The original concept for recreational cost sharing was introduced in the falt of 1973. With the high con- 1 centration of population in \ the Thornhill area, it was felt thal the operating cost for District of Terrace reerealional facilities should be apportioned between Thornhill and the District of Terrace. In the fall of 1975 Thornhill became a separate area denoled as area FE. wilh the balance or the original area remaining as area C. . 2, As the name implies, a benefitting area, which may be any area (i.e. two blocks or several square miles), is an area in which the residents receive a benefit froma special taxation levy. It is our contention that the ‘ residents of the Lakelse area do not receive any mercial.
