crease from 402 to 60% and, therefore, will be subsidized to a greater ex-

that municipalities within the: Greater Vancouver Regional District, which -
includes Port Coquitlam, pay an equitable share of costs for sewer , water, eos
and other services, and stated his: view. that the’ Telephone Company should
treat the: Lower Mainland in a similar way, that is, as a whole area and not —

as separate municipalities.
