TERRACE — A representative of residents living in the 5100 block Mills Avenue area will be invited to a meeting of city coun- cil’s Planning and Public Works Committee to discuss a petition signed by nine residents com- plaining of an open ditch which they say is a “‘potential hazard’’. According to the petition, water level ‘in a ditch on the north side of Mills Ave. has at times ex- ceeded six feet. This, they say, presents a potential danger to children in the area as well as residents whose driveways cross the ditch, and they want it filled in, Also included in the petition is a request for. paving the western portion of Mills Ave. The plight of these residents differs from that of 13 others in _ the 4900 block Mills Ave., who complained about a portion of the same ditch in a petition filed last March. The ditch was des- cribed by Mills Ave. resident — Black-Jeans — Black Sweatshirt — White Runners Terrace RCMP are in- tensifying their investigation into the killing of a local teenager whose body was discovered at the Ter- ~ race/Kitimat airport early on the morning of Nov. 11.
