We've got seat

in Manitoba

Terrace has a rather unique
situation.

You might say it’s got a seat
in the Manitoba legislature,
. Aconservative one, at that.

And all because one man’s
vote might tip the scales on a
motion. .

The man? Jack Hardy, the
Municipality of Terrace’s
clerk-administrator.

» He's been a sitting member
of the Manitoba legislature for
the past several years. And he
intends to continue to

+ Tepresent. the-people“of-- his:
constituency, St.- Vital, a
Winnipeg suburb until the end
of the session. ;

terfere with his job here,
squashing rumors that - he
planned to resign as ad-
ministrator.

Earlier, Hardy submitted
his intent to resign to the
government of Manitoba. Last
week he telegrammed the
government to announce he’s
keeping his seat.

“It is my intention to go
back and sit in the house on a
limited commuter basis,"
Hardy said.

How's he going to manage
the trick?

“The flying machine is a
pretty good invention,” he
replied “No problem at all.”
- 48 a Manitoba MLA, Hardy
receives $7,200 which wil] help
defray expenses.

- Hardy has informed council
of his intentions.

Mayor Victor Jolliffe was
unavailable for comment, but,

speaking for himself, Alder-

legislature!

+ But, he says, it yon't im-—

man Lloyd Johnstone said,
“What Mr, Hardy does with
his spare dime is nobusiness of
ours,”’

Johnstone said that as far as
he was concerned, Hardy can
handle both jobs. He pointed
out that Hardy often works
overtime and attends
meetings which last long into
the night.

Hardy sald he plans to fly
out to Winnipeg for 2 days tor
the opening of the legislature
there. Whenever an important

.yote comes up, he added, he'll
hop the Tastest jek" vote, and
be ‘back in.Terrace in'no time

‘I want to make it clear that
myself and my whole family
like Terrace and we Intend on
spending a long, long time
here.” Hardy said.

At the present time, the
NDP government of Manitoba

has 28 members, The con-
Servatives have 24, ‘the
liberals, three and there is one
vacant seat.

He cited one issue where his
vote might conceivably defeat
a government move and that
‘ssue is a motion to totally
amalgamate Metro Winnipeg
with all its suburbs, His party
is agianst this motion.

Hardy himself was mayor of
St. Vital for six years, and
alderman for four years
earlier. .

“I want to make it perfectly
clear,” he said, “that this
situation willnot affect my job
here in Terrace."

He indicated he would be in
Winnipeg one or two days at
the most.
