Why have Terrace municipal employees “been
instructed to conceal copies of two existing bylaws: a

oe

The Herald asked Terrace council members for. |

their comments. Three

of the six aldermen were:

not available for comment before press time. -~ —

Alderman [an MacDonald .

said he did not know why the
municipality concealed the
bylaws. After first reading of a
bylaw anyone should be able to
go to municipal hail and obtain
a copy of the bylaw “for two bits
4 sheet.”

The bylaws, the contents of

which are unknown to the ~

editorial staff, evidently refer
somehow to the purchase or
sale of land; in particular to
land negotiations now going on
between the municipaltiy and a
local industry.

MacDonald said the “sale of
land hasn’t been completed
yet,” and public exposure to the
bylaws could somehow
jeopardize negotiations.

He agreed the rights of a
citizen had been violated when
municipal officials refused to
show copies of the bylaw to the
press. .

He feels the situation is being
dramatized by the press and
that there is “a lack of
communication and
understanding that could be
cleared up.” :

Something in the bylaw hasn't

But the bylaws..were
March 22, 1971.

In refusing. to let. reporter
Rudy Haugeneder see copies of
the bylaw, municipal
administrator Jack Hardy said;
“There matter has not -been
closed...there is a possiblility of
change to it,”

Alderman Gordon’ E,
Rowland said the bylaw, which
has only been read once in
council but should be revealed
at a citizen's demand, is a
“good bylaw.” He said that he
knows of no changes being
made to the bylaw...‘no
changes whatsoever,” :

Rowland also agreed alt
bylaws are public knowledge
after first reading.

“Unfortunately there is the.
odd one that is not beneficial to
have read,” .

The bylaw should not have

. been read in council when it

was. ‘It was an error in tact,’
he said,

He reminded the Herald that
the bylaw has only been read
once and is not yet law, but did
not deny the public's right-to see
it.
