Call for
halt on
new lots

NO LARGE new subdivisions
should be approved for Thornhill
until water. and sewer sysiem
plans are in place and a
referendum on restructuring held,
says a Terrace director to, the
Kitimat-Stikine regional district.

David Hull was one a minority
of directors who voted against ap-
proval of the Farkvam sub-
division at the board’s June 24
meeting. .

Farkvam proposes an 82 lot de-
velopment between Hasland and
Clore Avenues in the Copper
Mountain Estates, He has also
given’a verbal undertaking to in-
stall sewer lines that could be
eonnected to a Thornhill system
at some future date, The board
decided to recommend the sub-
division be allowed to proceed
once it has that in writing,

‘While conceding: the dry line
sewer is a good idea, Hull pointed
out people building on these Jots
would still have to install septic
systems,

And, having spent money on
those systems, “how do you then
convince them to spend more
money to hook up to a com-
munity system,’ he asked,

Although the septic systems
would eventually fail, Hull said it
was unlikely they'd all go at the |
same time so it would be im-
possible to ever get consensus on
the hook-up,

He also noted that at a time the
city was working to eliminate its
remaining drainage ditches, open
ditches would be a feature of the
sub-division,

Compare that to’ the city’s
regulations regarding new sub-
divisions and Hull wamed there
was a danger Thornhill would be
“the poor sister of Terrace
forever.”

And with the uncertainty sur-
rounding the Jocal government
restructuring question, Hull. said
it.only made sense to hold back
on sub-divisions such aa this until

- Hospital gets cut back

ON.PAPER it sounds as if Mills Memorial Hospital did reoeive a:
budget increase — .2 per cent or $21,000 — this year over last. ©

In reality, its budget was cut because 1996 is a leap year and the
$21,000 isn’t enough to cover that extra day of operations, «.-.

“Tt costs us $34,000 a day (to run the hospital),”’ said Mills offi.
cial Michael Leisinger last week, ‘“We’ve actually been cut by!
$13,000, So in reality I.can say that this is the fourth year in a Tow.
Mills has had zero budget increases or been cut.” —

The hospital’s financiat year runs April:1 to March 31, seaniag *
that Feb, 29,1996 comes within that 12-month perlod: © |.

Those budget freezes have been accompanied by'a gracual reduc. :
tion in the number of beds at the hospital, From 89 at the start, at the
decade, the hospital how has 32 beds.

Police have suspects in one-third of the 325, unsolved. ade. ;
