In the past, taxpayers’ most common error has been to either ignore or calculate wrongly the overpayments on Canada and Quebec pension plans and on unemployment insurance premiums, So the current form leaves that part out entirely. Com- puters will make the calcula- tion. Some of the things to watch for that have been changed in the 1877 form: e Moving expenses are ex- panded to cover legal and other costs of buying a new home, provided a taxpayer has moved Christina Lake Study Taking a New Approach West Kootenay Health Unit is planning to take a new approach when it conducts its annual water quality study of Christina Lake next summer, it BCHC Obliged To Continue Cable Service Rentalsman Barrie Clark recently advised the B, C, Housing Commission that their plans to discontinue the pro- visions of cablevision to Senior Citizen Housing would be a breach of the existing tenancy agreements, Clark said “I am of the opinion that whenever the housing commission has under- taken to supply such a service they must continue to do so for the balance of the particular tenancy. h the 25 miles (about 40 kil or more to take up a new job and sold the former home; eThe amount of capital losses that can be claimed .. against other income has been doubled to $2,000 from $1,000; Contributions to to a housing commission has sup- plied cablevision, whether or not on a bulk supply contract, they are obliged to continue the supply of cablevision as a con- dition..cf the teneney agree. dif ment.” was learned at the December meeting of West .Kootenay Union Board of Health, The board was told by chief public health inspector Mike Harnadek that the new study is in response to the increasing demands being put on the lake as a source of drink- ing water and for recreatioral use, “We've always been par- Ucularly concerned as to what happens around the lake, and this concern will continue as development increases," he said.

Calderbank told the Castle- gar News the only church to respond to the city's invitation was St. David's on 1401 Colum- bia Ave. A St. David's spokes- man told city staff the church bell would be available for ringing “if there were someone all church bells, school bells, ships’ bells .. . so that the sound of resounding bells will be heard in every corner of the province.” In addition to voting to invite local churches to take ~part in the celebration, Moore also participated in a bicenten- nial flag-raising last Thursday (see photo above). Cominco will ask the Work- ers’ Compensation Board to reconsider a 400-per-cent in- crease on a pollution penalty levied for contaminants at its Trail smelter operation, a com- pany spokesman said last week, ‘The WCB announced Tues- day that the penalty will be raised to $26,872 a month from the current monthly rate of $5,378, “We're very disappointed by. the WCB's penalty assess- ment and we're going to ask for reconsideration,” said public relations officer Jim Cameron - in an interview. Meanwhile, a United Steel- workers of America spokes- man said his union, which represents the 2,000 workers at the smelter, is pleased with the + decision. The WCB, which has penal. ized Cominco since August, 1975, for excessive airborne contaminant levels affecting workers at the smelter, an- nounced that the. increase would go into effect on Jan. 1, The action reversed an earlier WCB decision which in March this year lowered the monthly penalty from $30,121 to $5,378 because the board Grand Forks Council __ Votes to Join KBLRA “Grand "Forks. city council” as eeh “RF anu Grate ¥ rs orchey has accepted a from its union negotiation com- mittee that the City of Grand Forks join the Kootenay-Boun- dary Labor Relations Associa- tion. The action came just days before the City of Castlegar last month withdrew from the as- sociation, formed by municipa- lities and.regional districts to participate jointly in contract negotiations with civic em- ployees belonging to the Cana- dian Union of Public Employ- ees, Castlegar rejected the as- sociation's $69,000 provisional budget, as well as 2 request for a further $5,500 from member municipalities to pay a consult- ant to hire a professional negotiator, at a salary of up to $32,000 per year. But according to commit- tee chairman Ald. Carl Wolf- ram, the deal is advantageous for Grand Forks. “Although it will cost more than at present it will eventually save money for the city,” he said. Wolfram said that the . city's anticipated share of the KBLRA budget will be 8.6 per cent and it is felt that Castle- gar's withdrawal from the ‘association will not have much effect on the cost to the other member municipalities.
