HOSPITAL FRUSTEE. ELECTIONS:

David Bowen-Colthurst,
Kitimal-Stikine Regiona!
District, Director representing
Electoral Area “C" continued a
crusade launched at the last
Mills Memorial Hospital Board
meeting, al the last meeting of
the Regional -District’ and
received'-the support of the
entire: Board. :

Mr;..Bowen-Colthurat’ has :
called the election of Hospital
Trustees the. most: un-

. democratic system that he has

encountered in-his life. He is
demanding. that
Trustees be elected by the
general. public and. not the

_membership of a closed society.

He deplored the way we are

_hit for taxes for hospital care”

and thien are refused a’ say in
who Wi ‘act for us on: the.
hospital Board. “This is,
taxation without ‘represen-
tation’? he shouted © with
upraised arm. “I don’t stand
for another Boston Tea Party”.

Bowen-Colhurst
Raps Hospital —

he reluctantly stated but "Lam
not. (he only-one. rho favours’
thls system." we

The Director “asked for
support from the Board .in
passing a resolution to write the
Minister of Health, Denis

Cocke, and M.L.A. Hailey Dent .

stating that the taxpayers of.
Terrace and District’ are not
aulomatically \ voters in
Hospital ‘Board elections and
this constitutes a grave breach
of the democratic rights as it is
“taxation without represen-
tation.” .

His resolution reads . as
follows:- Therefore be it
resolyed that the future Boards.
for Mills Memorial Hospital be

- elected under similar rules and

regulations as those governing

_ the election of School Beards.”

The rratter went to the vote

- and all present voted in favour’
of the motion.

Trustee Elections

David’ Bowen- Colhurst, who
represents the Kilimat-Slikine
Regional. District Board on the.
Mills, Memorial Hospital Board
of Trustees, lashed out at the
prevailing method of electing
trustees ta the. Hos; ospital Board
during. last week’s monthly

_ Hospital Board meeting.

Mr. -Bowen-Coihurst has a
way of ‘overwhelming those wha
attend ‘thése meetings giving
the impression ’ that as he ex-
tends his ‘long right’ arm ‘(hat
there is 8 sabre in it and that he
is leading a cavalry charge. -

“Trustee - Bowen-Calhurst .
roared “The system of electing .
trusiess® to’ this" Board is the

mostindemocralic method that
I fave. seen in ‘my lifelime. .

Trustees should be acting. for
the people and should bé elected

‘ THE HERALD, TERRACE, B.C.

Alderman, Richard Green,
who attended the Chamber of
Commerce’s symposium on
Forestry in Vieloria last weet
. : . put his finger on the sore point
which relate to their studies, ~~ .

Part of the summer program in so far as Terrace is con
encourages the development of.
innovative projects so that they

‘be tried ‘on. an ex-
perimental basis, allowing for a
short-term evaluation — of costs

stumpage revenue {o support
logelng bedroom communities
such as Terrace. -

Speaking during this sym-
‘posium Green said that Terrace
and its surrounding area has a
population of between 15, and
18,000 souls with more than 1,500
working _| - in: the logging in-
dusiry. He stated that Terrace
‘collected $40,000 in taxes in 1973
from (wo sawmills while Prince
Rupert with a population | of
15,000-and 1,100/in the logging
industry collected $1,834,000 in
taxes fram the forest industry.

The difference between the
two communities is that Prince
Rupert has two pulp mills with
much higher investment: and
consequently a higher
assessment for the community.

“We are hewers of woad and
the drawers, of water for 90
percent of the people of Brilish
Columbia" Green ‘commented
“Terrace has no: olher in-
dustrial base and it depends
solely on logging, commercial
and. home-awner. taxes.”’

Green insisted - that - there
must be a change so that
municipalities such as Terrace

will. assist. with. seasonal
workloads or perform normal
that . require”
replacements because of staff
vacatians.. The. Minister said
that during last year’s summer
employment program. the -
students: were . extremely

because of their. youthful en-
thusiasm and dedication. “It
was gratifying to learn,” the
Minister said, “that many of
them,. as ‘a result ‘of their
summer ‘work experience,
expressed interest in pursulng
careers in health services.’

The Minister’s annowtcement
contained the following figures
for each branch of the Health
Department:

The _:Hospital Insurance
Service has-been allocated
$1,469,920 to employ .973
