oppose the rezoning bid.

“Whether their reasons
are totally valid or not, the very
fact that residents of almost an
entire subdivision come before

essentially what we're here for,
to see the ‘wish of the commu-
nity is carried out.”

: Also speaking against the
motion, Ald. Heather Hallett
urged council “reconsider very

CRITICAL OF KENDALL

But Brisco was sharply critical of Kendall,
whose bid for the Kootenay West seat “wasn't a
Liberal campaign.”

“The programs Mr. Kendall ran on had
nothing to do with the Liberal party, his ideas
had nothing in common with the Liberal party,
his policies had nothing in common with the
Liberal party," he said, citing as an example
Kendall's opposition to uranium mining and
nuclear power development while representing
a party which supported the industry.

Asked about Kendall's role as a spoiler in
the race, he said the Liberal's campaign
“probably misled a number of people into
supporting him.”

“The most generous thing I can say about
him is that he was very foolish and very naive,”
the NDP candidate said. ,

He said he was “reasonably satisfied” wit!
NDP gains elsewhere in B.C., although -the
party “got caught in the middle of what often
turns out to be sort of a horse race between the.
two leading contenders.”

Asked whether he would conduct his
campaign any differently if given the chance to
repeat the race, he said the only change “if I
could have found a source of income, would have
been to campaign fulltime for a year-and-a-half
instead of part-time.”

WITHIN TWO YEARS

Although he pointed out he did not seek the
NDP nomination in the election, Kristiansen
said he would “probably make myself available”
in the next three to four months for the
nomination in the election which he expects
within two years.

“I suspect we'll be choosing a nominee
within that period,” he said. “That's up to the
party within the constituency."

Kendall, also contacted late Tuesday,
indicated he too would be willing to let his name
stand again in the next election.

Although falling 2.4 per cent short of the
15-per-cent vote which under the Election Act
would have entitled the Liberal constituency
association to a refund of about $9,000 in
campaign costs, the 33-year-old Ymir tree
planter told the Castlegar News “I've already
told these people ['ll run again.”

“Some people are supportive of me and
those who know me are quite enthusiastic about
getting me in there as their rep ive,” h

“People like a change and the Liberals have
been in government for a long time,” Kendall
said. “Brisco’s done the basic MP work in this
riding very well. He's done it like no-one ever
did before and in many ways he deserved to
win.” é

“T expected to make more gains in the NDP
faction but they're really strong,” he continued.

“They were feeling very enthusiastic after
‘the provincial election and this time they were
able under the Elections Act to run a really
strong federal campaign. The anti-Liberal
feeling really cut me and a lot of the old-time
Liberals probably decided that they just had to
keep the NDP out after such a strong provincial
sweep.” -

Assessing his campaign, he said he was
satisfied with his positions on election issues,
but should have devoted more of his campaign —
which covered small communities throughout
the riding — to the larger population centres.

Early returns showed Kristiansen to be
leading by a small margin, and at one point was

other manner than against jit,”

development for the area.

‘West Kootenay Power
Wants Higher Rates

Citing the rising cost of
providing electric'service, West
Kootenay Power has applied to
the British Columbia Energy
Commission for permission to
increase its rates to its cus-
tomers.

Company executive. vice-
president Joe Drennan said the
company is seeking an imme-
diate interim increase.
interim would be approximate-

ly half the total requested
increase.

Drennan said the interim
would increase the average
residential customer's bill $2.08
to $15.96 per month, based on
consumption of 1,000 kWh. This
works out to seven cents per
day. If the full increase is
granted, the average bill would

$17 per month,

“The same 1,000 kWh costs
aresidential customer $92.51 in
Vancouver, $42.59 in Calgary,
$27.26 in Saskatoon and $33.82
in Winnipeg,” Drennan said.

This is\ West Kootenay
Power's first application ‘for a
general ‘rate increase since
1976. The Energy Commission

is expected to issue an order
soon, establishing the time and
place for public hearings.

In its application, the com:
pany said cost increases in
delivery of electric power, plus
high interest rates, make the
rate increase necessary.

serves more than 67,000 con-
sumers in a 12,000-square-mile
region of southeastern B.C. The

quested rate increase and final-

p-m, and Brisco maintained that lead for the
remainder of the evening.

Kristiansen’s strongest areas were the
rural areas between Nelson and Castlegar plus
the Slocan Valley. i

Kendall won two hospital polls and rural
Rossland.

Phare-Smith, a 32-year-old Nelson house-
wife, received one or two votes in a majority of
the polls. G.

There were 38,441 registered voters in the
riding this election compared to 42,245 in 1974.
Since then the riding has been reduced in size
with the loss of Creston reducing the number of
voters. -

In 1974 Bob Brisco won with 41 per cent of
the vote. Ran Harding of the New Democratic
Party was a close second with 38 per cent. Louis
Maglio, the Liberal candidate, polled 20 per
cent.

In Tuesday’ election, Kristiansen tallied 40
per cent of the vote while Kendall received 13
per cent.

About 75 per cent of eligible voters turned
out at the polls in this election compared with 71
per cent in 1974,

the riding was R. F. Green, who served from
1917 to 1921 as a member of the Government
(Unionist) Party when it was in power. The
second was W. K. Esling, who was a Tory
government MP from 1930 to 1935.
