Moved by Alderman Traboulay:

Seconded by Alderman Laking:

That the Municipal Council of The Corporation of the City of Port

Coquitlam go on record as supporting Mayor T.H. Reid of the City of

North Vancouver in his efforts to have the Executive Committee of the
Greater Vancouver Regional District abolished. Carried.

Alderman Ranger then reported on his attendance at the Housing
Conference in Vancouver.

Alderman Ranger suggested that the Leisure Activities Committee
meet with the developer in an effort to acquire title to proposed park
site on Mary Hill.

Alderman Laking referred to his attendance at the Lower Mainland
Parks Advisory Association meeting last Thursday, and advised that
although the proposal of the Provincial Government to construct an oil

refinery in Surrey was discussed, no decision was made to object to it

as all the details are not as yet known. Alderman Laking also advised

that the Association has requested the Councils of each member municipality

give consideration to sending a representative to the National Parks
Advisory Conference being held this year in Quebec City.

Alderman Laking then inquired when the culvert at the intersection
of Prairie Avenue and Cedar Drive would be installed and the City Engineer
replied that the work will be started next week and completed before
school starts in September; also no road closure is anticipated while
the work is ongoing as one side will be completed before the other is
Started; thus making it possible to provide one-lane traffic at all
times.

Alderman Keryluk referred to the light proposed to be installed
adjacent to the crosswalk at George Pearkes School, and Alderman Mabbett
advised that the Street Lighting Committee would review the matter
again.

Alderman Keryluk referred to the strike action proposed by guards
at prison institutes in an effort to have the Federal Government cease
interfering in the function of the Courts, specifically, those cases in-
volving capital punishment, in view of the fact that several persons so
committed for the killing of police officers and guards are going to have

their sentences commuted, and in answer to his query on whether there is
