Letter to the Editor
’ Editorials Provided
Food for Thought

Dear Sir:

You are to be highly commend-
ed on your editorial in last week's
paper along with the reprint edi-
torial from the Vancouver Province.

Your comments regarding the
money bylaw and the two resolu-
tions ‘which the municipal repre-

jsentetives would indeed like to have

from the health are our
schools and our hospital. Handling
the large quantities of sewage that
they do, it 1s- hardly surprising that
their septic tanks, crippled by in-
effectual disposal fields, are a ne-~
ver-ending source of trouble.

Your school board sind hospital
board are doing all within. their
power to keep thelr disposal facll-
ities operating properly. How much
longer must they or can they con-
tinue to fight this unequal battle?
Can you put & price tag’on the
health of your children? Can we
afford to hinder the healing work
of our doctors and nurses?

It is ironfo that immediately

the

yote the huspital septic tank burst
through the ground with a foun-
tain of obnoxious effluent. The cost
of maintaining these septic tanks
and disposal fields is gontioucus
and considerable,

You, the taxpayer, ze
in these costs, What is “mote alar-

the approve,
‘bears a great deal of merit.

Taxpayers who are vitally in-
terested in the administration of
municipal affairs certainly must
have derived much “food for thou-
ght” from the editorials,

‘When © taxpayer goes to the
poll to vote, he exercises his demo_
cratic right FOR OR AGAINST the
issue in question, Why then should
municipal representatives try to
usurp the taxpayers rights?

A clear majority polled is the
only proper deciding factor, and if
polling is allowed to be abused and

+ |flaunted, then the taxpayer is no

longer.an elector and his purpose
as such has been defeated,

‘Where money expenditures are
entailed the taxpayers voice should
be the final decision, Why should
the municipal fathers be given
autonomy to spend our money?
What a sorry mess this could lead
to if the voter lost his rights and
control of his pocketbook, And he

wuld be well advised to keep this
in mind when casting his ballot.
“Any fool can spend someone else’s
money.””
