Prior to passage of tu: foregoing resolution, Alderman Traboulay drew atten-

tion to listing No. 6222 in the November 4th, 1973 Statement concerning the sum of

$4,213.68 to the Greater Vancouver Regional District for debt repayment, and stated
his view that the District should submit full details of its Provisional Budget, in-
cluding salaries, pulldings, stipends paid to the Chairman,etc.,to the Council.
Alderman Ranger stated he felt Alderman Traboulay had misconstrued the reason for

for borrowing. Alderman Traboulay stated he was trying to point out that the Dis-
trict is a body responsible to the public, and that it should inform the Council in

order that the Council can, in turn, inform the public, on what is being done with

funds paid to it.
