',Canada Jam' 'Canada Jam', the official name for a concert being held at Mosport on August 26, will go ahead whether Newcastle council ikes it or not, as. long as the company complies witb the town's by-laws, Larry Simpson, I__by-law enforcemient officer said. For the past week, the music festival has been advertised on several 'Toronto radio stations as, being an all-day event that will rival sirnilar concerts held in California, Set the licence application has not een discussed at council. The promoters applied for the licence last Wednesday. Accordinig to townofficials, it isn't unusual for a cornpany to advertise an event before a licence is granted althougb on the surface it appears pr emature. Mr. Simpson said as long as the promoters- meet all the requirements of the by-law, council could not stop the event. The by-law calis for the promoters to pay for the policing, provide for any liability the town might incur, and pay the $100 licencing fee. Durham Regional Police Chief, Jon Jenkins said the policing cost had not been established yet,. although the department would know this week. For a car race, it usually costs between $12,000 and $15,000, however, these figures aren't even in the baîl park as far as. Chief Jenkins is concerned. "It would be mucn higher than this, " he said.

No other details were available at press tirne. Coming same baîll park. This concert would, be staffed strictly on an overtime basis whereas at races, we can- accommodate them with on-duty police officers." The chief went on to say the company backing the festival, Carling-O'Keefe, had proved to be extrernely co-operative s0 far, and everyone involved in the process bad gone out of their way to meet the requests of the departnMent. "'These people know exactly what <they're doing, 'the chief said. "Very fine people to, deal with and they want to, fulfill all the requirements of the by-law. " As for the costs for liability to the town, Mr. Simpson said the brewing company was investigating the matter with its insurance company to see if it's covered. If the town receives a letter from the insurance Company sta 'ting damage resulting from the concert will be paid for by tbern and all liability covered, no mone y would have to be posted. l'All we're concerned about is protecting the people of Newcastle" said Mr. Simpson. "We don't feel tbey should have to suffer. just because a group of people want to have a concert."
