would like. to see them covered
“in more detail.”

Mr. Smith, who heads the
gxoup’s water committte, said “I
can only apologize for not bring-
ing in a report tonight” so that

members “wouldn't be so in the
dark” before passing a motion
on the subject.

A motion proposed by Mur-
ray Little that the Ratepayers
“go on record” og belng im “dis-
agreement” with council on its

decision not to hold a public
meeting on the water agreement
with. Celgar before it is signed
was passed.

In a discusstoon on the fron-
tage tax, Mr, Maddocks said
“We're buying a pig in a poke.”
He said that the December, 1958
water bylaw, was defeated be-
cause confusion was caused
amongst the voters by council
splitting on the subject of the
bylaw three days before it was

voted on, Council up to that time Mr.

said. Mr." Maddocks,’ had all sup-
ported it,

That ‘bylaw, said Mr. Mau-
docks, made provision tor ‘a trun-

He.said that when a Rate-

cil an expenditure of $5,000 was
the figure given tor concrete

Then, at a
meeting, Comm, V. R. Vook said
the expenditure would be $2,000
and that this figure had’ been
set at a council meeting before
the ome the delegation attend.

Now,’ said Mr, Richardson,
couhci: has decided not to pro-
ceed with the concrete bleachers.
Mr, Smith read a press clipping
which quoted parks chaixman
Walter Thorp as teiling counu
that the cost of bleachers “will
be much more than we thought”
and that council had decided not
to build the

In a discussion on ‘the turn-
out. of people: at Ratepa’ ‘payer.
meetings. R, A. Moffatt said “I
think the people of -Castlegcr
@re very, very foolish if they
don’t come out” .to _ meetings.
“People don't seem interested in
their own business,” he noted.

Mr Maddocks noted later’ in
the meeting that/"The fact people
don’t turn up isn’t always an in-
dication that people aren't iiter-
ested,”

-. In a discussion on the duties
of the village's work supervisor,
(Mr. Moffatt asked “can one man
de alt these things” He said wor-
ks supervisor Norman MdNabb is
the ‘building inspector, parking
inspector, and has many other
responsibiilties including “issu-
ing dog tags.”

Mr, Moffatt said he would
like to see how. many parking
tickets were handed out in a six-
month. period by the former
parking inspector and how many
have been handed out in a sim-
ilar period by Mr McNabb to see
af Mr, McNabb is able to devote
enough time to his duties.

.but to fix the present bleachers.
Mr, Smith also noted that
Comm. Thorp had said many
homeowners in the vicinity of
the park have objected to the
construction of permanent blea-
chers and that Mr, Thorp has
agreed to meet with those home-
owners at a private meeting.
Mr, m said he had
phoned homeowners in the area
of the park and only one . per-
son said they had contacted Mr.
Thorp. It appears, said Mr.

.|Rachardson, that council paid no

atténtion to the Ratepayers when
they objeced to the bleachers
but had paid attention to one
person in the area,

Murray Little said he “wouldn't
attack them so strongly on the
‘figures’ .without Knowing the
period of time over which coun-
cil was to spend the $5,000. He
said that the $5,000 may be a
total expenditure on the park of
which the bleachers were only a
part,

“I don't say they're on

Dads who are on the right track

Mr. said that any
revenue from parking tickets
goes to the RCMP and that the
village collects the fines only for’
‘the convenience of the public,

He said that he did feel
that the works supervisor has too
many jobs an@ that it would be.
& good situation to look into. He
gaid he was concerned with the
question of traffic conrol on Sat-
urday. afternoons when children
are going to the matinee,

- Mr. Richardson’ said that
perhaps the Civil Defence Police
Force could be used for traffic
control on days on which traffic
is extra heavy.

* Mr. Moffatt raised the ques-

tion of dogs in the village not
being licenced. He said that many
people, “including myself,” have
not taken out licences for their
dogs.

Otto Anderson said that he
had the village chairman to his
home. to see the damage caused
by dogs. Mr, Smith ‘said that
damage is caused by. licenced
dogs as well as by uniicenced

During a discussion on coun-
cll’s decision that the fire chief
could not. answer fire ‘cails out-

equipment out of the village if a
life. is in danger, Mr. Richardson
said the fire chief told the first
Ratepayer meeting that he -did
not want that responsibility.

Frank Woodrow said the chief
said at that time that he would
go out in his own car but he
didn't want the responsibility

of taking equipment out of the
village.

Mr. Little said that the fire
chief isn't elected by the peopie,
but council-is. It is council and
not the fire chief who should
take the responsibility for send-
ing equipment out of the village
limits. is

- Mr. Smith said that council

it felt it represented the people
and that most of the people
agreed with council's policy on
the subject.

(Mr. Maddocks said the peo-

tection in their own area: ther
are the people of Castlegar who
don’t live out there,

He said that if council lets

exactly where the equipment can

Chairman Answers Critics

On Celaar Wafer Agreement

Sylvest Says Gravity Water.
System is ‘Not Economical’

Criticisms’ of Castlegar’ 'S proposed agreement with
Celgar on water were answered at Tuesday night’s council
meeting, by village chairman‘N. T. Oglow and water chair-

man Aage Sylvest. *-

“It is‘ too bad that certain
people continue to make irres-
Ponsible assertions and deal’ in
half-truths and distortions” in
speaking of the agreement, said
Mr. Oglow in a prepared state-
ment read into the village re-
cords.

“However, freedom of spee-

ference ‘between ' fact and fic-

carried’ on between Celgar and
Castlegar ‘since 1952, when be

“The Celgar people were
very receptive and sympathetic
to our problem and as a first
step agreed to share in the cost
of: a. survey of the Blueberry
Creek-Sheep Lake area for a wa~
ter source.

“This survey was carried out
and Castlegar applied for a re~
servoir on this water shed, whici
