VANCOUVER (CP) — The Downtown
Eastside Residents ‘Association has over
the years become a thorn in the side of
slum landlords and some politicians.

The group, celebrating’ its 10th . an-
niversary ‘this summer, has made many
enemies because of its noisy protests about

conditions and overserving - -in bars in the
city’ 8 Skid Road.

‘It has also become known for its capers
such as the Crummy Cockroach Haven
Contest, with a $100 prize for nominating
the- area's three worst’ rooming houses,
hotels, taverns.or restaurants.

Of late the assocdtion has been ~

Green says the prablem comes down to

Tourism € effected

NEW WESTMINSTER,. Bo. (CP) —
‘weather that plagued B.C. in the past.several weeks is
having. an adverse effect on the. tourism industry both
locally and’ province-wide, industry spokesmen say.-.- .

Jack. Butterworth, president ,of the B.C. - Hotel
' Association, said Monday that hotels and motels throughaut
B.C. are running well below capacity.

A weekend survey by the association shows Vancouver-

Nicaragua and

area. accommodations © ‘aré running at only 45-per-cent | ~

capacity, with downtown ‘Vancouver at 75 per cent, “when
they should be running full,” said Butterworth.

‘In Revelstoke, B.C.,..which: is shutoff from Alberta
because of washouts on the Trans-Canada Highway, one
motel reported it had on ly five roonis rented, and in Trail
: another reported only. seven rooms occupied at the time of
.the survey. .Kelowna was running ‘about S0-per-cent oc-
cupancy as well, the suryey showed..

“There's a hell of a lot less yellow licence plates around

‘with that road closed,” said Butterworth.

And for most, several weeks of rain is to blame. .

-“Yes, il sure hasn’t helped,” said Butterworth. “If you
~ don’t make it in July and August .. . I don't know when you
are going. to make-it." — ° ~

Bob: Tuss, ‘vice-president ‘of the: Tourism Industry
Association of B.C., said Monday that many hotel operators
along. the - Trans-Canada route were . suffering “quite
dramatically. ™

The overall: decrease in hotel occupancy in Vancouver |

from last year is.19 per ‘cent, due to. recessionary cuts by
avellers and inclement weather, said Tuss. -

Alberta and eastern-based bus tours are forced to take
alternative routes along the Yellowhead or Crowsnest Pass
Toutes through the Rockies, cancelling reservations along
the way and at their points of destination in ‘Vancouver and
Victoria because of delay in arriving, Tuss added.

He agreed that Vancouver-area hotels and motels were

operating weil below capacity; and he termed a 75-per-cent
occupancy rate an optimistic figure. ,
