By a vote of 5-2 council asked the Town clerk and lawyers to corne up with a« draft bylaw license to regulate the strip parlors down- town. The draft license is- to be ready for September.

LLBO. After the meeting, both members of the audience, who had left when the bylaw was abandoned, and one owner were upset at the licensing motion. "They could make it difficult for us to operate," said Nick Mikos co- owner of the Hotel Royale.. "It sounds like they will regulate us their way. We will have no in- put." "They can't regulate cats and dogs in the town. How are they going to regulate strip parlors?" said a visibly angry Lynne Childerbouse as she left the meeting. 0MB action con sidered after sehool "They (councillors) are spineless.

"'Ail they're doing is putting the value of those properties up. " Doleweerd said he would prefer to have parlors move to mhe in- dustrial area of town and mhen licensed.

"If challenged, you've added a million bucks. That's what you've. done. " "This just adds more value to ýhem (the parlors) ", said Bugelli ter the meeting. "If we limit them and another one wants to come in, they have to buy the license, " hesaid. 1 "Licensing is condoning and I will not condone mhese, " he said.

"If we pass the bylaw, we would by lying to people if we told mhem'it would solve the problem," he said favoring a license. At mhat point, councillor Joe Drumm stood and demanded an apoogy from Brunelle. "Brunelle is calling me a liar," said Drumm who favored the bylaw. "It does misrepresent your opinion," responded Brunelle. "Well I don't think too bighly of your opinion either," shot back Drumm who as he did in commit- tee, moved an amendment to'the bylaw.
