Minletry of Government Management Services Commisaion - (clo Parliament i Buildings) Victoria, B.C., VEX 4¥3 MINISTRY OF GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES lace, Vic: Road maintenance — continued from page A7 however, was what the city had to work with. According to Colongard, the city only owns two graders and two sand and plow equipped trucks, . that that’s not normally a problem. In the past, the city has simply contracted private contractors when the snow gets ahead of them. Since privatization, though, ‘‘Private equipment seems more difficult to get.” This fact of life is easily ex- plained when you talk to North Coast Road Maintenance. North Coast manager Mike Zylicz said they not only own two graders and seven trucks that take care of the Terrace area alone, they contract seven privately owned graders as well. And according to Zylicz, “That's everything | that’s available."’ So in fairness to everyone, regardless of what you may think of the condition of your road, these appear to be the facts. North Coast is doing: the best they can. ‘“‘We have to,’’ explains Zylicz. ‘It’s our bread and but- ter.’” With this in mind, he adds, ‘We don’t try to compromise. We do as much as we can with what we have and the rest is just good luck.” If North Coast has every piece of machinery in the area tied up, Zylicz’s statement makes sense. If every available piece of machinery is working no one can expect them to do more, And as far as the city is if North Coast has area tied up, it only makes sense that public works crews can only work as fast as the tools at their disposal will allow them. This, of course, doesn’t mean every- one’s happy. As far as the performance of North Coast Road Maintenance is concerned, the Terrace Review askedf Ministry of Highways district manager John Newhouse for a report. In general, he gives them high marks and adds that in some ways they’re doing even better than when the ministry took care of the job of winter road maintenance. Next week, we'll explain why. \ ~ Moratorium - turned down. Concerned over the environ- ment and uncontrolled develop- ment in the Meziadin Lake area, .. the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District called on the province last year to place a moratorium on any further development in the area. The driving force behind the request came from ‘the Nisga’as, who said that. preserving the Meziadin ‘Lake: system was a major factor in the protecting the Nass River fishery. Further development in the Meziadin area, they said, _ Might endanger their livelihood. Their point hasn’t been lost, _ but there won’t be a moratorium either. A moratorium isn’t necessary, says Minister of Crown Lands Dave Parker. Ina letter to the regional district, he - says, ‘‘My Ministry shares your concern about the detrimental effects posed by scattered and uncontrolled development along the Highway 37 corridor,”’ and, “Your proposal to develop a comprehensive and environmen-. tally sensitive land use plan for the area around Meziadin Junc- tion is one which I am very pleased to support.”’ In the meantime, though, “Any development proposals which emerge during the plan- ning study can be dealt with ef-- fectively through normal refer- ral procedures.’’ As far as nor- mal referral procedures are con- cerned, Parker says he fully sup- ports the concept of. concen- trating development at designated sites such as Meziadin Junction, but at the same time there are occasions when development outside these designated sites is warranted due to “‘specific site requirements” SALE PRIC /FREEM! & TERRACE 638-6585 PRINCE RUPERT 624-5714 KITIM 2.6037 _- FEBRUARY SPECIAL Canon PCG-SL REGULAR PRICE $1325.00 _ TOTAL SAVINGS $464.90 1 BLACK TONER CARTRIDGE 1 GREEN TONER CARTRIDGE RETAIL VALUE OF $238.90 BUSINESS MACHINES 4552 Lakelae Ave. Terrace, B.
