Alderman Ranger spoke to the above-noted By-law, stating he was
pleased to see the budget concluded after many hours of deliberation,
and. pointing out that some of the highlights include the City's share of
the Lougheed Highway drainage and lighting, Phase I of the downtown
street lighting improvements, etc. Alderman Laking mentioned monies
were also allocated for a storm drain on Kingsway Avenue, and that there
was only a 6% increase in this year's budget over that for 1976. Alderman
Traboulay referred to past criticism regarding Council's lack of an
agressive approach to the Industrial area, and stated he felt its commitment
of $50,000.00 therefore was significant. Acting-Mayor Alderman Thompson
expressed appreciation to the Administrative Staff, and particularly to
the City Treasurer, for assisting in the preparation of the Budget.
‘Alderman Mabbett stated he felt the City had made great strides ~
particularly with respect to works on the Lougheed Highway, the sidewalk

from Shaughnessy Street to Hastings Street, and the upgrading of Chester
