One man’s opinion

By FRED MERRIMAN :

Dear Tex, : ‘
_ 1 was going to write you a private letter. However, your recent speech
presented to the Nelson City Council on the 1980 budget requires public
recognition.

It is absolutely refreshing to know that some hope remains that increases
in mill rates and assessments shall no longer be an i bility

Student employment
centre in operation

The, Canada Emoploy-
ment Centre for students is
in operation again this sum-

* mer, with Bonnie Pereverzoff

returning as a student place-
ment officer for the Castlegar
and Trail offices.

Pereverzoff is a third-
year education student at the
q

Several years ago we read of a mayor at Delta, B.C. who applied standard
busi ff to icipal government and actually reduced the ‘mill

rate, .
| particularly liked your on pl toad impr and
paving programs. My old neighborhood around Victoria Street has waited
patiently for 20 years as far as | know for the first bucket of asphalt to be
poured into the many potholes which fester up the hill and eastward, .

You raised another excellent point when you revealed the inequity of nine
per cent on top level salaries is far different than nine per cent near the bot-
tom of the heap. :

1 also wondered how many years would go by before someone would
realize that.Nelson is paying double for police service.

Now that we have you in Nelson and Audrey running Castlegar and con-
servatlve Chuck holding the line in Trail we can expect more reasonable times
ahead, :
lt is regrettable that we'couldn't find anyone strong enough to say “No”

years ago,

have said on several occasions that our main hope for clear thinking in
government will start with the municipal governments. It is most likely that it
should start right at home b the bers of the ils and many of
the public employees are friends or relatives. The councilmen ond council
ladies cannot hide behind some committee and a public employee leaning ona
shovel draws money right out of my overdrawn bank account.

I don't think anyone wants the local governments to go cheap street and
pinch pennies, but most of us just want to see some . . . as you say . . . capital
improvement for the dollar.

Maybe | can get personal foraminute.

There stands an 80-year-old heritage home on a commercial thoroughfare
in the heart of downtown Nelson. It is in a state of disrepair because of taxes.

The assessment is completely out of order, but how can you argue with
neighboring market values. It would be unfair to raise rents more than
marginally. The mill rate has steadily climbed upwards and old Captain Smith
would roll over in his grave if he saw his 1901 mansion leaning into the wind
and drawing the majority of a thousand-dollar bill just to pay for city services.
Fix it up, you say. Then up go the taxes and up goes the rent. vi

Ghettos ore born of such thinking as mine. | like to think the local gover-

* pments have more power to say no than I have to say yes.

So good for you, Tex. Hold taxes, freeze the millrate and maybe then a

faw more people will paint the old place and we will all look and feel better for

Stolen truck brings

interesting explanation

A truck pulled into the
Kalesnikoff Lumber Co. at
Thrums last Friday followed
by a car occupied by several
‘visibly upset people.

_ The’ reason for their
concern: they believed the
truck had been stolen.

And it had been. But in
all innocence,

It seems the chairman of
the Castlegar Kiwanis Club’s
auction committee had ar-
ranged to borrow a truck
from a’ fellow Kiwanian to
take to Ki 's for a

truck’s- owner who had
jumped into a car with
friends and set off in hot
pursuit.

, The owner of the truck

“bought” the story about the

“wrong” truck and at last’

report was heard repeating

over and over again some- -

thing that sounded like

“galdarn ... galdarn . ..

truck was parked in the same
area — also with its keys in

it. ‘
