Ratepayers ask nuisance bylaw BURNABY, B.C. Residents of Capitol Hill are demanding that Burnaby Municipal Council bring in its long-deferred nuisance bylaw and enforce it against Shell Oil Company’s refinery at Shellburn. This is the latest development in the campaign residents have conducted against the odors, smoke and glare from the refinery ever since the new $10-million installa- tion was put into operation last year. : At its meeting on Thursday last week, Capitol Hill Ratepay- ers Association rejected as un- satisfactory a report brought in by a committee appointed by Burnaby Council. The committee, headed by Act- ‘ing Reeve W. P. Philps and includ- ing Councillors Arnold Hean, Sam Hughes and Fred Philps, reported to Burnaby council on Monday last week it was satisfied that Shell “Oil was “taking definite and con- certed action to.do all within Selling the PT | Away toa good start Dear Reader: We're away to a good start on what we confidently anticipate will be the most successful circulation _ campaign in our 12-year history—— and that’s a long time in the life of a labor paper. 7 On Tuesday night this week I met with the directors of 18 of our press clubs and they all assured me that they would fill the quotas they have set ’ themselves. And from various points in the province come encouraging letters like this one fromm Powell River: “Remember, Powell River always makes its quota.” In the day-in, day-out work on which the very life of our paper depends, Point Grey press club won the club-of-the-month honor for August, with these other clubs meriting praise: Kitsilano, Victory Square, Capitol Hill, West End, Grandview in Greater Vancouver, and Nanaimo, Victoria, Mission, New Westminster and Trail in the province. : Rita Whyte CONSTANTINE FINE CUSTOM TAILORING Ladies’ and Gentlemen Rm., 118, 603 W.

Quoting this section of the re- port, one member demanded: “Ts Shell Oil dictating a policy to suit its needs or is the coun- cil prepared to enforce a policy which meets the needs of those who built their homes on Capi- tol Hill long before Shell Oil built its new refinery. “The council’ should not have allowed the company to build its plant in a residential area until it was satisfied that it would not create a nuisance. The least the council can do now is ito adopt and enforce a nuisance bylaw.” — The contention that there was little improvement in the odors, smoke and glare from the plant, despite the company’s claims to have spent $125,000 on the prob- lem was supported by other mem bers and the motion rejecting the council committee’s report and de- manding a nuisance bylaw was passed unanimously. ie LPP convention set for October Between 175 and 200 accredited delegates are expected to attend the 10th convention of the British Columbia-Yukon district of the Labor-Progressive party when it opens in Pender Auditorium here at 8 p.m. on Friday, October 15, with a session open to LPP mem- bers, National Federation of Labor Youth members and invited guests. The convention will continue through Saturday and Sunday, Oc- tober 16-17. ‘Announcing the convention this week, Alf Dewhurst, LPP provin- cial organizer, said it was expcted to be the largest held in the past}: several years. Dewhurst reported that LPP clubs throughout the province were now discussing the draft of the party’s main policy resolution, ‘Develop B.C. for Our People — Not the U.S. Trusts,” as released | to the press and published in the Pacific Tribune, Noting that the LPP was the only political party which submit-|_ ted its main policy statement, not only to its entire membership but to the people generally for discus- sion before adopting it, Dewhurst said: “The LPP is the only party that can do this because its policies are based on the vital needs of our country and our people. Demo- cratic discussion can only streng- then the policy statement which will be adopted by working men and women, grass roots farmers, professional people and_ small businessmen -who will represent the LPP membership in every part of the-province at our convention.” “Everything in Flowers” FROM’... : 5 S EARL SYKE 56 E.

Continued BCER Despite sensational revelations by Vancouver city consultant Charles Brackenridge and the ad- mission by the PUC of errors 2 calculations amounting to some $750,000 the Socred government has not moved to repudiate thé, commission. Brackenridge found that the company had included in its figures two wage increases that fell out side the period concerned in the fare boost. The PUC admitted this — error but put it down to “inadvert- ence and stress of time.” ” ; He also questioned the propriety of the commission basing its d& ision not to give an increase 3?
