R. HENRY RETURNING OFFICER PACIFIC TRIBUNE—November 10, 1978—Page 2 Vancouver city council was asked Tuesday to declare that improved housing in the downtown eastside was a priority for the city, but the TEAM-NPA majority refused, opting instead to “study” the matter. The Downtown Eastside Residents’ Association appealed to council to throw its support to two proposals from a joint committee on community services and planning and development to Strictly enforce standards of maintenance bylaws and .to ap- prove construction of two new housing projects on Cordova Street. . But in spite of the appeals from DERA’s Bruce Eriksen, from the First United Church and from the B.C. Hotels Association, council turned down the proposal to en- force city bylaws by a vote of seven to two, with Harry Rankin and Darlene Marzari in favor, and rejected the housing projects six to three with only Rankin, Marzari and Bill Gibson in support. Instead council voted to establish a “downtown housing _im- plementation committee to develop and expedite a housing plan for the area.” “More studies, more reports, no action . . .,” Eriksen told the Tribune after the decision, “It is Strictly a political attack on our neighborhood. Not only do they not Support us, they go out of their way to make sure we get nothing. It is the biggest argument I ever saw for a ward system.” Eriksen had earlier presented to council letters from both the federal and provincial govern- ments indicating their willingness to support a housing project at 616 East Cordova proposed by DERA, on the condition that the city declare the project a priority. “It wouldn’t have cost them a cent,” that they agree that the project is a priority.” DERA has proposed that the site at 616 East Cordova, formerly DERA’s. headquarters, be con- verted into a low cost housing development with 93 suites and community facilities. The owners have extended a second option to buy until December, but council’s refusal to go along with the idea pretty well kills the project,. Eriksen said. Council’s refusal to back the project and to call for stricter enforcement of the bylaws was Eriksen said, ‘‘All we asked was — Eriksen calls for housing : policy, but city refuses % DERA officers and COPE candidates Bruce Eriksen Davies had their chances of election strengthened Tuesday by NPA and TEAM city council members jects in the Downtown Eastside. blasted by Rankin who called the decision ‘‘a disgrace to humanity. “You can do all the research you need down there in one hour,” he said. 'A survey by DERA earlier in the year revealed 9,743 bylaw in- fractions in 23 downtown romming houses and hotels, most of which are being ignored by city officials, DERA claimed. “They are all campaigning on housing for senior citizens and with a week to election day we thought they might be moved,” DERA vice-president Libby Davies said, “But another committee to have another study is a phony move.” The decision to commission another study was spearheaded by May Brown who two weeks earlier had toured the downtown eastside with DERA’s Jean Swanson and written an account of the tour in DERA’s newspaper describing the refusal to support housing pro- —Sean Griffin photo conditions as “‘devoid of any social amenities” about which ‘nobody cared’’. “A suitable article for our next issue will be: Nobody cared, including May Brown,” Swanson said after the vote. 5 Council also turned back a request by DERA to speak on behalf of 22 downtown businessmen who wanted to protest the city’s decision to grant an exemption of $250,000 in business taxes. for Burrard Amusements and the B.C. Jockey Club at the P.N.E, New information since March has shown that the exemptions were completely unjustified, Eriksen said. Both Burrard Amusements and the Jockey Club claimed poverty, he said, but both had their rents raised by almost $100,000 this year by the PNE because of the extravagant profits” the companies earned. E. Indians back COPE The East Indian Workers -Association’s Vancouver branch has called on East Indians in Vancouver to turn out for the civic election and to back COPE can- didates and independents Harcourt and Mazari. “Our association has unanimously decided to appeal to all East Indians in Vancouver to make full use of their precious vote on November 15 by voting for COPE candidates and for Harcourt and Mazari,’’ Lachman Deo, EIWA Vancouver president said in a statement this week. “Our Association stands for equal opportunities, a graduated business tax, no shift in taxation to —— PP ‘homeowners or tenants, the combatting of racism in every sphere and support for the .ward system. It is on this basis we support COPE,” he said. In an obvious reference to TEAM aldermanic candidate Setty Pendakur, Deo said, ‘There are a few opportunities and turncoats among East Indians who flirt and hobnob with various groups for their own purposes, but have done nothing for Vancouver in general or East Indians in particular . . . Such persons should not be sup- ported merely for their personality or for the color of their skin. We are for principles and policies which are in the interests of the masses.” Jean Swanson leads a group of COPE candidates and members in a candidates parade through Van- couver’s Chinatown last Sunday. About 1,500 members of the Chinese community turned out to hear candidates’ positions’ on the ward system and the controversial barbequed pork issue — Vision Works photo : a
