CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, March 17, 1960 Kinnaird Votes on Subdivision (continued from page one) Rust sald that although the num- ber of homes, had increased by about 40 in the period from 1955 hy to 1959, costs of water service had more than doubled, This meant that power, wages, ma- terials, ete, had increased far more than the 40 additional homes would account. for, Mr.?Rust stated the bylaw was projected for a three year Period, and it was hoped to wind up each year. with an approxi- mate surplus of nine or 10 thou- sand dollars. This would cover minor repaits and a possible lar- ger pump which are not includ-|, ed in the bylaw. The finance chairman point- ed out while Bylaw No, 123 does not call for new mains ir the Du- mont areg, are needed, but could be handled from gen- ‘eral revemue, Mr, Loeblich said engineer- ing costs had caused concern to the ratepayers and in this conr- nection he would call on a Kin- » naird resident well qualified to speak on the plans for the water system as drawn up by the firm bid, but it is a standard set oy ‘Invite to. the Hy about 10 per cent. ~ BR. Williains, a civit engineer told the from page one) “ . Fire chief Rene ‘ked the B.C, Fire ne had studied the plans and-felt them to be’ adequate. He felt Assdclated Engineers had pre- sented a “masterly reoprt” and pointed out is is a well known firm throughout B.C. Mr, Williams said the village has outgrown the old water sy- stem and “everyone agrees we need better water service.” To have satisfactory service he poin- ted- out, it must be designed, carried- out and constructed un- der the supervision of compet- ent authorities, He went on to illustrate se- veral examples where correct. installation would have saved re- pair expenses, although no blame was attached to those laying the first lines, as ‘they were not de- signed to serve a growing vil- lage. Mr. Williams felt the engin- eering fees wcre reasonable and fair. ‘This is not a competitive Education Staged at. During Education Week the attendance of parents at the “Op- en Houses” at Brilliant School and at the Robsen School was most gratifying. ‘The parents show a keen in- terest in the progress of their _ children and cooperation between parents and teachers was quite evident, More interest was: shown on Friday evenimg when a short educational program was © put on in the Robson Community hall. “The hall was filled to cap- aeity with parents who showed their delight by their response to numbers by the various grades. These numbers included actioh ‘tor, Program Robson songs, marches, games, choral speaking, dancing, a shore play and songs by the older grades. Especially’ pleasing was the grade six debate on “B,C. should join the USA.” Peter Ozerdfft and Brian Belbeck were the af- firmative and Kathy Giraud and Julie Konkin were the negative. Evelyn Hunter was the modera- ‘Wher the ballots were coun- ted the negative won by a small majority.’ Virgina Lebedoff of grade six was MC for the occas- ion. The teachers expressed their pleasure to the parents for turn- ing out and for their interest. HL. Hyson, who was sick and unable to attend, sent his regrets. Underwriters advised in all pro- pability Kinnaird could get low- ‘er insurance rates with the new system installed. Several questions were dis- cussed on the water bylaw fol- towing which the matter of vil- lage boundary extension was brought before the meeting. This bylaw, No. 144, covers a petition to incorporate some 25 acres.at the north end of the village, across the CPR Railway, and bordering on the south bank ot Merry Creek. .

M. Macbeth, The « High Arrow-Murphy Creek debate’ is “a red herring thrown out to get us fighting,” said Mr, Anderson, The “ulterior motives are beyond those in the | ™ news.” ‘He sald the question was one of private. power versus, public power. “Certain private interests are running back and forth to Victoria,” Mr. Anderson charged. He said he had “no quarrel” with Peace Power “because it will be of benefit to B.C.,” but water, sewage, disposal system, blacktop roads, street lights, etc. Revenue from the subdivi- sion will go to the village cof- fers, and will be used to purchase the utilities, over a five-year period. Mr. Loeblich explained in this way'the village would, reap the benefit of having the *subdi- vision on’ the taxroll, while ‘not a penny” would be expended from the rerhainder of the vil- lage. Celgar plans to build 10 six- dwelling rental units, amd there will be 68 lots for sale, When this is completed in say, two years, the assessment will equal that of the entire . village as at present. a Mr. Rust said tax revenue would likely be about $311,987 general and about $12,692 ‘for school taxes and he felt some $20,000 would come in to the village as direct revenue, He stressed the fact this ap- pears to be. greatest opportunity to come to the Village of Kin- naird, and if it is not taken up by Kinnaird, some other area oy ‘municipality will reap the benefit, as these facilities must come under municipality admin- PAINT SUNSHINE INTO YOUR HOME.
