By-law enforcement officer Frank Bowsher said the crack- down on illegal. parking will come on the hecls of a two-week campaign of issuing warnings. “He said‘ that campaign started April 27 with three warnings being handed out to drivers on Graham Ave, However, he added, things had improved markedly since the truck controversy blew up. At a January public works com- mittee mecting, Bill Sauer of the Northwest Loggers Association had ‘offered to help tackle the problem. _ He asked the city to pass on complaints to the association, without giving the name of the complainant, and it would try to bring pressure to bear on the indi- vidual. ~*The North West Loggers As- sociation has done everything we asked,’’ Bowsher said of events Out & About THE COMPANY thal owns the northwest’s cable system has a deal to purchase one in the east Kootneays, Okanagan Skeena Group Ltd, says it will pay $10 million for: Kootenay: Cable Lid. which has- >| 8,000 customers in Kimberley, : Fernie, Elkford and Sparwood.

Recapping the provisions of the cily’s street and traffic by-law, Bowsher said loaded trucks were prohibited from parking on city strecis or boulevards at any time. The only exceptions were delivery vehicles in the act of loading or ynloading. Unloaded trucks weighing more than 4 tonnes or with a manufac- turer’s rated capacity of one tonne or more were banned be- tween the hours of 9 pum. and 6 a.m. Such vehicles could, however, legally park overnight on private prope Still unresolved, however, is the issue of a designated truck route through the city.

But engincering director Stew Christensen said that review has not yel been carried out. Even if the matter had been given top priority, he explained, the route could not have been in place by the time the frost came out of the ground, That, he added, was the period of greatest concem as far as damage to roads was concerned.
