The wire reads: ‘ This Department wishes. to register ebjection to erection of shed- provincial residences, Williams Lake, and petitions that these lots remain residential.” ‘Tm answer to the wire, a letter Prepared by village solicito: Lee Skipp. was approved for iransmission, The letter reads: “With respect to your tele- gram with regard to the erection ot a shed-type curling rink ad- acent to the provincial’ resi< ences, we have considered your objection at length and we would like to state the position as we Bee it. CONSIDERED EFFECT “First of all we considered the effect of this building upon the neighboring residences at length before we ever enter- tained the idea of issuing a permit, Some residents of the “area were petitioned and they expressed po objection. The main point here however, is that we had the plans submitted to us and in our opinion the build- ing has quite an acceptable out- side appearance and we feel that it would be a definite asset to - the neighborhood, “The next point we would like to make is that at the meeting at which we passed this plan and voted to issue the per- mit, no opposition was ex- pressed. The petition opposing it was presented at the next Meeting. In other words, the council] would now have to Teyerse or cancel a permit it had given. There is no zoning by- jaw in Williams Lake at the present time. Therefore the matter would seem to fall under the building by-law. Section 59 of the Building By- low reads as follows: Upon receipt of a petition signed by not less than three- ffths of the owners of lots or real property abutting or fronting on or upon any streets, and situate between ROODIIOLI SII r eens Flu Cuts School Hf. lock erection of a curling rink ired at last night's commission two intersecting streets with- in the Village of Williams Lake, designated particularly in such petition, the Village Commissions. may, by by-law or resolution, prohibit the erection of qny, building on or upon such streét or part there- of, so specified in such peti tion, and designated in such by-law or resolution. NOT A NUISANCE “As you will note, the words are that the Village Commis- sioners may by by-law or resolu- tion prohibit me erection of any building As stated in the fletter, we gave the matter serious consideration before issuing the permit in the first instance. Secondly, we have no idea why objection was taken to erection of this building on these lots. Curling cannot be said to be a sport which is noisy or in any way a nuisance. The building as shown on the plans when finished will be the equal of any other building in Williams Lake. “Our position now is that we have granted the permit for the building to be erected and in doing so we considered the matter very carefully. At no| time has anyone attended upon} our meeting expressing objection to this permit being granted so we now fee] that we do not wish to exercise our jurisdiction under Section 59 to prohibit erection of this building.” COMPANY INCORPORATION Among company incorpations recently listed in the B.C.

Bulk of the cost will be underwritten by grants from the Provincial and Federal goyern- ments if the project is approved by the Department of Health and Welfare. It has heen estimated that these grants could amount to 67 per cent of the cost, In addition to this, two volun- teer health agencies have already indicated that their grants will be available, bringing total grant figures up to around 84 per cent. There are still three major health agencies that have not been contacted. Tn actual local money, it is anticipated the club ‘will only have to raise around $1,500, The village itself may be expected 10 make a grant of x-tree iand for the centre, When the structure is com- pleted, title will he turned over to the village and the only future cost to this governing body will be that necessary for Sundays.

He described their work in maternal and child programs, of providing immunization ser- vice for: the child from the time of infancy to school age. The units also provide special treatment service for tuber- culosis and venereal disease. At present the Cariboo Health Unit's sub-offices at Quesnel and Williams Lake are hopelessly inadequate, the director asserted. At Quesnel the office consists of a single partitioned room, and at Williams Lake two rooms are used, z Following the’ talk on the work of the health unit, and the vote on the project, Kiwanis president Joe~Borkowski said a committee would be appointed next week to-start the organiza- tional work. Housewife Suffers Painful Burns In Home Accident Mrs. Bill Dingwall of 127 Mile House had a narrow escape early Jast- Saturday” morning when a container being used to till a kerosene refrigerator ex- ploded, hurling her across the kiteben of her shome. The flaming liquid sprayed on her face and ignited her hair, but she managed to beat out the flames with her hand. Only other occupant of the house at the time was Mrs. Dingwall’s sister, Mrs. Tom -Downey of Vancouver, who rushed down- slairs when she heard cries for help. She immediately picked up a small rug and managed to smother the flaming container before the fire engulfed the kit- chen. Mr. Dingwall was away at a distant meadow haying at the time and his wife had to drive to. Williams Lake for medical attention. Mrs. Downey -was visiting her sister. Her husband had travelled farther north on a fishing trip. Mrs. Dingwall sustained pain- ful burns to her face and left hand in the accident. It is believed some gasoline had been placed by mistake in the container that normally holds kerosene for the fridge. Mrs. Dingwall says she has used the can many times in the past and never gave it a thought that it might contain other than the usual kerosene when she pick- ed it up.
