Editor:

Central Saanich residents who value the still relatively quict and peaceful nature of — our municipality should keep a close watch on the proccedings of the Central Saanich economic devel- opment committee. If not, they may face radical change, greatly increased population, problems with traffic, water supply, and sewage disposal, heavy taxation to pay for these, and a crowded, more urban type of community with expensive readjustments to
