“HE .UNFOUGHT BATTLE: Nanimo City and Harewood Im- provement District have jointly decided to move their garbage dump to a new location because of the proximity of the present location to Chase River village where the residents have been annoyed for years by rodents and acrid smoke from burning gar- bage.

Like so many decisions of that august body of nincompoops this one is as poorly thought out as the other projects, The new dump location is no further away from Chase River than before with the added disadvantage of being lo- cated in a cul-de-sac where there are an additional 50 or more South Wellington homes which up to the present has not been af- fected by the present dump.

Chase River ratepayers are up in arms and the ratepayers of South Wellington maintain adump in their district will not betoler- ated, period. Some suggestions made at a meeting last week were almost amusing if they hadn’t been made with such sincerity. One lady of determination said she would dump all her garbage on Nanaimo streets and take a chance on a littering charge, All agreed to set up pickets at the entrance and not allow trucks to pass,

Under the present weak-kneed pollution act it is not possible to stop the project until such a time as garbage is dumped and it is proven to cause air pollution, The whole affair is about to be- come one of the hottest fights in history of this part of the Island. The bright spot in the whole affair is the determina-

AS RUMOR HAS IT: The boys at the legislature are speculat- ing the date for the next pro- vincial election, Government members are accusing Opposi- tion members of obstruction as usual, but with greater venom than previously, which goes to prove something. These Socreds are a canny lot with a scheme behind all their actions.

One cabinet minister said he was not in favor of pollution con- trol at the provincial level for it would tend to interfere with the free enterprise system ofthis dynamic society: indeed, Steel- head trout are not the only fish that can slip off the hook, In the meantime, seven thousand people in Port Alberni signed a petition to have the government take some action in the matter of pollution,

The Minister of Health declared he is in favor of public-owned ambulances under BCHIS, How- ever, he did not say this neces- sary service would be taken by his department, It sounds very much like a bit of premature politicing. The excuse for not taking the ambulances over now, “federal legislation does not per- mit the province to operate am- bulances.” Strange, the Saskat- chewan Medicare had no trouble in that regard, federal fegislation notwithstanding.

Strange too, how Nanaimo’s 40-year-old General Hospital was sold to the architect who condemned the building some two years back the price was twenty thousand and it is consid- ered it will take a month to fix the building over to general offices after the area is rezoned to business rather than residen- tial as now, It is expected there will be many complaints from residents in the area; but nobody on council pays any attention to complaints, only around election time; Too bad the electorate have such short memories.
