BURNABY COUNCIL OKAYS
VIL MONOPOLY PLANS—BUT?

An environmental hazard

By MABEL RICHARDS

Burnaby Council on Monday gave permission to
Chevron-Standard Oil to modernize and expand their
refinery on Burrard Inlet despite the protests of a
large section of North Burnaby residents.

At the same time council members endorsed a
motion to look into the regulations governing oil
company permits with a view to prohibit any further
expansion of such industries in the Burnaby area.
Dozens of citizens packed the

council chambers to protest

granting the permit for the
expansion. Submissions from

application for expansion was
made public.

exposed to the world, the Nixon administration | has been presented:
by the Vietnamese with the opportunity “to get out of the war now: an
opportunity its emmisaries has so far failed to grasp, as evidenced by
their studied stalling and ‘rejection’.
