Two gfoups of urban farmers intent on ‘tilling the same piece of soil.deep in the heart of North Van- couver City have been told, in effect, totry and settle the dispute themselves.

Richard | Tough, representing the Moodyville gardening society, and Mr.

. Cameron, representing another group of gardeners,

appeared before City.

council, Monday night, to say why each should _be allowed to use City land next to 160 East ist Street, for garden plots.

Tough told council that his group had been granted a licence to use the land since 1978.

This year he said the group wants to expand from the current 20 garden plots to 26 plots.

To do this they would have to expand eastwards onto a piece of land which Tough said Cameron claims is for his use alone.

‘Cameron told council that he has lived next to the City

owned land for ten years and . has been looking . after

the orchard and a garden in the area for some time.

He said that last year he and some friends had 1,00Q square feet under cultivation and that this year a group of nine friends and neighbours want to further expand that area.

Over the past few weeks he said they had spent ap- proximately 30 manhour

.. days clearing the land which

the Moodyville society now wants to use for their garden plots. on

Cameron said he was aware his garden was on City: property and that the

Moodyville group has a

were not aware anybody was already cultivating it.

Tough disputed that land had been under cultivation

for a long time and said

much of it was covered in brambles. _ Some aldermen suggested

that the best solution might

be for-Cameron and his friends to join. the Moodyville society and be given garden plots like other members of the group.-

Canieron agreed to give up an area equivalent to five garden plots but admitted that this was redundant since he had no right to any of the land. .

_After the regular council meeting the. subject was discussed in-camera and City staff were, directed to inform

Cameron's landlord that the

Moodyville group has a licence to ‘use the land and

that’ no / revision of the .

licence is planned. .

But council added that any agreement..the - two groups come to may be in-

‘corporated when the licence

is renewed in 1981.
