Gentlemen:

Once again a notice has been left on our garbage cans,
advising that the garbage will be picked up as usual
the following monday, being the Thanksgiving Holiday.

I assume this is also the case where a holiday falls on
a day during the week.

Why not do as has been the practise in Burnaby and recently
adopted by District of Coquitlam, namely give the Sanitation
Engineers the day off on these statutory holidays and simply
advance the pick-up day to the next day. I'm quite sure it
will not work nardship on any householder but em confidant
they will all like to save the extra money paid out on over=
time.

It may not amount to much as far as the budget is concerned,
but anything saved to reduce the constant increase in proper-
ty taxes will be welcomed by any preperty owner, and I for
one think our taxes are too high compared to the services
received (cur street for instance is not even paved), so I
would appreciste it if you would take the above suggestion
into consideration at your next opportunity. ;

Yours very truly
