeatcher.”

Chairman Elmer Kraft said
that he was well aware of the
situation, but that to his best
knowledge there was nothing the
Village could do. “Trail and Nel-
son have gone through the same,”
he sald, “without any appreciable
improvement.”

Comm. Gordon Pettitt's chief
complaint was continuous over-
parking in front of his store
and elsewhere In restricted park-
ing areas, “I know. three or four
business and professional men
who aré parking their cars for.
three and four hours every day
in a ‘two-hour parking -zone,”. he
sald. “If. I were. the. inspector .I
could catch them easily. It cer-
tainly is ‘not in: the public inter-
est that shoppers who come in

ture emerging from these gffers
| was that a 5 per cent interes:
rate on bonds sold at par woulc
|have to be accepted, and that the
outlook did not appear favorable
for lower rates, An estimate sub-
mitted by B, C. Affleck put the
probable cost of a new permar-
ent tank and water system ait
present at about $90,855. This
was about $10,000 more than
last year’s estimate, and did not
jinclude the cost of the temporary
tank and the feeder line, about
$10,000.

Mr, Kraft said that a reply was
now awaited from the Inspector
of Municipalities, after which a
special meeting to discuss fin-
ancing of the water system and
a water by-law would be called.

The Commissioners then took
