LPP scores 10-cent meter proposal Urges 5-cent parking lot charges Dime parking meters will “do nothing to solve the present park- ing problem in Vancouver, and -will only penalize the public,” LPP! city secretary Maurice Rush said | this week in a letter sent to Van- couver City Council. . The question of boosting the one-hour parking meter rate from’ 5 to 10 cents was to be voted on by council on March 22. “According to press reason given for the higher park- ing rate is that it will enable the city to accumulate funds to ac- OVALTINE CAFE 251 EAST HASTINGS Vancouver, B.C.

These lots could be operat- ed by the city for street level parking and later used for mul- tiple level parking if the need should arise.

We would strongly urge that future lots acquired by the city for parking purposes be op- erated on that basis. “An additional proposal we would like to submit at this time is that Downtown Parking Cor- poration lots “be opened in the evening for use by citizens in dis- trices where parking is a problem at night.” Mine-Mill asks 10 cents TRAIL, B.C.

All proceeds from the meeting will be sent to the Civil Liberties Union in Montreal, which is carrying an appeal against the Padlock Law to the Supreme Court of Canada. \ Fishermen will seek coverage Workers’ Union will recommesd — to those of its members who have not previously been covered by Workmen’s Compensation that they apply for coverage under the plan outlined by Labor Minister Lyle Wicks last week. The union will make every effort to provide the necessary i formation to those fishermen wi? will now be permitted to apply for compensation coverage on 2% a individual, optional basis. At the same time, the UFAWU — will continue to press for emacte ment of its original proposals which would bring all genuime | commercial fishermen under the protection of. the Compensation Act on the same basis as other workmen. “We regard the present govers- ment plan as inadequate but it is much better than nothing, at all,” said Homer Stevens, union ey tary. ‘Its enactment is a recognition of the importance of the problem and of our efforts to solve it. We are confident that further study and experience will convince the remaining sceptics of the merits of our plan. “The suggestion that we who fish for a living are independent busi- nessmen rather than workmen 35 resented by our members. Fishel 'men are workmen in fact and not rest content until that is fully ~ recognized under the Compensa- tion Act.” The UFAWU convention, which opens next week, will review dé velopments in the field of compel sation coverage and determine fu ture union policy, CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING | A charge of 50 cents for each insertion of five lines or less with 10 cents for each additional line is made for notices appearing in this column.
