Eisenman candidate in
North Van byelection

NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C.

Expressing regret that charges of irregularities in business deals with the municipality
should have precipitated a byelection with its attendant expenses, Damon Eisenman, long-
time resident of North Vancouver and campaigner for progressive policies in municipal
affairs, has entered his name as candidate for councillor in the September 24 district by-

election..

“Unless there is more to this
than has been stated by all par-
ties concerned, council members
might, well have been devoting
their time to more important dis-
trict matters,” Eisenman com-
mented.

Eisenman is seeking voters’
support for a program of com-
munity and industrial develop-
ment. “I stand for implement-
ing the Robinson Report, for
an end to B.C. Electric mon-
opoly of public utilities, and
for issuance of interchangeable
bridge passes for North Shore
“commuters, to reduce and
equalize costs of travelling,”
Eisenman said this week.

The probe of North Vancouver
district council affairs ordered
after charges of irregularities led
to resignation of Councillor Mort
Reid and precipitated the sby-
élection, has been conducted by

W. K. Smith of the provincial
department of municipal affairs.

Smith was called in by coun-
cil after Councillor Donovan laid
charges of irregularities in a pro-
posed land deal with a real estate
firm, Black, Gavin and Company,
Ltd., which is the employer of
Councillor Gordon Hutton.

Councillor Donovan also charg-
ed that Councillor Mort Reid was
taking advantage of his position
to enhance business with the
municipality for his tire firm,
and that the finance committee,
chaired by Councillor Murdo
Frazer, was not interested in
serving the best interests of the
taxpayers, and that municipal
employees were disturbed and
unsettled.

In the course of the heated
council discussions; only Coun-
cillor Davidson remained silent.
Mort Reid, in offering his resig-
nation, was defended by Coun-
cillors Hutton, Frazer and Grif-

| fin, who nevertheless allowed
t
the resignation to stand.

In his statement to council,
iReeve Currie, who later also re-
signed, exonerated Reid from un-
ethical behavior and asked for
(the solicitor’s advice on the legal
aspects of his dealings.

Donovan’s ,motion calling for
an investigation was seconded by
Councillor Griffin, and so was
brought to the floor and passed.

Smith has now completed his
investigation and returned to Vic-
toria, but his report has not yet
been released.

According to reports, Council-
lor Donovan first-contacted Dep-
uty Minister of Municipal Affairs

Brown, through Social Credit
MLA for North - Vancouver,
George Tomlinson. ‘Feeling that
he had no assurance of action
from the municipal affairs de-
partment, Donovan then raised
his charges in council.

Among the issues called in
question was that of the Sey-
mour School, site for which,
according to charges, was be-
ing held by North Vancouver
District for $6,000 although
only assessed at $1557. Only
when North Vancouver School
Board protested strongly was
it released for $1557. :

Another issue raised in coun-
cil by Frazer in defence of Hut-
ton concerned land assessed at
$8,600 which allegedly was sold
to Black, Gavin & Company Ltd.,
for $2,883. This land was re-
portedly re-evaluated by the fin-
ance committee at $2,883 without
the cost of supplying. services.

The number of candidates in
the byelection came as a sur-
prise to some quarters, who be-
lieved that Mort Reid was gen-
