The chair- man resigned next and this had been p by the Water C dad a result of these efforts, the people of Castlegar today enjoy among the lowest water rates in B.C., an unrestricted supply of water which is matched by few, if any, municipalities, an ade- quate storage tank, a pure unchlorinated source, and insurance rates on dwellings far better than many of our-neighbors, and equal to those pre- vailing in East Trail and other larger centres. Through the efforts of Walter Thorp, the Village of Castlegar made tremendous strides ‘in This performance "sr was viewed with amuse- ment by other Municipalities, with. apprehension by the Department of Municipal Affairs and hum- iation by the people of Castlegar. To a thinking person, this is a clear indica- tion that there was a lack of responsibility and a lack of co-operative ability on the part of those I to work har for the common good of the community. By-law 118, which at the time was intended to replace worn out water pipe and build:a stor- rage“ tank, was .badly mismanaged and over- spent so that there wasn’t enough money left for a storage tank. It was then proposed that we borrow another $200,000.00, that we double the charges for water, and proceed to tear up a per-+ fectly good water system. Some solution. This was three years ago, just before Aage Sylvest was first elected to the Castlegar Council. Upon his election he was given the difficult job. of trying to bring order out of chaos in the water department. Without prior experience,’ and with abuse and distraction from some quarters, he proceeded to do his job, to give the people of Castlegar the best value for ‘their dollar. - His efforts met with outstanding success.

The purchase of a regula- tion garbage compactor is another outstanding accomplishment — at very small cost indeed. The efforts of R. W. Cook in bringing about the ¢6-operation of the CPR., the Department of Highways and the Village in removing the high bank along the highway entering Castle- gar from Trail, has been a major achievement. at small cost, and the new street lights have placed Castlegar in a class by itself. Through the dedicated efforts of today’s Vil- lage Council we have regained the prestige for Castlegar that we richly deserve. Let's not spoil this again. F. C. Gorse has observed the work of this ‘council and with a wealth of experience in the construction field, and a vital stake in this com- munity, has offered his services to assist in the continued good government in the Village of Castlegar.
