Tax relief denied

TERRACE — A one percentage point increase in
federal sales tax that took effect-April 1, 1986 will
add $7,000 to the cost of Terrace’s new RCMP

A letter over the signature of federal finance
minister Michael Wilson received at the Feb. 23
meeting of Terrace council rejected a request from
the city for waiving of the tax on the $2 million
The letter stated, ‘‘... it

would be impossible for the government to waive
the tax in the case of your construction contract
without also waiving the increase with respect to
every other transaction which straddled the budget

The tax increase came into effect after the
RCMP project had been tendered. oo,

Council _
continued from page 1
all streets under the city’ s
jurisdiction.
A divisive debate over
the hauling proposal

began in December 1986,

with bench residents ex-
pressing concern over
road safety and pavement
conditions. Bell Pole ar-
gued that the Halliwell
route is the only economi-
cally feasible way to get
timber out of the Kitselas
area, rejecting the options
of removing the logs by

. rail or building a road out-

side the district boun-
daries. The company
stated at that time the
Kitselas timber constituted
about 50 percent of its
allowable cut this year and
denial of access would
seriously restrict its opera-

_ tions.

At the Feb. 23 council
meeting, Ald. George
Clark moved that the pres-
ent load restrictions on
Halliwell remain in place
pending a report from the
city administration ex-
amining alternate routes
for extraction of timber
from the Kitselas area.
The motion drew a three-

- three tie vote, broken by

‘Major Jack Talstra who
. declared himself.in favor.

The signs will stay up on
Halliwell, and council will
deal with the issue again at
a future meeting.

It was pointed out at the
meeting that several in-
terests, including the City
of Terrace, Canadian Na-
tional Railways, Bell Pole,
the Ministry of Forests
and the Kitselas Indian
Band, would be served by

establishment of a road in- |

to the Kitselas area. Ald.
Ruth Hallock indicated

that about two and one
half kilometers of road.
