Inspector.
Mr. Paul Benke, Durham Drive, appeared at the meeting regarding what he
considers to be a growing problem, that is, the unlimi_'ed number of traps
that could be installed in any one range. A Mr. Kametz, living in that area,
also voiced his concern. Attorney Buckley's opinion regarding the
possibility of limiting the number of traps was read. The committee
then discussed the various possible ways of limiting the growth of trap -
shooting ranges. Action was deferred on this matter until the next
meeting.
The Town of Norway will be contacted for a copy of their Boating Ordinance
to determine whether or not the validity of our ordinance is in jeopardy.
