One Man's: Opinion
Take Transportation

By Fred Merriman

Wants Land.
Removed From

‘Gov't Freeze
Land owners in the Koot-

My pet peeve of transportation. I cannot find a
place to park. There is a steady stream of traffic on 7th
Ave, and Columbia . . . and according to the senior
information officer at.the Dept. of Highways, more
than one billion gallons of gasoline and diese! fuel was
consumed in British Columbia in 1975,

The provincial government estimates gasoline tax
revenue for 1977 at $176 million which, interestingly

: enough, almost exactly equals the amount they intend

to spend on highway building and maintenance,

Transportation is big business supreme. People.
have’ this great need to move around from palce to
place and the favorite way is by automobile, I'am
worse than most people, because I have two cars and,
if Thad my way, I would also own a four-wheel drive
truck and a van and a motorcycle and a motorhome,
Somebody out there has found our need and is filling
it. I think it is unfair,

When is someone going to come up with away to

the

enays are constantly asking for,
release ‘of property from, the
provincial agricultural land re-
serve, which was imposed .by
the NDP government to save
farm land in B.C.

While the regional district.
took: part in drawing up the”

agricultural plan for this area,
it does not involve itself in ap-
peals to the land commission.
Applications for release are re-
ceived by the. district and
passed directly on to the com-
mission, ;

Citizens wishing to object
to any application should make
a submission direct to the land

move people about without them di
environment, health and most certainly their wallets?

I checked with the gasoline bulk stations in
Nelson last year and was amazed to find that $4 million
of gasoline was used in that city. Castlegar cannot be
far behind. Yet everybody is pleading poverty and
cutbacks,

I contend that if Merriman and others like me
would park the hungry beasts or turn them over to the
junkyard and either walk or take a bus, we would all
be richer and healthier and.happier for it. Just one
small problem, though. The trantportation (auto-
motive business) is so big, we are all working for it. If
we all stopped driving, the wheels of Detroit and
Tokyo would grind to a halt and we would be walking ~
the bread lines. . :

I -can see only a gradual solution to the problem:
car pooling, rental car clubs, alternative transporta-
tion, Fred Merriman selling one of his cars.and more .
bicycle paths, The most effective way, I know, to stop
the Giant is by cutting off the gasoline supply. Raising
the price of gas will not slow the Giant because he isa
thirsty beast and you tell me how we can possibly keep
ourselves from drinking.

I don't want to spoil your day, but in my opinion,
itis big business and we are all part of that business, I
was surprised to see that none of the major: oil
companies pay'income tax and that they are good
contributors to the national political parties. But the
thought does frighten you when you realize that the
automotive industry and the related oil business 5 so
big nobody can stop it but Mother Nature when she
