BAND ‘presents the BURNABY CENTRAL STAGE BAND, SWING CHOIR & CONCERT BAND IN EXCHANGE CONCERT Monday, May 28 SHSS GYM 8 p.m. ADULTS 75c STUDENTS 50c the highways department as- sumes responsibility for a CPR crossing. The railway company wrote Castlegar council at its meeting last week advising aldermen that the crossing behind the Kosy Kottages is not a public crossing and unless the town entered into an agreement with the company on it the CPR will arrange to have it closed. The company refused to enter into the jurisdictional dispute as to whether the town or highways department should assume responsibility for the crossing, reporting that “it appears to: have been esta- blished by and is being used by the Town of Castlegar.” Ald. Carl Henne said the only use made of the crossing by the town is to check the water tank located near it. He said works supervisor Alex Lutz discussed the matter with the town's works crew and employees are ‘prepared to walk to the water tank anytime they need to check it.

No further information has been made available, Council Hears Mail Complaint House-to-house mail deli- very was only two days old last week when Castlegar council received a complaint from a resident. Postmen won't deliver to Bill Merilees of Chickadee Lane because hia fs the only house on the street. :Mr. Merilees apparently had an earlier underetanding with the postal department that delivery would be made to the closest point on his property and he installed a mail box on the edge of his property. Now the post office wants him to use a group mail box. Mr. Merilees lives in the Castle-Bar Subdivision, but his house is located at the foot of the mountain, Ald. Ed Mosby said there is a 40-yard rule which says that if a house is back 40 yards or more from the street, then the mail box must be located at the street. As well, if a street has only one house on it, then the postman doesn't have to make delivery. Ald. Mike Livingstone reported he hadsto move his mail box because of a rule that postmen will not go down more than 15 steps to deliver mail. Aldermen agreed these rules were not made by the postal department, but rather have been written into a union agreement between the gov- ernment and the postal work- ers union. Nonetheless, 2 letter will be sent loca} postal officials asking for comment on Mr. Merifees’ complaint.
