CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Sept. 16, ,1965 CASTLEGAR. NEWS | “ptere let the press the neoplo’a rights » unawed by m by gate” Established in Nineteen Hundred . and Forty ae Paid and Registered Figures Different A former Robson resident whose’ pro- perty has been purchased by B.C. Hydro informed the Castlegar News last week that the prices paid by B.C. Hydro for properties in connection with the Colum- bia development and the prices registered by the Authority in the land registry of- dice at Nelson differ. In the property transactions check- ed by this individual, he found the differ- ences between the prices reported by pro- perty owners to him as having. been paid for their’ properties by Hydro and the prices registered at Nelson by the Auth- ority differed — in the few cases he checked — by between $500 and $1,500. that non-resident owners . (those with sum- mer homes, etc.) were receiving \distur- bance allowances out of proportion: to those paid permanent residents who. liv- -ed: year-round in their homes, One way for B.C. Hydro to clear up any misunderstandings or ‘difficulties in this matter would be'to disclose to pro- and it His is that the differerice ‘is the “disturbance, ‘allowance’ paid by. Hydro and that the figures registered by the Authority at the land registry: office represents the ro ket value’ of the properties. It is this individual’s further view that the differences (or disturbance allow-. ances) are not — again in the few cases he checked — equitable. It was his opinion VICTORIA REPORT ete. perty owners the price they: are offering for properties per: se ‘and .what the dis- turbance, allowance: is, This ‘would . have ‘the double effect of not only keeping the. actual ‘property offers in better perspec- * tive but :would: also,: hopefully, make’ the Authority’s. disturbance allowances take into better ' consideration the ‘individual valid, diff such lengh of tenancy on property and in’ area, IE the difference between the regis SUGAR AND ‘SPICE ee ee tered,” figure and that paid a. property owner. is indeed the disturbance: allow- ance factor, then a property owner has a right to this information before he ac- cepts ‘an offer and not after an agreament has been signed. : as age, size of family, By dames K Nesbitt Yet Another Election Now Upon :Us an’ election.

Oh well, we can. have another election. We . are. used to then E Canadians, by and large, have been ang, by an loyal to their “Prime ‘Ministers. Our first, Sir John A; Macdonald; in two terms, was in office for. 19 years. Above: him is Wil-: liam* ‘Lyon / Mackenzie’. King, who, in three terms, had 22 years, Sir Robert Borden was. A office nine -years and Louis “St. Laurent: for nearly’ 10."

They smile readily and move at an unhurried pace and life’ seems more restful than in Vancou- ”* Cities do seem to’ have some: personalities ‘of their own. Butte,, in Montana, ref- lects the Cornish people’ who made up such a large part of its population in’ the’ jear! days, days: when the ‘demand for miners caused an exodus from Britain to the great cop. per mines of Monta!

They seem to ‘be more careful of their appearance and to .carry themselves better than those in.the country but - it is distressing to see people in. the ‘slum areas’ with their drab clothes and an obvious air. of semi-starvation which shows in their emaciated figures. Too many people, it: would seem, live: miserable lives. It would probably be an eye-opener: for those who so readily demand that those on relief -be made. to work to see these people. There are many, who for .physical reasons can not work and there are those, who look hale and hearty. ana yet have no capacity for work and there are others who have A Good Paper Takes Time “A good town newspaper is not the product of chance.
