‘Trailer Court Owners
Protest Licence Fees _

A delegation of motel and
trailer court owners appeared
before Castlegar council
week to protest the “unreason-
able” trades lcence fee of
a year per trailer space and
the apparently different rates
being charged various motels.

Delegation spokesman’ Bob
Hunter told commissioners a

ut

lage's trades Hcence fee sche-
dule for ‘trailers “is setting an
example for business to soak
construction workers for all
they are worth.”

Mr, Hunter said that while
it is said that trailers do not

highly taxed. He suggetsed that
if the village “drives trailers out
of town” to Blueberry and Rob-
son yers are going to have
to buy school buses with which
to
children back to schools in Cas-

Pay school taxes, account sho-| tl

uld be taken “of the fact that
the land they are set up on is

matter “is to pi
us out of business.” He said
people are moving their trailers
to Robson and Blueberry Creck
rather than pay the higher char.
ges in Castlegar necessitated by
the trades licence fee,

Mr. Hunter said that if these
trailer parks hadn’t been de-
veloped, some of the new: bus-
iness established in Castlegar
wouldn't be ‘in’: existence 'be-

We -are being
charged $20a year per trailer
space. whether it is occupied or
not. In checking the rates of
Kelowna, Warfield and Nelson,
we find their rates are $2 a
year per trailer. i

Also the different ‘rates for
trades licence charged.to mo-
tels. Example: .One party pays
$30, ina six-month period for
five units,- while another party
only pays $5 for a’ six-month
period for six units, yi

The rate is supposed to be
50c per room every six months,
Revenue from .one motel unit
is approximately six times
greater than from. one trailer
space, yet trades licence on mo-
tel units is one-tenth the rate
of ‘a trailer. space...
No. 2:Garbagea : ‘

We are being charged ‘for
garbage pick-up for trailers that

do not exist: Example: The Ce- students who studied in Rus-] }¥

dar ‘Crest Motel. is billed for

of garbage ‘each pick-up.

Sewage is being charged
for in. the same manner as

charges for trades licence or

‘We as motel and_ trailer
trailer. court owners object to
being called second class citi-
zens, as; quoted in the press
recently that ‘trailer courts look-
ed like Indian camps. Some ‘of
those “teepees” cost from $6,-
000: to $16,000.

i explained too us at
one. time-that people living in
trailers do: not pay school tax,
ete.

In one case the taxes on
three acres is $793 plus garbage,
plus trades licences of $20. a
year per trailer. z
ee her words, we object
.to being driven out of business.
