: Appeal fails to save

old police building

TERRACE — With the final
adoption of a bylaw to remove
the heritage status on the B.C.

Provincial Police building only.

minutes away. Monday evening,
Mamie Kerby of the Terrace
Museum Society made an appeal
to council for a little more time
to consider the building’s fate in
light of new information she had
found. However, when the final
vote was cast, the bylaw passed
and the building is no longer
protected from demolition.
_According to Kerby, a book
she. had recently discovered,
‘B.C. Provincial Police
Stories’’,: written by Inspector

Cecil Clark, formerly. the Com-
mander of “E’’ Division, B.C.
Provincial Police in Vancouver,
outlines.the history of about 100
facilities similar to’ that in Ter-

race which have since been |

demolished. _ ”
“‘Very few people realize the
importance of these buildings,”’
said Kerby. ‘‘And who knows
how many are left.’? She told
council she had seen’ one at Soda
Creek while holidaying in the
central interior recently, but ad-
ded that it was in a “trun down
condition and ready to slide off
the side of a mud hill.” :

TERRACE — A letter from In-
terior University Society presi-
dent, Murray Sadler, asking
support for the northern univer-
sity concept has received the
unanimous approval of city
council,

According to Sadler, volume
two of the society’s study will be
released this Saturday.

Council has asked administra-
tion to write a letter of support
immediately and has also refer-
red Sadler’s letter to a Commit-
tee of the Whole meeting, where
the idea can be more fully ex-
plored and a more comprehen-
sive letter of support written in a.
few weeks time.

Mayor Jack Talstra told coun-
cil that during the Union of B.C. °
Municipalities meeting’ at
Whistler Mountain last week, he.
mentioned to provincial officials
that Terrace council fully en-
dorsed the concept and also that
land may be available ‘‘adjacent
to the (Northwest Community)
college campus’’ for the
development of a new regional
university facility. He said his
comments had been well receiv-
ed.
