OTHER RATES RISE Forrest Rogers, chief econ- omist with the Bank of Nova Scotia, said ‘deposit rates have also moved to record highs as banks attempt to attract money. At 18 per cent, the month- ly payment for a $50,000 mortgage to be paid back over 25 years would be $788.19, covering the prin- ciple and interest.

The techniques, he told Superior Court, include mas- sive dosen of the hallu- cingencie drug LSD and “psychic driving sessions." Orlikow is suing the Royal Victoria Hospital, which ad- ministers the institute, for $231,480. The original suit was for $81,480, but an add- itional $160,000 was added Tuesday for damages to compensate for “pain and suffering.” Documents submitted to the court say the institute, headed by the late Dr. Loug- las Ewen Cameron, con- ducted brait hing experi- Intelligence Agency as part’ of a $25-million mind control program to find ways of breaking down enemy agents ant when she learned in 1977 about deuments released un- der the U.

However, taxpayers may be hit with large increases in 1982, In Vancouver, city mana- ger Fritz Bowers said the wage settlement will: add about 37 per cent to the city's 1980 wage bill in 1982. The settlement amounts to $17.7 million in additional expense for the city in 1982. Burnaby treasurer How- ard Karras said Tuesday the $4.36 million the municipality saved by not paying out waged during the strike will be applied to the 1981 bud- get, leaving Burnay taxpay- ers paying a tax increase reduced by 12.5 per cent from what they would have paid had there not been a strike, But even with that break, Burnaby taxpayers are still faced with a general purpose . tax increase of 8.4 per cent, Karras said the wage set- tlement will mean tax in- creases of about 25 per cent in 1982, In other municipalities, of- ficials estimated taxes will rise less in 1981 than pre- viously thought because of the civic workers’ strike.
