The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 22, 1995 - A3 News In Brief Unpaid traffic fines targeted THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT is hiring collection agencies to track down more than $129 million in unpaid traffic fines. Judging by government statistics, those agencies will be busy be- cause more than 500,000 people have so far evaded payment. Collection agencies will be able to gamishee wages and bank ac- counts and seize vehicles and property. “These new measures will help ensure full recovery of outstand- ing traffic fines and make British Columbia roads safer by enforc- ing good driving habits,”’ said highways minister Jackie Pement. Up until now, the government’s only power to collect unpaid fines "is to refuse to renew driver’s licences. But renewals are required only every five years. Nearly three-quarters of those who have unpaid fines are under the age of 35 and the average amount is $260, Approximately $75 million in fines are paid cach year. The province is going to introduce legistation this spring allowing it to charge interest on unpaid fines. Stewart to hold by-election STEWART IS going to have a by-election, the second one in less than a year. Councillor David Willan has resigned because he’s taken an ac- counting job with the Gibralter copper mine at McLecse Lake near Williams Lake, Elected in the 1993 general municipal election, Willan was an accountant at Westmin’s Premier mine. Nominations opened yesterday and close March 3 for the by- election which will be held April & If past elections are an indication, between 70 and 80 per cent of cligible voters will turn out, says Stewart administrator Brian Woodward. “We've traditionally had the best turmout for municipal elections in the province,’* he said. A by-election was held last year to fill a seat vacated when ¢ coun- cillor David Blais was killed in a plane crash. Border post doubtful STEWART MAYOR Andy Burton doubts if a plan by the United States to collect fees for foreigners entering that country will be put in place at the crossing between his community and Hyder, Alaska. “Pd be amazed. I don’t think-the money collected would ever be enough to pay wages,”’ said Burton. The plan by U.S. President Bill Clinton is to collect for each person and each vehicle entering the United States, As the situation stands now, the majority of the cross border traf. fic between Hyder and Stewart is made up of Americans, said Burton. Some of that traffic is generated during the summer months when the Alaska Marine Highway System nuns a ferry connecting Hyder with other American communities on the Alaska Panhandle.
