Apartment Accommodation Needed Here

Castlegar council members are wrest-
ling with a ticklish problem this week.
They are having to. decide a policy on
the building of apartment blocks in the
_ Village. p

Before them dre two applications:
one is from a group of residents who
don’t want an apartment on their street
even though present zoning in that area
allows such buildings; the other is from a
‘developer who wants the ban on apart-
ments discarded in yet another section
of the village to allow him to put one up

to carry. With a jump, in the school mill
rate this year and the likelihood of suc-
cessful fy ge of a regional colleg
money bylaw in December (not to men-
tion those sewers we voted for last year
and which we're soon going to have to
start paying for), our village fathers
should do everything possiblé to encour-
age new capital projects that’ will go on
the assessment rolls.

We need first-dlass apartmént ac-
commodation for Columbia’ Cellulose
employees who don’t wish to build or
Puy, homes because of possible moves to

Those delegates arguing ag inst a-
partments at council’s meeting last week
emphasized two main_ points: adjoining
property values, would suffer, they say,

this type of accommodation for Colum-
bia river dam construction’ personnel, for
nurses, for ‘teachers and for the staff
that will join the facillty” of the new

built while traffic and parking. probl
would increase.

The strongest case put up by those
: for and against apartments was put up,
in this newspaper's opinion, by the pro-
moter of the
-a lucid, well-prepared and reasoned pre-
‘sentation he indicated point-by-point the
'need for apartment ‘4 dation in

Oak Street apartment, ih.

r here, we need it for
anyone who at the present time can only
‘find one-bedroom basement ‘suites in the
district and who will move to Trail or
Nelson if we don’t provide proper rental
accommodation for them in this com-
munity.

"We can suggest just one approach

Castlegar and made an effective,” case
-for his particular proposal.. He left no
‘doubt but that his apartment wag going
‘to be an asset to the’ village and, to” that
: particular . area of the village, and that
‘it would harmonize with ‘present. homes
‘in the area and thus would not adversley
- affect real estate. values there. ;

"We believe that Castlegar must ‘be
- prepared to take advantage of the prom-
‘ising future opening up to it. We “imtist
‘be prepatéd to welconie riéw. people into
the village, to, provide living accommo-
dation for them, and’ to collect the addi-
: tional ‘school and municipal ‘taxes watér
‘rates, water hook-up “Yeharges; ” water
frontage taxes,” sewerage’ hookup
“charges, sewerage user rates, etc., that
“will help make the present ‘school and
municipal tax loads easier for all ‘of us
