Alderman Keryluk then advised of a complaint he had received that a
number of gravel trucks passing through the City lately have apparently been
poorly loaded with the result that gravel is sprayed onto the roads in turn-
ing corners, etc., and he suggested that this be investigated.

Alderman Traboulay referred to a letter received from the Mary Hill
Community & Ratepayers Association under date of March 15th, 1976,

acquired in that area were used elsewhere, and in answer to his query,

Alderman Ranger advised the funds were used for the tennis courts on
Patricia Avenue.

Alderman Traboulay inquired as to the possibility of acquiring the
services of planners from the Advisory Committee of the G.V.R.D. Livable
Regional Program to assist the Planning & Zoning Committee in its studies
on the area South of Kingsway West of the Coquitlam River, and Mayor
Campbell advised he would check to see if this could be arranged.

Alderman Traboulay referred to a letter from the Friends of the
Library inviting his attendance at a meeting on the "precarious" position
of the Library, and to his query, Alderman Ranger advised that this
meeting is scheduled for April 7th, 1976 in the Hyde Creek Centre at
