TERRACE — Ald. Bob Cooper
walked out of. Monday night’s
council meeting saying, ‘‘there is

too much at stake here for so
-few to deal with,”’ effectively en-

ding any further discussion by
council on seeking an injunction
against log hauling on Halliwell
and North Sparks.
Cooper: told council that it
was his understanding that if
logging traffic were banned
from Halliwell, the road would
no longer be considered an arter-
ial road and provincial funding
for re-building the paved por-
tion of the road would be lost.
Acting Mayor Bob Jackman
said that because council no
longer had a quorom, they could
make no decisions and the meet-
ing had come to an end. It then
turned into an informal discus-
sion between Jackman, Ald.
George Clark and Doug Smith,
and residents attending the
meeting.. Mayor Jack Talstra

vincially in enhancing services i

for special-needs children and

their families. ‘¢

He indicated that the increases

commitment to keep families to-
gether and ensure communities
in the province had the resources
to give special-needs children the
opportunity to reach their full
potential.

Lee Kirkaldy took a moment to reminisce recently at Heritage Park after giv-

and Ald. Mo Takhar and Ruth
Hallock were out of town and
did not attend the meeting. —

- Prior to Cooper’s departure,
council considered the advice of

the. city’s solicitors, Lidstone,
-Young, Baker and Anderson of -

Vancouver, who said that be-

"cause of a failure to negotiate an
. agreement with the logging truck

operators in respect to extraor-
dinary traffic on city highways,

“It is mow necessary. to look
beyond the authority the city has -

under section 581 of the Munici-
pal Act regarding the regulation |
of ‘extraordinary traffic’.”’

The solicitors’ recommenda-
tion was that council consider a
resolution under sections. 120
and 211 of the Motor Vehicle,
Act which would limit vehicle
traffic on Halliwell to a gross |
vehicle weight of less than
60,000 pounds: 4 Y
