even a three year period. I think
it’s going to take a five to ten
year plan, and I'll be very pleas-
ed to see a plan completed so
that we can start to follow it and
get some work done.’’

Mo Takhar simply said that
he has two or three projects in
mind. He hinted that these may
include a second overpass on
Highway 16 for industrial traffic
and a permanent solution to the
controversy that plagued Hal-
liwell residents earlier this year.

“I want to find a long term
solution for Halliwell because I
don’t: really like this permit

system,’’ said Takhar. ‘‘I’d like’

‘to see a long term solution to
hauling logs from Kitselas.’’
Danny Sheridan said he has

He said he didn’t campaign
with a ‘‘whip for change’’, and

wants to ease into the position. -

“IT want to get into city hall
offices and do my own personal
assessment of things,’’ he said.
“But, generally PIl play each
issue as -it comes along.’’-

-Incumbent school trustee Bar-

bara Ross said the first thing she

wants to accomplish is better

relations between the board, the

public and the staff. .
“That's going to be my major

objective,’? explained Ross,

told council he had advised Pen-

demionstrate a financial need,
but a city resolution bans all

over-weight industrial traffic on

North Sparks St. on school days
between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and

Ald. George Clark opposed
the application by pointing out
that one permit had already been

because they had demonstrated

“financial hardship’, but Pen-

ner’s-application failed to show
that any such hardship would be
caused by council’s refusal: to

"We're going to, -have to
negotiate. ‘with, the teachers
reasonably’ ‘soon ‘and I think

- that’s going to make-a big dif-

ference - in.‘ our. -ability . to

Ross said, ‘‘The relationship
that we have with the. teachers
will have a bearing on that and I

think we can avoid a lot of

ugliness if the face across from

She said another issue she is
“quite involved in right now”? is

“What I’ve seen of it ‘Pye.

fact that it covers a lot of things

any reasonable request should

Ald. Mo Takhar agreed with
Cooper, saying it is
“premature” to refuse any

Teasonable requests while coun-

cil is still seeking a permanent
solution.

-Although -Bob | Jackman |.
argued that any discussion on -

log hauling permits should be

-held in open council rather than
in committee, Doug Smith said

he felt comfortable with the
committee system and agreed
that the permit system is a
“‘good interim measure’. Smith

warned, however, that council .
had to be careful not to be plac- | -

Clark accused .council. of ac-
