Review = ay raises

Whatever
- service?

Castlegar council's decision to
award itself a four perycent pay
raise doesn't seem right,
especially in the present ‘economic
circumstances.

Council justified the increase py
saying it simply matches the wage
hike negotiated with city workers
and administration earlier this

happened_ to public

ear.
In effect, council negotiated an
with its ploy and
then gave itself the same
agreement. That's close to conflict
of interest.

At issue here isn’t the pay raise
itself — the total dollar value of
the raise really, isn't significant
given the city’s multi-million Sellar
budget. y

In fact, the mayor will receive
some $320 a year more. That's
about $27 a month or a little’ more
than $6.50 a week hardly
outrageous. !

Aldermen will each receive
about $185 a year more — only $15
a month or less than $4 a week.
Again, _ that's not really
devastating.

What's the issue here is the way
council awards itself the increases,

By holding up the city employees
as a measuring stick, council is
comparing itself to paid workers.
But the council positions aren't
paid positions; they jare intended.
-to:- be public-service positions. The
pay —the -mayor —and--aldermen
receive is supposed to be an
“honorarium”.
It's like comparing an amateur
athlete with a professional.
i council is. paid han-
hey mayor receives
more than $8,000 a year and the
aldermen more than$4,700.

Worked out in terms of an hourly
wage rate, the honorarium
probably doesn’t even meet the
minimum wage in this province —
but then council posi
d to be paid p 5

And while there is no doubt
work on council is demanding and
the people in those

devote countless (and often
thankless) hours to the job, they
don't do it for the money — or at
least aren't supposed to.

Council should review its recent
pay hike and perhaps take a cue
from the Castlegar school board
which has been without an in-
crease for,five years.

No formal request

An editorial in last Sunday's
Castlegar News said the City “of
Castlegar’s volunteer fire depar-

destroyed muck ot the Doukhabar
Village.

In fact, the fire department
never received a formal request
- for aid, but was informed of the
fire. :

As the’ editorial stated,
Castlegar council has a policy of
not attending fires outside city
boundaries. In this case; council
reaffirmed that policy to fire chief

Bob Mann on the morning of the
fire. The fire i

PIERRE MARC JOHNSON

dorsing the 1982 Constitution under

with the majority of PQ members who
decided last winter to shelye sov-

Johnson has been singled out as the
force behind the turnaround, which led
to the departure of many hardline

years in Quebec City.

A dedicated family man, Johnson is
often seen taking his two children to

mousse. And, he is often seen enjoying
a late night dinner on trendy Laurier.

father's ambiguous stand on Quebec's
future.

Johnson dismisses the analogy,
saying his father’s slogan was from
another era. Asked to spell: out. his
position in an interview with The
Canadian Press, Johnson was vague:

“I can't getit (sovereignty) out of my

heart, inas much as I know that if I had
to choose one day - . . if the only way in
«which Quebec can develop itself would
be sovereignty, I wouldn" t hesitate two

. But as if to soften this, Johnson
quickly added: “I don't believe that it is
the only’ way. in which we can develop
ourselves.” ~ :

As he told:the Montreal daily Le

he tried not to appear too eager to take
over, he was labelled heir apparent in
the Quebec media. : -

‘Johnson appears to be

ambiguous stand on

Asked how he differs from Leves-
que, Johnson quips, “I smoke less.”

Never a fiery speaker or an
innovator, Johnson still dominates the

natural charm and good looks; and the
distinction of being both a doctor and

former clientele of teachers, bureau-
crats and union activists. ”

In interview, Johnson is cautious and
wordy, covering his mouth and strok-

delays in reform to the Coroner's Act,
which forces suspects at inquests —
under the glare of television cameras —
to testify against themselves pr face a
prison sentence for contempt of court.
A revised law was passed 18 months
ago to end abuses, but Johnson still
hasn't brought it into effect.

Architects, designers, en-
gineers, contractors and sub-
contractors — most of them
from the West Kootehay
met in Castlegar this week
with representatives of the
Doukhobor Benevolent Soci-
ety and Ministry of Lands,
Parks and Housing to discuss
guidelines for the construc-
tion of a 10-unit senior citi-
zens housing complex.

