A A Hopeful Approach

‘The modified sanitary Sewer system” now. recom-
mended to the residents of Central Saanich presents a
_-new and hopeful approach to a problem that has baffied
_ successive municipal councils for the past ten years.

Differing ! from the bylaws rejected by the ratepayers
in two recent referendums, the most significant change
is the introduction of a two-mill Pollution Control Tax to

finance the proposed trunk sewer, treatment plant and
ocean outfall facilities. The tax will be levied on all
property owners in the municipality.

In the sewerage collection areas of Brentwood,
_ Saanichton and Turgoose, home owners will pay the
_ property tax and the appropriate sewer rental charge,
and these electors alone will qualify to- vote in a
-_ referendum at a date yet to be named.

Chance of success is made brighter by the provincial
. ruling that this time a simple majority will suffice,

‘providing that 60.per cent of the. _ eligible electors
_ exercise their franchise.

oe Some i in the areas not to be serviced may question the
: application of the two-mill tax, but on consideration it
~ seems eminently fair that all residents should. make
- their contribution and thereby obtain a vested interest in

the the trunk installations. It is conceivable that. other
os areas will seek to link up with the facilities in the future.

From the amenity point of view alone all residents will

There .are many -modern
prophets. as well as those of old
time.:who are giving-us. pictures
of a time soon to come. This is a
New - Age. Golden Age.: or
Millenium..as it is sometimes
called. This time is being hailed
as quite close. It is variously
prophesied to be from 20 to 50
years from now. In this New Age
there will be no war. hate. in-
justice. lust or greed. in short. a
heavenly state.

It would. scem most illogical
that’ mankind can or woud
change his ways in so short a
time. especially when all. the
Signs around -us indicate. a
worsening of behavior rather
than an improvement. There. js
one accompanying element in the
prophes sing of this future time
that is not much noted. That is.
the world-cleansing: which will
take place before the New Age is
ushered in.

There are two Bible references
which. I think. evervone should
take note of. and I'd like to point
out there is nothing about “sin-
ners” or being “saved” in either
one. First: we -have Matthew:
