‘Parking Officer

Could Be Rough

Some forty Interested citizens
attending last Monday's
Stalutory meeting of City
Council left with some ap-
prehension as to ihe true func-
lion of the city's new ticket
officer.

Council approved an
agreement with Pacific,
Securily Agencies Company
turning over the parking en-
forcement by-laws to an officer
in the employ of that firm. What

disturbed some of the people at
lendance was the fact thal this

_ employee is first of all referred

to as @ Traffic Officer and the.
second was that this person or’
persons will be carrying a baton

and handcuffs.

The Herald checked with the
N.C.O. i-c of the Terrace
Detachment Staff Sergeant Ron
Woolger and we were assured
thal this’ person or persons
would only be involved with
parking violations and will not
‘be. responsible. for traffic
‘control. Secondly it would
appear. (hat we will still have

_ he option of paying the regular

fines for traffic viclations and
the fact that these’ parking
officers carry.a:“‘shillelagh” or
the
agreement and handcuffs does
not mean that a’ person caught

“parking {oo long will be belted

about the head and dragged off
* handcuffed to the police station.
‘Jt was'explaincd to the writer ,
that” this is part of the per-
missable equipment allowed by
-the | Attorney . General's
Department, and since these
officers can be used in ather

: protective capacities they can

carry this persuasive gear only.
oll is nat required, despite

. ‘Glause5 of the agreement, to be

carried by parking inforcement
officers.. In fact it is quite
possible that the person em-
ployed in this capaily could bea
woman as is the case in
Kitimat. ‘
“ Since the general public’ has.
became accustomed to more or
jess free parking in the com-
‘munity, Council has decided to
advertise the signing of this

- agreement, warning cilizens .

that “it-is once again illegal to
park. in-certain areas or for
certain lengths of time or at
specific hours. Mayor Gordon
Rowland felt’ that it was not

: necessary. io. advertise _ that
- existing ta
‘“antareed but’ the Council felt
eotbabsdhe warning was fair in
view of tne fact that the by-laws

ws were going to be

last. December, All aldermen

A Sad Day for B.C.

‘Terrace that yesterday's
Federal Cabinet shuffle was
blatantly discriminatory

Mr. Howard said, ‘The

Provinces wilh only three
representatives in the Federal
Cabinet and B.C, with only one.
Once again Mr. Trudeau has
shown that he considers the

significant in his scheme of

“1 know," said Mr. Howard,

no administrative function, na
policy making decisions to

“make and no authority except ta

Perrault is really an agent of
Prime Minister Trudeau and
not a representative from B.C,”

“Yesterday was a sad day for

time that Prime Minister

Trudeau has had very liltle time

people of B.C. will get that
