A municipal by-
election will be required
to fill the aldermanic seat
recently vacated by Fred
MacDonald. At the
March 24 meeting, coun-
cil adopted a proposal
from administration set-
ting May 31 as the poll-
ing date. Mayor Talstra
and Alderman Jackman
and Hallock were ap-
pointed to the Court of
Revision, and May 12
has been established as

nomination day.

A motion by Ald.
Hallock and Jackman to
instruct the Finance
Committee to freeze all
travel expense requests
from administration,
council and committee
members, was defeated
at the March 24 council
meeting, with Mayor
Talstra breaking a tie
vote. Ald. Hallock
argued that the. present
depleted state of
municipal finances will
not allow for such ex-
penses. Ald. Clark
declared himself to be in
sympathy with the intent
of the motion, but
stated, ‘‘There can be
benefits to some of these
conferences,”?

The travel issue arose
in response to a request
from Roger Leclerc, a
member of the Tourism
and Economie Advisory
Commission, for travel
expenses to Vancouver.
In a letter Leclerc advis-
ed council that the trip
was necessary in order to
promote arrangements
for a major conference
on forestry scheduled to
be held in Terrace during
September. Ald. Cooper
noted, ‘‘This is going to

_ RCMP

be an extremely impor-
tant conference, and a

major issue for
Terrace.’ The request
was granted.

The subject of world
peace surfaced several
times at the March 24
municipal council
meeting. A letter from
the mayor of Sacramen-
to, Calif., requested en-
dorsement for the
nomination of Mayor
Motoshimi of Nagasaki
and Mayor Araki of
Hiroshima to the 1986
Beyond War world peace
aword, The letter ex-
plained that Beyond War
is a U,S,-based peace
and disarmament
organization, and that
the mayors of the two
Japanese cities deserve
the award for convening
the first World Con-
ference of Mayors for
Peace last year. Council
endorsed the nomina-
tion.

Council members were
also notified that a
Centennial Peace
Festival will be held in
Vancouver during the
week of April 24. A let-
ter from the office of
Vancouver Mayor Mike
Harcourt detailed
scheduled activities for
the festival and indicated
that speakers at the con-
ference will include
economist John Kenneth
Galbraith and Stephen
Lewis, Canadian am-
bassador to the United
Nationa.

Ald. George Clark ad-
vised council that he will
be attending the con-
ference at his own ex-
pense,

Ald, Clark later put
forward a successful mo-
tion to have the week of
April 20-27 declared
‘Peace Week” in Ter-
race. The motion includ-.
ed permission to hold a
peace rally on April 27. .

meeting, Terrace council
received a report from
regarding
criminal investigations in
the district for the month
of February. Break-ins
to four businesses and 10
residences occurred,

three stolen vehicles were
reported, and 15 occa-
sions of thefts from
vehicles were in-
vestigated. Shoplifting
incidents totalled 23, and
24 reports of theft under
$200 were received.

A delegation of
residents from the 4700
block Davis St. appealed
to Terrace council at the
March 24 meeting to
have their street paved.
Spokesman Ron Gard-
ner described the condi-
tion of the street as ‘‘ter-
rible’, citing rough sur-
face and drainage pro-
blems which cause water
to pool at both ends of
the block.

Mayor Jack Talstra
suggested that a Local
Improvement Project
(LIP) would be ap-
propriate for the area.
Ald. Bob Jackman
pointed out, however,
that one of the property
owners on the block lives
out of town, a cir-
cumstance which could
prevent endorsement of
the LIP. |

A LIP arrangement
would specify that the
cost of paving be borne
by property owners who
have lots fronting on the
street. Granting of the

| LIP requires the consent

of all property owners
involved, and the ex-
pense is realized through
added taxation over a
period of twenty years.

The request was refer-
red by council to the
Public Works with the
direction that all possible
effort be made to secure
the LIP.

Residents of the 4900
block Park Ave, and the
3300 block Kenney St.
are contesting applica-
tion for a temporary in-
dustrial use permit of a
lot in their area.

At the March 24
meeting, Terrace council
members examined a
report from a_ recent
public hearing held to
discuss the application.
The permit is being re-
quested by the B.C.
Building Corp. to allow
them to demolish several
houses on a residential
lot they own and replace
the houses with a triple-
wide modular building.
The lot is used as a
maintenance yard for the
Ministry of Highways
and that usage would
continue under the terms
of the permit. The
Ministry of Highways
used the lot as an
assembly point for work
crews prior to the area
being zoned residential
and has legal non-
conforming status in the
matter. BCBC represen-
tatives have expressed

the intent to eventually
move the operation to a
location in Thornhill but
indicate that the move
will not be possible in the
immediate future.

Area residents have
contended that the
Ministry of Highways
usage of the lot is inap-
propriate, and they have
petitioned council to
either deny the permit or

reduce the period of time
allowed in the terms of
the permit.

Council referred the
report to the Planning
and Economic Develop-
ment Commission, with
the recommendation that
one further meeting be
arranged with BCBC in
an attempt to bring the
matter to a satisfactory
conclusion.
