Shelford, MLA The big news from Vic- toria this week was the amendment by the Op- sition to the Budget. This lebate lasted three days with many speakers taking art. Unfortunately very ew new ideas came out of the debate. Many speakers from the lower mainland spoke at length over ferry increases, bus increases, etc. destroying the tourist in- dustry. I don’t accept this argument as the tourist industry has suffered in areas where no ferry is involved. The reason for this decrease is simply there is- less money - available for people in the United States to travel in Canada. Part of -the answer to this is high energy costs which greatly increase the cost of heating homes and travel. As to the ferry rate increase or other Pacific Northern - Gas dividend Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. reported that the company's earnings for 1976 before payment of preferred dividends were $1,566,198 © compared to $909,983 for 1975, After rovision for preferred dividends in the amount of $337,500 the earnings per common share for 1976 were 97¢ compared with 48c per common share. in 1975. Gas sales revenue for 1976 was $15,428,541, an inerease of °$3,358,172 over the 1975 sales revenue. The increase in earnings per common share from 48 cents to 87 cents is distorted because in 1975 the com- pany’s major customers were shut down by a 92-da strike in’ the . Britis Columbia forest industry. . Bank reduces rates Toronto Dominion Bank announced February 1, 1977 a reduction in its prime lending rate of one half per cent to 8% percent, effective . Tuesday, February 1, 1977. At the same time, the rate for non-chequing savings accounts was reduced by one-half of one percent to 6% percent, also effective immediately. The bank’s mortgage rates were also reduced one half percent effective im- mediately. The new con- ventional mortgage rate is 10% percent and the National Housing Act rate is 10 percent. A bank ‘spokesman said the changes followed the announcement by the Bank of Canada of a reduction in the bank rate of one half percent to 8 percent. t In-Store Treat your Decorated Heart-Shaped Cake, VALENTINE’S DAY | 49 Feb. 11, 12, 14 Valentine's Day - g§ coe toa al ony Monday, February 14th, Terrace PHONE 635-6247 jncreases, the issue is simple. You either have to charge enough to cover cost of operation or subsidize the rates by genera) taxes. If this is done then people not using the service also pay. The same is true in LC.B.c. rates. Many members wanted to see the system subsidized by general taxation partly by people that don’t drive, I'm sure most people will agree this is not fair and the user should pay. It is quite is a hold-the-line budget which I think is realistic at this time, with the un- certainty of the economic - climate. I'm convinced this uncertainty will last until the federal and provincial governments lay out clear- cut economic guidelines and hold inflation at less than 6% percent maximum. If this is not done, more and more of our people will be unem- ployed. An increase of 10 cent and 15 percent in - inflation will. mean a further three or. four percent of our _ " workers .will be uneni- ployed. Unfortunately not many people accept this and so far governments haven't shown strength in restraint. Infact, so far no democratic overnment in any country 8 proved it can cope wit! inflation which is simply | legal: robbery of those on pensions and fixed incomes. We all should'be well aware that an increase in prices and wages means a. lower standard of living for those people on fixed incomes, -mainly the older people that built this country and well deserve a comfortable standard ef living.
