Your Worship and Members of Council:

Re: Mary Hill By-pass

We are enclosing For your information, a copy of our letter to Mr.
Fraser, Minister of Highways and Public Works, as well as copies of
letters to Messrs. George Kerster, M.L.A. and George Mussallem,M.L.A.

There is a growing body of thought urging contact be made with a
broad strata of Cabinet and Premier Bennett to assure a high priority
for the Mary Hill By-pass and adequate provision in the 1978-79 Highway
Estimates. ‘

Due to the shortness of time, it may now be desirable that a special
effort be made to draw strong attention to Government of the urgent need
and special regional benefits from early completion of the Mary Hill By-
pass.

Your favourable consideration and a strong regional response may
well assure earlier and wider action on the part of Government.

From time to time, there have been several suggestions from North
Shore Fraser municipalities that regional meetings of the six municipalities
in conjuction with representatives of industry take place on a somewhat
regular basis. As our last such conference was considered to be highly

_ productive, should another such meeting be desirable, we would be pleased

to assist. Your guidance and suggestions are welcome.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Yours very truly,

UA Crerae?
