Alderman Ranger referred to a situation three or four years ago
when Port Coquitlam had a resolution on the floor at a Union of British

Columbia Municipalities' Convention to raise the maximum amount for
>

fines under the Municipal Act to $500.00, and no one from the City got

up to speak to it, and in order to avoid a recurrence, he suggested that
members of Council speak on the five resolutions to be submitted to this
year's UBCM Convention as follows:
- Instaliment Collection of Taxes - Alderman Mabbett;
Fair Taxation of Mobile Homes -Alderman Ranger;
Raising of Maximum Fine ~ Curfew - Alderman Ranger;
Firearm Legislation — Alderman Laking; and
- Income Tax Deductions - Property Taxes ~ Alderman Traboulay,
and to this members of Council generally agreed.

At the request of Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay, Alderman Mabbett
gave a brief resume of his attendance at the official hand-over of the
old C.P.R. City-owned locomotive No. 3716 from Acting-Mayor Alderman
Traboulay to The Honourable David Barrett, Premier of the Province of
British Columbia, last Thursday morning, and he advised that there were
approximately 300 persons in attendance at that time. Alderman Mabbett
further advised that the locomotive had been completely refurbished and
is now in first class working condition, and that during a tour of the
Province it will be returning to Port Coquitlam on July 7th and 8th and
that the coaches it is transporting will have on display many museum
pieces of the past of British Columbia. Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay
advised that Premier Barrett had presented the City with a photograph of
the old engine, and stated he felt it should be hung in a prominent
piace in the City Hall.

Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay referred to the building restrictions
imposed by the Provincial Government on the flood plain area of the
City, and he pointed out that the flood piain areas in Richmond and Pitt
Meadows do not have the same restrictions. The City Administrator
advised that the Provincial Government requires certain regulations be
incorporated in the Zoning By-law before the restriction is lifted and
while and while he has been unable to find out exactly what is required
in that regard, he stated he will endeavour to obtain further information

and report back to Council thereon. Alderman Laking commented that as
