APR 12 1976 VICTORIA VBV IX4 PROVINGE OF my Ey cour April 2, 1976. Mayor J. M. Campbell City of Port Coquitlam 2272 McAllister Avenue Port Coquitlam, B. C. V3C 2A8 Dear Mayor Cawpbeli: The attached cheque in the amount of $17,781.00 represents payment of an outstanding commitment of the former administration which was made in the Legislature on April 29, 1974 (Hansard page 2606). When the Provincial Government assumed the administration of the court facilities in 1974, a number of municipalities suffered a financial loss with the removal of fines as a source of municipal revenue. The new Government, as it has in many other matters, is honouring this commitment made, but not concluded, by the former Government. The calculated loss is based on the net annual revenue from this source fer tha year immediately preceding the takeover and re~ flects rental revenue received from municipally-owned facilities. The payment of this:grant cannot be construed as an indication that there will be a continuation of this assistance. Sinserely, Hugh A. Curtis Minister Encl. c.c. Mr. George H. Kerster M.L.A.
