“Time after time they fai

When asked Tuesday why
council is considering’ res-
cinding the bylaw allowing
First City to rezone the com-
merical property for a mall,
MacBain replied, “Why do we
have to keep that bylaw on
the books if First City hasn't t
done anything?”

However, he noted the
move to rescind the bylaw is
only a recommendation and
hasn't been app: d yet.

Then council's

would allow First City to re-
