‘Comments « on transit:

Representatives of B.C. tran-

sit met with members of Terrace

city council, the board of direc-

_tors of the Kitimat-Stikine |
’ Regional District and the general

public in- Terrace recently to set

‘the terms .of reference for a.

review of transit services in the,

-Of specific concern was the

implementation of a specialized

service such as a.HandiDART |
system, a review of the regular
transit service already in place
came under discussion as well.
In particular,
whether there is adequate acces- -
sibility to the service and if the
hours of operation meet the
needs of the public.

_ B.C. Transit planner. Graeme
Masterton is in charge of the
study and he-encourages public

Sewer too costly

There has been a sewage dis-
posal problem for residents of
North Sparks north of Halliwell
for some time. There is a lot of
rock in the area making it un-

‘suited to septic systems and ac-

cording to a city official at least
one resident has been told he can
no longer use his septic system.
But there is hope that the city
may soon be able to come up
with the funding to build an

. extension to the sewage system

at Halliwell.

A petition signed by 10 North
Sparks residents was received by
city council last month and re-
ferred to the Public Works
Committee. It was~ later -dis-
cussed at the committee level but

there is little they can do at the

present time. Director of Engi-
neering, Stew Christensen, ex-
plained. to the committee that a
ditch, 26 feet deep in places,

would have to be blasted
through rock to extend the sewer
line and it has always been
considered too expensive.

But he added that he has
discussed the problem with the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and there may be some funding
available. There is a ‘‘possibili-
ty’, he says, of a cost sharing
arrangement with the provincial
government where they would
pay 25 percent of the first $5,000
and 50 percent of the balance.

This means the. government .
would pay about 35 percent of .
‘the cost, says Christensen. He

added that city .administrator
Bob Hallsor has also talked to

the government about doing a -

study to determine the feasibility
and estimate the cost of the
project. “So we’re still trying to

do something,’’ Christensen -

said.

Fire cuts mill output

draulic fluid from a line that was

mental damage as.a result of the _ .

fire.
