It represents a payment in licu of taxes because crown corpora- tions are exempt from direct property and business taxation by municipalities. The grants are payable on claim centres, administrative offices, ‘storage yards and salvage yards. Province wide, the grants total more than $4,2 million. New guns for the RCMP IT MAY take a couple of years yet, but RCMP members are due for new handguns to replace their Smith and Wesson .38 calibre re- volvers. Several models are being considered as the six-shot Smith and Wessons are no longer considered to be a choice weapon for mod~ ern law enforcement needs. “Cost is an issue. How easy is it to operate. What is its velocity, is it durable. [Is if accurate. All these things are under considera- tion,’’ said local RCMP Staff Sergeant John Veldman of the search for a replacement. Members of the public may have already noticed that some RCMP members already carry a different kind of handgun on duty, These are 9mm pistols and are used by officers on the force’s regional Emergency Response Team. . Response team officers were given permission to carry the 9mm pistol on regular duty to ‘avoid having to be familiar with two kinds of weapons. , SPRINKLING City tightens water rules Although the weather has been * hot and dry, it -hasn’t broken .

City director of engineering Stew Christensen said the move came after alarms at the Wilson Ave, tanks on the bench indicated there was insufficient water for fire protection. He said city crews managed to replenish the Wilson tanks with The real problem, he explained, was the luck of water coming out of the Deep Creek reservoir — water the city relies on to service the bench. Last Tuesday, Deep Creek reservoir yielded five million litres. The flow fell to 3.5 million litres on Wednesday, Christensen said, and on Thursday dropped to just 2.4 million litres. “Tt was getting worse,’’ he said. ‘“There wasn’t enough out of Deep Creek to even service the bench.”’ City pumps worked overtime to push water from the Skeena River up into holding fanks on the bench to meet firefighting re- quirements. “The pumps just can’t keep - up,”’ Christensen said. ‘We would eventually run out of water in the Wilson Ave, tanks without the resirictions.’’ HEWITT RAND 484sx/33 System « Desktop Case * 4865X 33MHz CPU « 213 MB Hard Drive * 3.5° HD FOD « 14" SVGA Monitor « VLB Controllar « Trident 9000 Video ¢ 10] Enhanced Keyboard * Mouse & Pad * MS-DOS 6,22 ¢ Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Pe OR THE Gl F TERRACE sprinkling, until further notice. 3rd Stage - WATER SPRINKLING RESTRICTIONS The continuing dry weather is lowering the water in City reservoirs to a critical level, To ensure that adequate supply is available for fire fighting purposes, the City of Terrace finds it necessary io impose further restrictions on water Effective Saturday, August 20th, 1994, water sprinkling Is permitted ONLY between the hours of: 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. ODD NUMBERED HOUSES - ON ODD DAYS OF THE MONTH EVEN NUMBERED HOUSES - ON EVEN DAYS OF THE MONTH Further restrictions, if necessary, may be imposed on short notice.
