and final reading came up at Mondays council meeting With all councillors favouring most of the by law a dispute arose about spelling out in what parks snowmobiles would be allowed The by law allows regulation of this by the Recreation Committee without spelling out any definite After a lengthy debate the by law was withdrawn for further committee study And the Recreat Ion Committee was asked to submit a man of areas in porks which it considered suitable for this fast growing winter sport BANNED The bylaw bans operation of snowmobiles In town Dot ween 11 and and at all times on Iph and Mam Streets except to make a crossing The vehicles cannot be used on Jioolgrounds where the town has established skating rinks They cannot be used on median strips sidewalks or boulevards They ore banned from public parks unless authorized by the Recreation Committee No one under age opera tea except on private property with the owner perm- lalty of for first for each offence is provided Cr Em Hyde led the faction which disputes the regulation concerning parks Deputy Reeve Speight supported horn Parks are for all the people he maintained The deputy said there is not the damage to grass which some would have one believe They are allowed on golf courses he pointed out Cr Recreation Committee Is entrusted with park operation and Is the logical governing body CONFUSING The bylow allows flexibility said Donna who Is a member of the Recreation Comm ittee If there is a heavy snow the machines could go places where at other times they might be banned This would be confusing Ernest We cant soy yes at one time and no at another or it will get hope lessly confused he said SMALL PARKS Reeve Morrow said he wonts snowmobiles banned from small parks like Gibbons where noise can disturb neighbours But I don t favour a ban from all parks he said We should name areas where they will be allowed so he public will know Hyde said it would be imposs ible for Ihe Recreation Committee keep on top of snow conditions and he wards areas spelled out in ihe by law They vc had oil summer to do this he said A great deal of Cedar vale Park is ideal for this sport Reeve Morrow said safety and noise are his main concerns and this restricts some town parkland but he also expects the Recreation Committee to lay out trails where snowmobiles con be used I thought the Committee and the Snowmobile Club had done this said Mayor Smith Theres a lot of going on observed Cr Siddoll He said the Snowmobile Club had been contacted three times and third reading of the bylaw had been delayed but nothing has been heard from them Hyde disputed this He said the club had asked for parts of Ccdarvale and had been refused BACKWARDS Mayor Smith asked Cr If the Committee could lei him what trails would be established With a negative answer he sold he could not favour passing the bylaw that f claimed that the whole matter is backwards Were waiting for the bylaw to be passed so wehave the authority to make a decision on the use of parks she said This is a small town and we all know each other said Cr Joan Smith Surely council and Recreation Committee can get together and solve the problem I hate to
