MERGER IDEA SOUNDS Goon -

Tieing in with our ‘thema of two weeks ago ‘stres-
“sing the need for district unity, comes the welcome
news that the. pros.and cons of amalgamating ‘Cast-

* fegar, Kinnaird and Robson’ into one district munici- e

pality, are getting some..serious consideration.

Castlegar jand-. District; Chamber: of |. Commerce’, has"

named ‘a special ‘committee: to ‘study this possibil

ity: .
and to}recommend what action if any,’ the Chamber

should: take. © 69.027); &
Whatever the comrhittée’ | ecatcinondatione wil

be, the suggestion’ seems a, good. one. Castlegar, and.

Kinnaird,” at least, ‘if their individual expansion’ con-
tinues as nearly, everyone agrees should be the case,
will eventually merge: into one community under,
one government. is only about.a‘mile of.
organized ‘territory’ between,, their, respective bord

tion for: such action. from residents of the ‘unorgantz
ed" area. The merger of: the ‘two villages’ into.
municipality, ‘might be effected with less, difficulty ani
