such 4 revamping of the core is ‘‘easy to plan, but

core through funds collected mostly from downtown the whole business licence revenue

would be ideal.

“We collect $70,000 a year in business licence

closely scrutinized before any business licence
revenues are channelled into beautifucation plans.”

Al Purschke, chairman of the tourism and industrial
development committee is also concerned with the
appearance of the downtown core during the
Christmas season,

“It ig a fact that Terrace is the only city I know of
that doesn't dress itself dn apecial occasions,” he said.
“Ttis absolutely dumb that we cannot put on some sort
of show for a few occasions such as Christmas.”

Purschke added that any beautification plan should
take seasonal decorations as a priority. He said it:
would not be difficult to purchase lights to string
across the atreet during the holiday season, or
decorate a few trees. He wondered what touriats
coming to Terrace think about the town with its ab-
sence of Christmas decorations.

claimed for another term as mayor Monday.

Maroney was confirmed for another term
when no one else filed nomination papers in the

“Te Ls certainly a vote of confidence from the
electorate," he said. “It goes to show that both
myself and my council have done something the
last couple of years, there have been no major

Maroney said it was “very encouraging’’ to
find seven candidates contesting the three

The mayor indicated Items such as con-
