equipment at Terrace Kitimat airport

Mayor Lloyd Johnstone has
& directed a letter to the Minister
of Transport, Donald ‘'Don”
Jamieson, requesting that
& serious consideration be given
to the allocation of necessary
funds, for the installation of ©
E-equipment at the ‘Terrace-"
.Kitimat airport to improve
the landing frequency of CPAir
‘jets, especially during the’
¥ winter months.
CP. Air, which services this
I area schedules daily in and out
flights to and.from Vancouver. -
However this frequency is
severely hampered during
& inclement weather. As many as
g three consecutive flights have

“We will conduct this campaign in

been cancelled leaving &@ con
siderable backlog of passengers
stranded.

Numerous meetings have
taken place with .represen-
tatives of the various com-
munities served by the Airport

- and representatives of C.P. Air

and the Ministry of Transport in
order to resolve this problem.

In this connection Mr, W.S.
Roxborough, C.P. Air, Director
of Flight Operations has written

.to Mr. W.S. McLeish, Director

General of | Civil . Aviation : in
which he gives in detail the

‘result of studies made by C. P.!

Air jointly with the Ministry of
Transport. .

These investigations were
carried out following a series of
meetings with the Joint
Terrace-Kitimat Airport
Committee. during which C.P.
Air was asked if some metho d
could be found to imiprove the
flight frequency. - -~

Mr.. Roxborough. included
with his letter fo Mr. McLeish a
Yecord showing B-737 arrivals
which is plotted against actual
scheduled arrivals, This record
shows clearly where the

limitations are the greatest and.

also indicates what the ex-
pected improvement would .be

gM.P. Frank Howard indicated
that the campaign for the

basically in terms of the voter's

The incumbent made it quite
clear that he will be conducting |
his own campaign with a very
slow start: Mr. Howard said
with the provincial fight just
concluded the voters are tired of
political. advertising ~ and

promotions. He said that for the
first few weeks of the campaign
he will not advertise, will not
‘ engage in any promotion and
will keep a public statement to

a minimum in order to ‘give .

_ people a_ little ‘respite from
political pressures.

Mr. Howard reported that a
party caucus: wds held in Ot-
tawa while the members were
sitting around waiting for
- disolution, which ‘became ‘ob-
‘vious during the day, He said
‘that the general theme of the
campaign would revolye around

David Lewis -has -kept-.on

national press headlines for the.

_More facts and figures will be

A great deal of work was done
by .the Airways Section of the

proposals and it was resolved ©

that the following would improve

the landing situation so that
minimums of 800 feet and 2

anything practical could be
done to improve the landing

Mr. Roxborough continues in
his letter by outlinin g what is

The Editor

The next regular Muhicipat Council meeting will take place in
the Council Chambers on Monday Seplember 21 with Mayor
_ Lloyd Johnstone opening business at 7:30 p.m. 7

Avery important session to be attended by representatives of
the Municipal District of Terrace will be the. Union of British
Columbia Municipalities Convention which will be held in the
Vancouver Hotel, Vancouver on September 13, 14 and 15. The
. Mayor, Lloyd Johnstone, Aldermen E.A. Cooper, LC, Mac-
Donald, D. Maroney, along with City Administrator Jack Hardy
‘have been delegated to represent the municipality on this oc-
casion.

The Terrace delegation will be charged ‘vith tabling a very
important resolution during the session, Our representatives
will, through this resolution attempt to have the provincial
government adjust grants lo municipal governments for
general and other purposes.

Mayor Johnstone considers it of extreme importance that the
Union adopt and support this-resolution for the benefit of local
governments such as Terrace which sees millions of dollars of
natural resources trucked and trained out of this sector only to
pass through town on the way to processing plants at Prince
Rupert, and elsewhere.

The problem in this municipality touches primarily on the
timber harvest with miles of timber going through with no
laxation from industrial use of this timber. accuring to the city
offers. There is a marginal tax revenue indirectly, of course,
from the wage-owners in the orest industry but this is nowhere

‘near the tax potential of large processing plants in the com-

munity. Mineral exploitation to'the north could add to this
_Broblem.. with -copper coming through Terrace to refineries
