regulate licensing of dog ken new He proposed putting teeth Into the present con train three page re port to the committee recom mended incorporating parts of a Fergus by law in one for Hills but he warned it had not been tested in the courts so it would be wise to proceed with caution Licensing kennels is a tricky business now for lie issuer Grant Usher the meeting but the clerk pointed out his intent was to license the owners not the property and control the numbers and quality of ken nels in that fashion He said It would require the zoning ad mini strut or to view the pro perty to sec if it conflicted with residential amenities or abutting properties What recourse do people around kennels have if the building inspector says It Is a lovely building but the dogs arc howling alt night

would allow the dog owner to buy individual licenses for dogs if no kennel license could be secured Deputy treasurer and lie issuer Grant Usher told councillors there were five applications pending for ken ncl licenses one in the urban area and the others rurai Councillors reviewed efforts at control ling kennels in the past not the former township had even stopped issuing licences Prior to that council looked at the individual merits of each ease before committing themselves to granting a ken nrl licenee Councillor said he would like to see a by law which did not restrict kennels but protected residents in the urban areas He felt if an owner did not meet requirements he should not be able to keep more than two dogs He point out the loophole existed where if an applicant did not receive a kennel licence he still get individual he for dogs However the clerk pointed out provisions in the proposed by law would make it expensive Grant Usher said had a more expen sive approach Individual lie there required for the first dog for the second and each additional doe cost MO which was one way to control the number dogs Chairman Ham lew thought it would be bitter to control dogs by numbers than dollars but said for residents who t sleep because of howling dogs dollars or numbers made no rente The suggested those who purchased indmdual also faced the expense of acquiring licences for pups once thev were 12 weeks old A kennel licence covers all dogs Tor a year and is all that can be charged for ken nel licences b statute Mr said Fergus also proposed to protect bv dollars charging S3 for the first dog for the second for the third and each id pooch would cost again if urhan dents had not complained about odors from dogs the dork reiterated his previous statement about no problems Councillor Levy said he doubted the wisdom or trying to limit the dogs making square footage requirements such as proposed Councillor rnic said he felt the committee should move on the by law and not put restrictions can find ways around said his concern for the urban areas was real but if there are no problems he would not pursue it In the clerk opinion the by law should allow thosi kennels already licenced to continue but wanted to guarantee protection for the public when new kennels were erected He said both municipal and health authorities had the right to caned licences
