town.

The candidate said he has
no intention of stepping
down from his position of
mayor if nominated by the
Reform party.

He joins Liberal Rick
Wozney who continues as
mayor of Kitimat in this
regard,

And if elected to the legis-
lature, Burton is considering

staying on as Stewart's
mayor until his term is up
this coming winter.

“There are lots of prece-
dents for doing this,’’ said
Burton last week.

‘'That’s the way I {cel at
this point in time but this
may change if we're clected
government.’

Burton also sits on the
Kitimat-Stikine regional dis-
trict and on the region's new
hospital financing authority.

He’s been a critic of the
way land claims are being
negotiated in B.C. and of
the failure of Orenda Forest
Products to build a process-
ing facility in his area.

The Skeena Reform
nomination had been held
by Ron Town who was
forced to step down last
month after suffering a heart
attack.

Reformers are scheduled
to howl a nominating meet-
ing here in Terrace April 27.

But that can be pushed
ahead should Premier Glen
Clark call an clection before
that date.
