_g Form Letters are Straw in the Wind

; The Kinnaird council has all but ap-
= proved a form letter which will be sent
‘to village residents with self-add d re-

‘ply envelopes. The letter will quiz resi-_

dents about the water situation in indivi-
dual homes in the village and will inquire
about such things as whether or not
k holders are obtaining their drinking

-water from sources outside the village.

i The form lettter, which is expected
to receive final approval at. council’s
meeting next Monday. night, will possibly
ask-residents if they would be prepared
to pay an increase of $1 a month in water
rates to cover the cost of developing a
well-type water supply for the village.

* Such a query has no place on a form
letter.

It has no place on it for the simple
fact that the interpretation placed on
the returns could vary considerably from
true feelings in the village on the subject.
Questions concerning individual situations
such as where drinking water is obtain-
ed and what complaints residents have
about the taste of the water are all leg-
itimate material for such a questionaire.
A straw vote on taxpayer feelings about a

rate increase, however, should be based
on more than a mailed form which resi-

dents may, for a variety of reasons, fail

to return to the village office.
If council members are themselves
unable to assess the true feelings of re-

sidents about how they regard higher politics, a Premier never knew how

Castlegar Water for Kinnaird Use?

Several months ago Castlegar’s then
village chairman, N. T. Oglow, flew a kite.
He suggtsted that Castlegar, in its well
water supply, has sufficient capacity to
supply the Village of Kinnaird with water
and if that village is interested, perhaps

a alt
could be made for selling Castlegar water
to Kinnaird.

Kinnaird council didn’t officially com-
ment on the kite and Castlegar council
hasn’t approached its twin village about
the subject. However, the idea certainly
has merit if the residents of Kinnaird and
that village’s municipal council; decide
that an alternative water supply is desired
for theiz village. If they, however, decide
that while an alternative supply is de-
sirable, it isn’t entirely financially pos-
sible, then the suggestion of buying water
from Castlegar has even more merit.

There is one aspect of the situation,
though, that commends the idea to ser-
ious ‘study at this time. This is brought
about by the fact that the Sherbiko sub-
division is now a part of Castlegar. As a

Donation to UBC

The one million dollar bequest to the
University of B.C. by former lieutenant-
governor Charles A. Banks does honor to
his name and great good to the people of
this province.

In terms of such private endowments,
our provincial university is one of the
poorest in the nation. In part, this may
be because it is relatively young. But part
of the blame may also rest on the failure
of university leaders to sell the lasting
benefits of establishing educational foun-
dations to wealthy citizens.

The endowment disclosed in Mr.
Banks’ will is the first million-dollar one
in UBC's history. And despite the fact
that the income from the bequest is re-
stricted to student aid, it is an example
to others of wealth and position in the-
community.

UBC leaders are alert to the prob-
lem. They are actively providing infor-
mation on the need for and importance
of private endowments.

An. important sid for

‘ation

result of the incorporation of. the Sher-

biko into Castlegar,
Castlegar and Kinnaird now touch each
other. Sooner or later’ Castlegar is going
to run a $30,000 water main out to the
Sherbiko area.

By selling water to Kinnaird, Cas-
tlegar could pay the full cost of this main.
By realizing that Castlegar is going to
eventually have to install this main, Kin-
naird could bargain and negotiate on a
price for water that might, say, realize
the Village of Castlegar a good portion
of this sum and thus would help to pay
for the main.

Both the finance chairman of Kin-
naird and the finance chairman of Cas-
tlegar are hard-headed men who like
good—but fair—deals for their villages.
Between the two of thém these two men
just might, if they were to give joint
study to this suggestion, come up with
proposals to their respective councils
that could be mutually advantagious to
both villages. :

Sets an Example

would-be donors is the Canadian tax law
which provides that gifts for charitable
or educational purposes, or for the estab-
lishment of a foundation, must be made
three years before death if the gifts are
to be tax-free,

Today UBC endowments total less
than $2 million, By contrast McGill ap-
proaches $50 million. And even McGill's
success pales when compared with endow-
ments of U.S. universities.
