trage at booze raid

is lost on NV City Hall

LIQUOR was seized by the RCMP at a party on
May 13 in North Vancouver, and the party goers
were understandably outraged.

Especially since it was a
fundraising party held at the
North Vancouver Recrea-
tion Centre to raise money
for Emily Murphy House —
a refuge for battered women
-- which is operated by the
North Shore Crisis Service.

The police seized 20 per
cent of the booze which was
going to be served at the par-
ty, because the amount of li-
quor exceeded the amount
allowed under the Special
Occasion Licence.

But one partygoer wrote
to North Vancouver City
Hall to express his indigna-

y TERRY LA DER

tion at the seizure.

“This wasn't a meeting of
the Hell's Angels. This was a
gathering of adults, mostly
couples, to raise money for a
very worthwhile charity,”
James Mercier of West Van-
couver wrote to the mayor.
“Surely to God, if rules were
being broken, and the law
had to be complied with, a
simple request to remove the
excess bottles would have
sufficed.”

But council voted to write

back to Mercier, telling him
the police were merely en-
forcing the law, and had to
seize the excess liquor.

Council members’ were
more concerned about the
fact that the special occasion
licence had been granted in
the first place. It seems that
no-one - bothered to ask
council for the licence.

Not only is council sup-
posed to approve all such
licences, but the City only
has six a year to grant.

Council voted to tell the
RCMP, the Recreation Com-
mission and the Liquor
Branch that only council! has
the authority to grant a
‘licence for a public function
on public property.
