IT’S BEEN a long time
coming, but the city is now
pulting in place a by-law

The by-law specifies max-

imum heights for what are .

called special open fences,
open fences and ‘‘other”’.

Open fences are defined as
those which allow ‘‘direct
vision through at least 80
per cent of any one square
foot’? of the part of the
fence which is more than
eight inches above ground,

Special open refers to -
-open fences on all public
parks, schools, hospilals,
cemeteries, playgrounds and
playing fields -or courts.
Solid fences and visual
screen fences fall into the
other category.

Restrictions include set-
ting the maximum height of
special open fences in any
zone at 3.6 metres, Residen-
tial area apen fences can be
up to 2m high if abutting a
major road or industrial
zone but only one metre.
high if not,

And ‘others’? = are
restricted to one metre in all
zones if within 6m of an in-
tersection but can be as high
as 2m ifits a backyard fence

dustrial area.

Headed overseas

THAT UNGAINLY looking air-
craft you may have seen Oying
around the area lately is soon
bound for England.

The Bristol Freighter is one of
three such aircraft bought by an
English firm oul of the Trans
Provincial Airlines bankruptcy
last year.

They have since been in the
hands of a new local company
called Hawkair Aviation Services
which has been preparing all
three for fight.

“We've had it up for testing
and crew training,’” said Hawkair
spokesman Paul Hawkins last
week. ,

Included in the test flights was a
tip to the Bronson Creek airstrip
in the gold-tich Iskut Valley.

That trip had a doubie purpose,
said Hawkins, as it also
demonstrated to mining com-
panies that Hawkair will soon be
looking for business using the
remaining two Bristols.

It is leasing one of those from
the English owners and wants to
purchase the other.

“If you want to fly one plane
continuously, you have ta have
two. When one is working, the
other is having maintenance done
on it,”? explained Hawkins.

The test flights also enabled
Hawkair to determine how much
oil the aircraft’s engines use per
flying hour.

That made it possible to calcu-
late how much oil will be needed
for the trip to England.

“On the longest leg, from New-
foundland to Iceland, we calcu-
lated that we would run out of cil
three hours before we get to
Iceland,”’ said Hawkins,

‘But we do have long range
ferry tanks for this and we can
provide for enough oil,” he
added. .

Hawkins anticipated the trip
across to England will take place
in August.

In the meantime, the company

‘is working toward getting final

licences and approvals leading to

-it establishing a fully fledged fly-

ing business.

Hawkair already services air-
craft and operates a flying school,

There are four principals in
Hawkair and all worked for Trans
Provincial at the time it went aut
of business,

Flying into Bronson wasn’t a
new experience becavse the
Bristol had been used by Trans
Provincial to service mining com-
panies in that area,
