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 water rates and wish direction from the [0s he'd last in office; one, Joe taxpayers on the subject, then-the village ana should conduct an organized straw vote members of the House’ rose up in which would be held in the Kinnaird Im- {el wrath, turned their ‘backs ‘on provement Society Hall at a certain date, ‘aiq-marchea out, with great élat- and following ter, shouting: “We are ‘the people.” public méetings where taxpayers could : tL hear-and question elected representatives, when Premier T.

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.
