Councillors were sympathetic butCouncillor William Howson pointed out that although the jump in licence fee seemed high, the cost of licensing a dog over the years hasn’t gone up so much in comparison to many other costs. Councillors pointed out that al­ though Mr. Sillib’s dog might not be a problem, other dogs were causing problems and the expens­ es must be paid.

Council reconsidered the situa­ tion later in the meeting byt decided it could not see changing the new licence fee adopted at the January meeting.
