Alderman Laking reported on his attendance at the Canadian Federation
of Municipalities Conference in Vancouver last week and outlined the
discussions held on the five major points of discussion, i.e. Financing,
Transportation, Housing, Land Use and Recreation, and noted that while
many of the subjects under consideration were very timely, there were a
number of resolutions considered which, in his opinion, should have been
dealt with on a provincial level due to their limited application.

Alderman Ranger questioned the status of the proposed revisions to
the City's Zoning By-law and enquired when it would be presented for

Council's final consideration and was advised by Alderman Laking that

some problems in implementation of the Proposed changes had been encountered i

and upon the return of Mayor Campbell to the City, a full meeting of
Council would be held to reconsider the matter. The City Engineer
pointed out for information that he had been advised by Provincial
authorities that legislation will soon be passed that will require all

jegal surveys carried out in 1977 to be done in Metric and therefore he

suggested that some consideration should be given to the revision of the

City's Subdivision of Land and Zoning By-laws to take this into consideration.

Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay noted that he had been advised that
the Happy Times Preschool (who had been attempting to locate in PoCo
House) had found new premises in the Catholic Church Hall on Chester
Street for a one year period.

Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay referred to his query at the last
Council meeting regarding the funds expended on advertising in local
newspapers and stated his feeling that a policy should be set to eliminate
such duplication of advertising and the unnecessary expenses involved.

Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay referred to a copy of a letter sent
to Robert Wenman, M.P. by the City Engineer with a cartoon relative to
the local dyking situation attached and suggested the local press may be
interested in a copy of same.

Acting-Mayor Alderman Traboulay commented on this attendance at the
C.F.M. (F.C.M.) Conference and advised that the document outlining and
analysing public finance entitled "Puppets on a Shoestring" had been
adopted by the Conference delegates and he would make his copy available
for anyone interested in perusing same. He further noted that rhe
