2 Terrace Review — Wednesday, February 18, 1987 Terrace council | TERRACE | — After less | than a month of official city status, Terrace has ap- parently attracted the at- tention of a new urban-- style business — an escort service. A memorandum receiv- -ed at the Feb. 9 council meeting from city license inspector Gerry Lichten- feld indicates an escort service operating out of Nanaimo has applied for a business license to set up shop in Terrace. Lichten- feld called council’s atten- tion to Section 508 of the Municipal. Act, which states that a license - ap- Gravel to be crushed TERRACE — Tenders have been called for two. separate gravel crushing contracts in the Terrace Highways District, it was announced today by Transportation and Highways Minister Cliff Michael and Skeena MLA Dave Parker. The first project in- cludes crushing, screening and stockpiling 20,000 cubic metres of aggregate 19 mm size at Pit 5211, about 6.5 km north of Terrace. Closing date for tenders is Feb.. 24, while the project completion date is May 31, 1987. The second tender call ‘involves crushing, screen- ing and stockpiling 12,000 metres of 16 mm graded seal aggregate at. Crescent Drive Pit in the Thornhill community next to the city of Terrace. Closing date for tenders is Feb. 26 and the project completion date is May 31. About five persons will be employed on each. project. Pit development, in- cluding clearing, grubb- ing, stripping and site preparations for both pro- jects will be used for road- work i in the area, plication may be refused inspectors: shows a marked : by a two-thirds vote of increase in construction council, ‘but the granting or renewal. of a license shall not be unreasonably. refused’’. Lichtenfeld indicated that both the City of Nanaimo and Nanaimo RCMP reported no prob- lems with the business be- ing operated there by the same individual. Administrator Bob Hall- sor said the Terrace RCMP had also screened the company and found no criminal convictions. _ “This sort of thing must be subject to closest - scrutiny,’”. said Ald. Ruth Hallock, ‘‘and we have no reason to suppose that it’s not a perfectly legitimate business,’’ Ald. George Clark add- ed, ‘‘License applications like this have been. con- tested in a number of places, but I believe every municipality that has received this sort of ap- _plication has eventually had to grant it. Opposi- tion through the courts can cost taxpayers a for- - tune.” Council voted to receive the memorandum, which: means the license applica- tion can be acted on. by the inspector without further action by council. ‘RICK HANSEN WEEK . The week of Feb. 21 to 28 has been declared “Rick Hansen — Man-in- Motion Week’? in Terrace by a resolution of city council. The declaration came in response to a re- quest from Malcolm Hil- cove, fund-raising chair- man for the Terrace Man- in-Motion committee, who stated in a letter to council that an official proclamation will help focus public attention on the activities being plan- ned for the week.
