rach Tone wm er ren ane a tgaNy AB neat Council UPS pay CITY COUNCILLORS voted themselves a three-per-cent Pay increase at their Nov, 14 council mecting. They voted unanimously, Without debate, on the issue. The decision had been made behind closed doors at an in- camera commiltee mecting on Nov, 7. The mayor will now be paid an annual wage of $20,256.30 plus a $6,752.10 expense al- lowance. Each councillor will now receive 38,830.12 plus a $2,943.37 expense allowance. Council also voted to make the pay increases retroactive to Jan, 1, 1994, The decision was based on the three per cent increase in 1993 of the Vancouver Con- sumer Price Index. It was also based on a report from administration on pay given clected officials at other city councils in the province. The issue of councillors’ pay had been tabled since Jan- uary. Council usually defers decisions on their own pay until negotiations with other city employees have been seltled, stuck moles beginning to upset city officials MECHANICAL MOLES are get- ting lost under city streets and the hassle of rescuing them is starting to tick off city councillors. The latest incident happened in carly November when a Pacific Northern Gas drilling mole, or “gopher”, got stuck bencath Gordon Drive and new pavement there had to be dug up to retrieve it. The gas utility’s mole — a pneumatic drilling © device powered by compressed air — is used to excavate a tunnel for nat- ural gas lines, “The pavement’s hardly cold and somebody’s up there digging it up,’’ councillor Gordon Hull said at last week’s city council meeting. Patched road portions often sink, creating a permanent speed bump ona relatively new street. “You can never paich it as well as the original pavement,” he ex- plained. “T have no problem digging up older = strects that’ = have deterioriated,’’? Hull added, ‘*But not ones that have just been very Sunday Now at the Terrace Inn Starting Nov. 20, 1994 Enjoy the variety of breakfast and luncheon. specials Adults - $10.95 Seniors - $7.95 Wer oorinstieee From fen to 2 pm Also enjoy a Desert table with assorted finger cakes, fresh fruit, jello, pudding, ete.

The incidents have all been ac- cidental, but the city is going to demand an improved success rate in the future, ; City administrator Bob Hallsor said administration has met with Pacific Northern Gas and told them if a mole loses its bearings under a new cily street again, “‘they leave it in the ground.”* Pacific Northern Gas operations manager Wayne Epp says the boring devices cost $8,000 to $12,000 each. “Tt’s ludicrous for them to ex- pect us lo leave a piece of equip- ment like that sitting underneath ’ the road,’’ Epp said, He says the mole has a digging success rate of about 95 per cent. “They can be diverted by a rock or some obstruction that you TERRACE Post Colonial Literature. {African Fiction) Tuas. & Thurs, 12:30 - 2 day ; The University of Norlhern British Columbia winter semester commences the week of January 9, 1995, = Aaumber of courses will be ollered face-to-face, by teleconference, or by video teleconference.
