For 1971 council Jolliffe sets | rules of game After an action-packed year on council, Mayor Victor Jolliffe Monday handed his aliermen a new set of rules to play by. He bended a little. But he also got a little tougher in some areas, After setting down his new rules, Jolliffe then handed committes to- various aldermen, Sources say a few aldermen "aren't éxactly happy. with their. “conimittee, but they didn’t show it at Monday's meeting. . MAKES STATEMENT The mayor, in his statement, said: “After reviewing the work completed by council in 1970, while 1 am happy with the amount of work completed, we at times certainly went about it the hard way to reach our ab- jective.” Pulling his little surprise out of his hat, Jolliffe told his council: “This year I am going to try something a little dif- ferent.” “After talking to each one of you individually last week, with the exception of Ald. Mac- Donald, who was unavailable, I think we have pinpointed some of the areas of conflict that we have experienced in 1970,” TO KEEP COOL The biggest one, said the mayor, ‘‘which has been the feeling that the mayor should ‘Wildman’ attacks policeman A Terrace man who became “pretty wild” and assaulted a police officer, was fined $500 in court Monday.. ; Judge C.J. Norrington levied the fine on Samuel Jonah Gray, 35. He was charged alter a fight _ with an officer at 4a.m. Sunday, ' The fight broke out at the Terrace Hotel when police came to arrest Gray for being drunk and causing a distur- bance.

Council finally settled for a portion of the arena --- open air skating rink with an ice plant for $30,000 in a centennial grant . and a further $50,000 from position in as much as that you service clubs and pledges. It will be the corner stone of .the overall arena complex ' which will eyentually be built around the-rink for nearly $800,000 from clubs and fund- raising programs Launched by local businessmen Biil McRae and Walter Yeo. = TALK FIRST In effect, the committees will discuss various municipal ' projects, inchuding continuation of the paving program, and make their decisions known to an open meeting of the council. .. Jolliffe told The Herald later he has put his plumbing business in storage as a holding company inorder to become "a full-time mayor", He. said this decision will allow him the opportunity . to. best serve the municipality ona full-time ‘basis and. assist the .. administration and council — wherever there are problems. ~ | Lucky look “observant neighbour had not ek oO: Committee given overhaul “Mayor . ‘Victor Jollitte reshuffled Terrace Municipal Council’s deck Monday night.

Rooky alderman Ian Mac- Donald got one of the “more important’’ committees and Jolliffe said he handed him the committee _ with “reser- vations”, TOUCHY.