The Thursday morning
meeting was to allow trades-
men to see the site — located

at the corner of 2nd Street
and 11th Avenue — and to

through the guidelines.
Under, the program, the

“ment, said ministry spokes-

man Dick Roberts; of Cran-
brook.

The proposal contains fea-
tures the society wants to see
in place included in the se-
niors complex, in addition to
standard features.

Representatives from the
City of Castlegar and area
utility Companies also at-
tended the meeting to go

i a 25 per
cent capital grant in the
amount of $73,750. ‘The’ pro-
vincial government will buy
the land and lease it to the
society. The federal govern-
ment will provide a low-inter-
est loan to assist the society
with mortgage payments.

Roberts said tWe province
will also help with operating
subsidies. Tenants will not
have to pay more than 30 per
cent of their income for rent,

or the going rental rate.

Deadline for design prop-
osals is Oct. 1. After this
time, the society and Carmen
Biafore, a technical consul-
tant hired as part of the cost
‘of the project, will look over
the proposal and then award

Roberts says that after the
proposal deadline, the society
has 60 days to decide on a
contractor. But he added that
he is hoping the decision
won't take that long.

Cities feeling the pinch

By The Canadian Press
When the Ontario cities of
~.Kanata and St. Catharines
awoke to the recent reali-
zation that much of their
money was tied up in two
financially crumbling banks,
they weren't alone in tS%ir
misery.

A smattering of other mu-
nicipalities and institutions
across the country. found
themselves in similar straits.

While the federal govern-
ment has promised to even-
tually bail out investors in
the failed Canadian Com-
merecial Bank and has frozen
the assets of the Northland

Bank of Calgary,. some in-
stitutional and municipal in-
vestors affected are wonder-
ing what to do in the short,
term:

-The city of Dartmouth,
N.S., has $2 million invested
with Northland; Red Deer,
Alta., has $4.4 million in Can-
adian Commercial; and Sur-
rey has $4.5 million in Can-
adian Commercial and $5.7
million in Northland.

Among other groups, the
Manitoba Teachers Society
invested $370 million in em-
ployee benefit funds in Can-
adian Commercial.

At least two municipalities
— Kanata and St. Catharines
—are feeling the pinch. Kan-
ata has already slashed $1.6

- million in capital projects and
operating expenses and St.
Catharines officials fear -a
steep jump in property taxes
may be necessary to offset its
loss.

spokesman said the province

Most institutional, inves-

For example, Dartmouth's

Surrey, a Vancouver sub-
urb, bought certificates of
deposit in both troubled
banks and Mayor Don Ross
said the ,$10.2-million total
represents about 10 per cent
of the municipality's invest-
ment portfolio.

“It would not be a severe
blow to our investment port-
Ross said. “We would
still realize about $1.2 million
(on payout of the bank's as-
sets) and although it would
hurt, it would not cripple us.”
CAN RECOVER DEPOSITS

Surrey Credit Union, with
67,000 members, has $10 mil-
lion in Northland, chief exe-
cutive Wayne Carpenter
said. About $2.5 million in
deposits is recoverable but
the remaining $7.5 million is
in a debenture and that could
pose a bigger uncertainty.

West Vancouver. has ‘$1.3 ~

million’ in Northland, and
finance director George Hor-
wood said $1 million is in

term deposit earning $267 a
day with Oct. 25 the maturity
date, and the balance in
separate deposits earning
$80 a day maturing Sept. 18.

The freeze on Northland
will not: hamper: the muni-
cipality's operations, he said.

Burnaby, also a Vancouver
suburb, has $3 million in
Canadian Commercial, but fi-
nance director Nick Bohan
said the federal government
assured the municipality that
“the principle is secure but it
won't be earning interest: as
of Sept. 1, 1985.”

Metropolitan Toronto has
$4.9 million short-term
investments in Northland
while the City of Toronto has
$5.7 million and its East York
neighbor $2 million. Metro
also put $58,000.in Canadian
Commercial.

Toronto stands to lose up
to $40,000 a month in interest
on its investment while Met-

and East York $15,000 a
