The Kitimat -mayor criticized th
‘“*beaurocracy at the helath level” which he said
was costing the taxpayer a lot of money.

The helath and human resources centre, along
with a proposed courthosue has been the subject
of lengthy dispute between the District of
Terrace and the provincial government’s B.C.
Buildings Corporation.

Terrace council also complained that they had
not been consulted on the choice of the location.
(The province chose the site at Kalum and
Olson.)
ti Cost of the two facilities is uncertain at this

me.

Arecent figure quoted a total cost of $6 million
but the B,C. Buildings Corporation told the
regional board in a letter that “it is anticipated
that proposed facility will be consideralby

‘smaller’ than the: original design which will

result in ‘‘significant and cost-effective
savings.”

BOSTON (AP).- Are you
honest enough to return a
wallet with §5 init? ~

Most people aren’t — that is
if a WBZ Radio experiment
is an accurate meastre,

-” As part of a 10-part series

on honesty, WBZ scattered
10 wallets -- each containing
a $5 bill -- throughout
downtown Boston,

Two weeks later, three

wallets had been returned
with the money still inside,
Two were mailed back
without the money, and the
rest were never returned.
One of the wallets that was
returned empty wasn’t
WB2’s. .. Apparently,
somebody kept the money '
and wallet, but thought he'd
make a nice gesture by
sending in his old wallet.
