MM ROAD SALT EATS AWAY GARAGES. TORONTO (CP) — Road salt dripping off cars is eating away parking garages across Canada and is reaching what one Toronto engineer says is an “epidemic.” John Bickley, considered Canada's top expert on the subject of salt says so weak it falls in, said Yaman Uzumeri, a North York building commissioner who, with Bickley, is part of a 16-member panel of experts looking at improving stand- ards for garage construction. North York has launched it will cost billions to fight deterioration of parking structures, The National Research Council in Ottawa last year estimated it would cost $1.5 billion to repair salt damage to parking garages across the country. But new research shows repair costs in Toronto alone could reach the $1-billion mark, and Bickley estimates the average repair bill at $1,500 for each parking space. Salt dripping off parked vehicles eats away at the concrete below, working itself into frost cracks that expand and leave reinforcing steel rods exposed to corro- sion. IMPROVEMENTS STUDIED “ As these roads disinte- grate, chunks of concrete ‘start, falling off and before long, the structure becomes an agg campaign for all its parking garages and Uzumeri says the initial reports aren't en- couraging. “Some garages inspected are extremely bad,” Uzumeri said.

FOR AIRPORT EXPANSION Transport Canada seeks consultant By DIANE STRANDBERG Staff Writer _Transport Canada is in the process of solecting an "y designs for a planned $6.7 million expansion to the Castlegar Airport building. terminal - Consultants interested in working on the project are “being asked to submit proposals. rt Canada spoke- ‘Transpo: sman Colleen Rogers said Friday a consultant will be chosen “by the middle of September. “The best proposal that we choose will have the best >> schedule and the best mix of trades and professional people involved,” Rogers explained, noting that some regional firms have expressed an interest in the project. 7 Rogers said that between. $128,000 ‘and $160,000 has -reséarch and’ preliminary fect. ae ‘will be expected to gather liformation “The cost was based on the rough square-footage of area needed and the kind of equipment required to handle the flow,” Rogers said. But she added that the figure is only tentative based on in the late 1970s when traffic p the project was first considered. Since 1980, traffic has fallen by almost 25 per cent. Rogers said, however, that expansion will be based on predicted traffic flow in the 1990s. Meanwhile, Rogers says it's difficult to estimate when construction on the project will begin, although she said a possible time frame could see improvements begin in 1985. ‘This would allow a year for preliminary design and a year for confirmation of funds. . “When we try.to come up with a scheduled time frame we have to take into account that we're sompeting wits projects all across the country and Meh yaee falling,” Rogers said. “So it’s kind of .¢ exercise.’ g to ai léd facility. fe EN ae naeovaid was the “ bectute celling” based on figures estimated early Expansion plang eall for an inside baggage’ plek-up'ereb and. restaurant, @ large. waiting area,-more office spare for Pacific.

Utilities Com- mission cut the increase to 4.5 per cent, pointing out that WKPL must take advantage of contract arrangements which would reduce the cost of power to customers.

(CP) — People suspicious of a Cold War streak in Progressive Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney gave him mixed reviews after a Mulroney backs the cruise seriously enough to find time to talk about it. However, he eu not commit himself to initiating a cruise debate half-hour meeting on nuclear issues. Mulroney indicated during the private meeting he will keep an open mind in the nuclear debate and that in itself is reassuring, said Clarence Felderhoff, Pictou Country spokesman for ens Concerned About Nuclear Arms. Paul Cappon, of a group repre- senting more. than 75 Nova Scotia physicians, said Mulroney reinforced his fear that the Conservative party adheres to the hawkish line of U.S, President Ronald Reagan. The Pictou County group was at the forefront of an attempt to make Central Nova constituents and byelec- tion candidates think about nuclear weapons during a campaign heavy on personality and bread-and-butter issues. And the last official day of the campaign for Monday’s byelection marked a successful end to the group's effort to draw Mulroney into a discussion of nuclear affairs. Mulroney, saying the U.S. is Canada’s greatest friend and ally, supports.the federal Liberal cabinet’s decision to allow testing of the U.S. cruise missile in Canada. While the Pictou group is firmly against the testing, members said they were pleased he treated the issue Mulroney is supenes By. by.

BARGAIN FROM STRENGTH In the other federal byelection Monday, Conser- vatives in British Columbia are trying to win back Mission-Port Moody, which they lost to the NDP in 1980. Mulroney said later he will work for a bilateral reduction in nuclear arms but also believes the West must bargain with the Sovicts from a position of strength. Cappon, president of Physicians for Social Respon- sibility, Nova Scotia, was not part of the meeting but was briefed after by the Pictou group. He said the only good thing about what transpired is that a line of comm- unieation was opened with the Tory leader. The doctors group also condemns the federal Liberal cabinet for its apptoval of the cruise testing, he said, but feels that unlike the Tories, Liberals are “in a crisis of conscience, at least those who think, including the prime minister.” He said that was not the case with Defence Minister Jean-Jacques Blais, who said in Central Nova on Friday he is committed to the cabinet decision to allow the cruise tests. continued on poge A2 arsenggnnnnannnangnczna By CasNews Staff Workers at BC Timber's Celgar operations are contin- uing their work to rule cam- paign in a bid to get man- agement to take a second look at local issues. But Rod MacKinnon, Local 1 president of the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada, says the campaign which began Aug. 15 hasn't had any effect on Celgar management. “Management hasn't made = a move at the local level,” = MacKinnon said. He added later, “They're not getting an agreement.” The work to rule campaign means workers refuse to perform jobs other than their regular duties. “It's not an overtime ban, it’s just that the Earlier this summer WKPL employees approved contracts calling for a five per cent wage increase in 1983 and a four per cent hike next year. Commenting on the Celgar work to rule continues is upset about items that were cancelled when the contract expired June 30. MacKinnon is in Vancou- ver as a member of a union ‘negotiating team. He said in an interview Friday that the Canadian Paperworkers Union is refusing to accept the three-year offer from the Pulp and Paper Industrial Relations Bureau, which negotiates for employers. “We've told them outright we don’t want the three-year agreement. The union says’ manage- ment has asked workers to give up four of six statutory holidays.

SAWMILL TO GET FACELIFT By CasNews Staff BC Timber's lumber division has awarded more than $800,000 in contracts for improvements to its Celgar sawmill. Mill manager Al Thornton announced Friday that a Salmon Arm firm, Newnes Industries, has been contracted to complete $723,000 in modifications to the lumber handling systems. As well, $100,000 will be spent on immediate upgrading of the sawmill small log line. “These projects form part of the sawmill's ongoing upgrading program to place the mill in a better competitive position for the benefit of employers and shareholders particularly during a downturn in the market,” Thornton said in a prepared release.
