permanent claim-handling facil-
ities were not completed’ by

seadily available right from the

“Let's make it clear that
we anticipate some problems
due mainly to the fact that in
thany places we'll be operating
in temporary facilities," Mr.
Bortnick said.

“In some cases the interim
Dperations will be’ on. sites
here permanent claim centres

ere will be some inconven-
mces—both for motorists and
ur claims people—because of

: “But we're confident that

Folumbians have experienced

“We want to emphasize
that motorists in the province
will have no trouble obtaining
claims,” Mr. Bortnick said.

Mr. Bortnick said ICBC is
establishing drive-in claim cen-
tres because of the convenience
they provide to the motoring
public. However, he said, these
centres are viable only in more
heavily populated areas.

“Seventy-five to 80 per
cent of damaged vehicles are
driveable and can be serviced
through a claim centre in about
30 minutes.”

Ifan insured vehicle is not
driveable due to damage,
Autoplan will make arrange-
ments to have it towed to the
nearest claim centre or repair
facility. Towing charges will be
considered’ part of a claim
arising from an ‘accident.

As you know by now, we changed a fot of things fast
year. We gave you a new relurn, a raat Guide, several new

a few new rules. Ai

tly, we were

more than a little concerned about your reaction to ital.
(And very, very interested in your opinions.)

Well, now that we've had time to really look back at it
and assess it honestly, it appears that most taxpayers did
not seem to find it too difficult. The error rate did not ac-

from former years.

| Generally, most taxpayers seemed to handle their new

returns fairly well.

However, Income Tax will never be the easiest or most
enjoyable thing in anyone's life. And it will always present
problems in some areas, for some people. That's expected

_ and understandable.

So, What we want to do now is really work on those
problem areas. And the best way to do that is to work with
you, individually, on whatever part of Income Tax that causes

you difficulty.

And that’ 's what April Aid is all about. It'sa help system
and its primary objective is to ensure that whenever or
whatever you need help with, you can get it. And know how

to get it.

cently. “This year,” Mr. Meis-
ter told the Castlegar News, “it
is likely’ that it: will only ‘be
possible to fund between 40 and *
50 projects, so the level of
competition should be‘ high.”

The emphasis is on student
summer employment, and at-
tention is. being given to jobs
from the private’ sector. OFY
hopes to fill gaps by concentrat-*
ing on local pockets of high\
student unemployment.:

Gordon Shrum provid an
inside glimpse recently on how
B.C. got involved in its famous
two-river policy that saw
massive power developments
carried out simultaneously on
the Peace and Columbia Rivers,

Mr. Shrum, the former
chairman of B.C. Hydro, made
clear that he was as responsible
as former premier W. A. C,
Bennett ‘for the bold policy,

peaking to about. 50
people at Simon Fraser Univer-
sity's lecture ‘series on tho

Shrum’ publicly recapped his
stormy‘career with Hydro for
the first time since he lost his
job after the 1972 change ‘in
provincial governments,
Ins.the: late’ 1950's the
debate in B.C, was on whether

pushing for the Peace.

Mr. Shrum, as chairman of

In June 1961 terrible news,
for Mr.’ Shrym came through.

“I didn't know what to do

“I wondered whether to go
to South America, or go to

terribly disappointed Mr. Ben-

bring in a report in which he
was all wrong.

“He wouldn't be able to go -

ahead with the Peace because it
had pretty well got down to the

Mr. Shrum.. said \..that;

‘have, caused a great deal of

‘ “50. what he decided was

He added: “Now it turned

The court ruled in fayor of

“It-was a mutually bene-

got skinned,” he said. “Except
for a few minor details I would
declare ‘that a more favorable
treaty to Canada and B,C. could
not have been negotiated at
that time. :

“In some ways it. was
surprising that B.C, came out

B.C.'s ace in the hole was

wielded a powerful influence,
he said. Mr. Bennett di
the negotiations from behind
the scene.

“He had no engineering or
power paca ie Mr. Shrum

sald, “But he had successful
business experience and that
was a great asset at that time.”

Mr. Shrum admitted B.C,
overlooked {wo provisions that
proved costly, First, Mr.
Bennett forgot to include any
provision for escalation of cost,
and second, failed to consider
that the U.S. would convert

largest dam in the world in
storage capacity and increase
production from 1.9 million

still couldn't have negotiated a
better deal,” he suid.
