seems to know a great deal
about the proposed
establishment of a furniture

Apparently plans for the
factory are being held up”

Council is presently
discussing the availability
of industrial land and the
potential acquisition of
additional industrial land.

Council decided to write to
the provincial government
protesting the increase in
ferry rates, ds these rates
are seriously hampering
tourism in this northern
area and the support [or this
position will be solicited
from the other northern
communities.

Council instructed the
administration . to in-
vestigate the feasibility and
costs af erecting “Welcome .

Alderman Dave Maroney
said the area on Lazelle

of the Regional District of
Kitimat-Slikine and the Post

said there was even a

Military search for missing aireraft

in Terrace area continuing

The search continues for a
light plane with four
passengers that disap-
peared after leaving Prince
George in the early af-
ternoon of Monday, August
2. The plane, a single-engine
Piper Comanche, was on a
flight to Prince Rupert with
four American visitors
aboard. Little else will be
known until details are
released, bul their plans

. seems to have been to fly

eventually to Ketchikan
alter the stopover in Prince

, Rupert.

The plane left Prince
George at 1 p.m. Monday
with an estimated flving
time to Prince Rupert ai 2'y
hours. When the plane failed
fo appear an hour or two
after the expected arrival

and the anti-litter by-law
should be enforced to keep
the streets of Terrace
cleaner. :

“There have been com-
plaints about garbage in this
-community for the last 10
years .... it's time we went
after these people. There is
no reason why the mer-
chants should have to keep
cleaning up after them.”
He added there have been
arbage cans. along the
street bul these have been

--uprooted.--Both the RCMB-«
and municipal staff have the -

power to enforce the anti-
litter by-law.

“Part of the beauty of this
area is created by. trees ....
therefore because of the

aesthetic value to Terrace, °

the trees should be
preserved in all, future
building and plarning in the
area. This is especially
applicable on Kalum Street
and Park Avenue, now
‘commercially zoned ....
there are
beautiful groupings of trees
along these streetb,”’
Alderman Mary Little said
Monday. .
“Therefore 1 move that
the administration draft a

by-law regulating the
removal of trees by
developers from the

perimeter of land parcels to
be developed within the
municipality. The by-law
shall be submitted to the
parks and recreation
committee for review,” she

. said.

Council passed the mation
but Wayne Buchanan, clerk-
administrator, has said
there may be no provision in
the municipal act to make
such a by-law. _

Little said the by-law

would .only serve to en-..,

courage developers and
private planners to consider
the trees when they are
building future shopping
centres and office buildings.

Alderman Gerry Duffus,
who has ‘been concerned
lately about unsightly car
wrecks in people's yards,
told council Monday there

ae

was a by-law passed in 1966
which permits the

to clean them up. He added
the wrecked car situation is
getting worse instead- of
better.

Duffus, who is up for re-
election ‘November 20
during the muncipal elec-
tions, has reminded
residents once again they

Two steps are taken in the
search for any missing
aircraft. The first is lo
contact all airports and
flight centres along the
plane's roule to see if a

any of them. In the event of
this being unsuccessful, the
second step is tosearch for a
signal from the plane’s ELT
(Emergency Locator
Transmitter — a small
device which sends up
automatic signals and acls
as a beacon if the plane is
forced down. ‘It ¢an be
picked up as fay away as MW
