Transient trader debate over Bon Ton Shop license terms
The council debated whether Bon Ton Shoe Store qualifies as a transient trader after leasing on Second Street and paying taxes. Lawyer W A Begg argued the $500 license is unfair since the shop is clearly permanent, urging refund or extension of the license term and bylaw amendment. The Milk Producers Association also sought action on dairy surveys and enforcement recommendations. The council edged toward a temporary license and directed a survey continuation.
