fi CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Sept. 21, 1961 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Sept. 21, 1961 3 CASTLEGAR NEWS Hund 1 and ‘Forty-Seven INCREASE THE SPEED LIMIT TO 40 Castlegar elementary. school through to Approval of the extension of Cas- tlegar's boundaries last Friday by own- er-electors to include the Sherbiko-So- pow subdivisions brings with it a logical time to reconsider the speed : limits through . the twin’ villages of Castlegar and Kinnaird and through the Sherbiko area. * A 40-mile speed. limit from, say, the the southern boundary of Kinnaird near that village's garbage dump would not seem’ unreasonable provided proper pre- cautions were taken for pedestrian safe- ty through’ Kinnaird and provided the new. postedispeed .limit was rigidly en-. forced iby the RCMP. ° TIME TO ACT ON STREET PROJECTS . As this editorial goes to press the Castlegar council has not-yet held its regular Tuesday night meeting at which _-defeat of. the, village’s proposed: $420,- 000. sewerage bylaw will undoubtedly be discussed. - -We offer these comments,: then, with the full k ledge that a’ y will possibly be carried elsewhere. in this pap- er’ on .Thursday.” ‘reporting that - council on, Tuesday. evening’ may. have made’ some hard and fast decisions on the sew- erage -bylaw with regard to offering it once: again six months from now either in its present form or by shaving “unec- onomic” areas off. it to. make it more at- tractive to village voters from | a dollar and cents point of view. However two important items must be. noted in defeat ofthe bylaw. One of these is that the ‘federal government's of- fer of participation to-the extent of $16,- 000 will not’ be: available unless the by- - law is passed .and the works are com- peted by March 31, 1963,- -an almost as- sured impossibility: under ‘the cireum- stances. The other important-aspect is that of assistance under the winter - works pro- gram. Village commissioners calculated that if work were approved under the winter works program the village would. have re- ceived back, approximately $69,000 in re- bated wages, monies that could have been used to either subsidize sewer con- nection fees’ or havé been used to black- top village streets. It appears almost certain then, that by having defeated the sewerage bylaw by 2 per cent last Friday (voting 58 per cent in favor against the 60 per cent needed to pass), Castlegar owner-electors cost themselves $85,000 in assistance. That’s a lot of money. A $420,000 bylaw will need a large number of changes and talking over, par- ticularly now with a much Jarger village area to.be considered, before village fathers will be able to present a bylaw to the owner-electors that is attractive as the one that was turned down last Fri- day. In light of this the village should not put off any longer improvements to vil- lage streets that ‘have been awaiting otit- come of the sewerage bylaw . presenta- tion. Fifth. Avenue, in particular, should be re-paved as soon. as the works super- visor decides that weather conditions are such that: it’ can be done without: pre- judice to the long-lasting effects of the job ‘and other street projects held off un-. tearing up the beautiful old, red tile floors ‘in legislative corridors, All. night they chipped >and chopped, and by dawn they had created a barren waste — a no- man’s land, ond ‘piled up were in- oleum.squares to‘be laid where once the elegant tiles ‘had been,” Olvil servants were outraged, ‘out they could’ say nothing, for they. are servarits of the govern- ment which ordered this monstrous vandalism on’‘public property, y in the Press Gollesy were equally horrified, but they, un. like the civil. servants could maroh in a-body to see the fountainhead of authority, thé Premier, and this they did. 3 ‘They found: the Premier .sym- pathetic, but he kept down his in- dgnation, because naturally, he did not want it to appear he was feud- ing with his minister of public works, Mr, Chant, -who issued :the tear-up, order, The Premier sent his executive assistant, Dan Ekman to look at the damage, Mr. Ekman “What: hayoo,” afd Mra, “Garton, a ‘Mosa of Loa’Angeles, 3" {Every effort should be made to sustain the’ original | charaoter- of ‘buildings like these,” said-Mr, Moss. | ¥ “You're ‘destroying part of your heritage —‘you're, losing: the: tradi- tion of these buildings.” The time must come, and soon, | when! there must bea commission, .| or Jegislative committee, to pass on changes any structural or historical in public buildings, such as ‘the le- gislative pile and- Government House, For years the Parllament Build. ings have been hammered away at, until one of these fine mornings no one would be surprised to see Capt.
