much more conscious of our
heritage” replied Dr. Worrall.
“Five years ago. people were not
so conscious, we value green land
now.’

Ald. George Aylard com-
mented that-it was unfortunate
people did not have this attitude
35 years ago.

Ald. Doug Boon volunteered the
results of two separate surveys
which he had carried out, one in
the vicinity of the road extension
and one in a completely unrelated
area, Dean Park. Both showed
the majority were in favour of the
work, said: Boon. One of. the
candidates for. election had. in-
dicated 70 percent of those he

‘contacted approved the job,

added the alderman.
Mayor Davis commented that
this valuable information should

-have come to the attention of

Council.

On the final vote, Davis and
Grieve were the sole opponents to
the scheme, “

Grieve anxiously asked Ald. H.
A. Taylor whether action would
commence hefore the Saturday

. election and was told the project

could not be started in that time.

The atmosphere was explosive
and the crowd was close-packed
but somehow the powder-keg of
municipal. politics was never
touched off at the North Saanich
all-candidates meeting last week.

The three incumbents to the
right of moderator Karel Drost
and the three other candidates
for Council seats fell into two
camps -~ those, urging a. con-
tinuation of present policies and
those declaring that Council
policies, particularly regarding
Kingswood and Wains Rd. ex-
tension, must be changed.

Ald. Doug Boon underlined the
importance of the December 9
election by saying that present
fragmentation must be stopped
and repaired. .

Boon . spoke frequently and
forcefully in explanation of
zoning policies and emphasized
the necessity for maintenance of
the democratic process and for a
Council ‘‘where the vote of the
majority is. unquestioningly
carried out.”

PETTY. POLITICS -

Ald: George. Aylard opted for
the gradual upgrading of roads
and drainage, more attention. to
fire prevention and recreational

needs in the municipality. Aylard
said he had a deep feeling. of
responsibility for adequate
control and planning of: -the
municipality.
*“Thate petty politics” said Ald.
George Cumpston, adding that he
was standing for re-election
because he does not believe in the

dictatorship recently | ex-
perienced. _ co me
Cumpston. defended... this

municipality’s:. present’ growth

~~ plan and said that North Saanich —

was. the only Peninsula

municipality. to. keep within

- Capital Regional Board planners’

projections. The former finance
chairman told voters that North
Saanich has built up a financial
position which has been the envy
of other municipalities.

Touching lightly. on the
recreation committee of which,
said Cumpston, he had been
‘‘miseast’’ as chairman, the
alderman promised a
questionnaire in early December
to seek wishes and needs of local
people.

PEOPLE’S VOICES

“People are tired of partisan
politics’ said Dr.-Ken Martin.
‘“They want to be consulted when
major issues arise.”

The candidate declared that
present zoning laws do not. suf-
ficiently protect the municipality
and conjectured on the effect of.a
possible’ change. in™ Council
members,. on the two-thirds
approval required for zoning
changes.

Richard» Kirk said that
Council showed. an. “‘irrespon-
sible’ attitude in deciding the
Kingswood issue without. putting
it to a referendum. Retention.and.
expansion of the rural area is
Kirk’s main: plank and he ad-

- vocated. eventual no-growth

status for North Saanich.

Kirk’s criticism of the -water
distribution was challenged by a
member of the audience” who
-reprimanded the candidate on
not. possessing the facts.

Dick Thuillier said that the
present.Council cannot carry out
policies based: on: rule by. ‘the
people. ‘‘We need a system for
communication with

spending such as rent of Central
Saanich public works equipment,
use of the” firefighting squad at

ratepayers, ” said Thuillier who:
suggested shortcuts in municipal °

PLANNING NEEDS

Questions from the audience
(well-behaved. under. moderator
Karel Drost’s gavel) elicited the
following replies:

Dr. Martin suggested that
North Saanich could follow the
example set by Central Saanich
and reserve rural. land by
changing minimum subdivision
zoning from two acre to five or 10
acres.

Ald. Boon, in answer to a
question from the floor posed by
fellow alderman Paul Grieve said
he considered Wain Rd. extension
to Madrona to be beneficial. On
the. Kingswood issue, Boon said
he. favored. detailed con-
sideration, subject to a-land use
contract and ‘‘l.am not prepared
to accept the first, third or fiftieth .
proposition !”"

‘Ald: Aylard commented on the
preservation: of rural areas: by
predicting an eventual freeze. on
all. .subdivision .. within: the
municipality. None of the Council
candidates were prepared at this
moment, however,. to. impose
such a freeze.

Other questions involved Ard-
more. re-plotting,. the petition
from about 80 residents opposing
Wain Rd. construction and ways
of dealing with migration to the
* Peninsula.”

Candidates for School Board
Lois Walsh and Henry Lake made
brief. prepared..speeches, both
