George MacCready of Victoria
Paving says that girls were hired
for the traffic control job
because it was hoped that drivers
would be a little more courteous
to a female flagman. ‘‘But it’s
nearly impossible to do the job
with that volume of traffic”
commented MacCready who says
that since this hiring policy has
become known, he has a. waiting
list of potential flag-girls, mostly
University students.

One of the young ladies, former

with her employer. She told The
Review that “Some people are
really good as they drive past.

pointed suddenly to a little sports

“Miss Davies also mentioned
that “some. people play games

However, she cinphasized that

Two Aldermen Threatened
With Eviction From Council

SPECTATOR ASKED TO LEAVE
CHAMBER BY MAYOR DAVIS

BY PAT MUNSON

Staff correspondent of The Sidney Review,”

A deadlock over discussions of the Kingswood scheme will, North
Saanich Council hopes, be resolved after an in camera meeting to be
set up as soon as possible with W.K. Smith, deputy minister of

municipal affairs and municipal solicitor Cecil Branson in attendance.

The unanimous decision to call the urgent meeting was the solitary

point of agreement during a tumultuous Council meeting on Monday,

during which two aldermen and one spectator were threatened with

“ejection.

Reference to the Municipal Act and the procedural bylaw tangled
discussions of the previous minutes even before Council turned its’
attention to Monday’s agenda.

Ald. Doug Boon fought for and finally won a motion to include i in, the
minutes this preamble to a resolution reaffirming Council’s adoption
of the development area bylaw. Without this preamble, said Boon,
there was nothing in the minutes to indicate Council had d given study to
the bylaw. - 5
