The Robson-Raspberry area is not the. only, Centra Kootenay community facing a Nov. 18 fire protection referen- ‘dum. 2. The ‘Regional: District of ‘Central Kootenay last Saturday _ gave three readings toa bylaw.

September, Ald. Albert Calder- bank said the $1,205,270 in- crease over the corresponding 1977 total of 197 permits repre- sented “a very, very healthy “situation.”

“It shows a lot of people have confidence in the city,” he said.

According to the building permits report presented to council, the issuance of $277,760 worth of permits in September reflected a drop in value of $42,397 from the 1977 figure although the number of permits issued increased from 20 to 23.

After the council meeting the works and services com- mittee chairman noted the city has issued $252,216 worth of permits for industrial construc-

tion so far in 1978, compared to, the same time in-1977_when no.

‘The bylaw, which has been forwarded along with the bylaw for the Robson-Raspberry ref- erendum to the municipal af- fairs ministry for - approval, would enable Area I residents to vote’ for or against fire protection at a maximum cost of three tax mills.

Asked Tuesday to explain why fire protection in Robson- ‘Raspberry would require a tax load of 12 more mills than ‘Area I—northeast of Castlegar —RDCK deputy treasurer Vera Kalmakoff told the Castlegar News the net taxable value of Area I is substantially higher.

She said Robson-Rasp- berry, which represents only a portion of Area: J, has a mill rate of about $2,000. while one mill in. Area I generates $14,226.

Council to Rocomeider Fall Cleanup Cut

City council members post- poned Tuesday an announce- ment that Castlegar's regular fall cleanup would. be dis- continued this year.

A motion by Ald. Albert Calderbank, works and services committee chairman, that the city advertise there would be no fall cleanup—in which heavy debris and trash is included in regular garbage pickup—was tabled after Ald. Len Embree criticized the decision not to offer the service.

Calderbank said the deci- sion to discontinue the cleanup

and save $2,000 to $3,000, was

“It's getting ‘more and more costly and difficult to do,” he said. “And we feel we have an exceptionally good dump that is local.”

Embree said he did not remember the decision to elimi- nate the fall cleanup from the budget and added his concern was-not the availability of the Ootischenia refuse site but the residents without transporta-

Warehouse To Relocate

In Castlegar

A Columbia Brewing Co. official confirmed Tuesday that the firm will move its Nelson warehouse operation to Castle- gar at the end of October.

The move will mean the 10 men who man Columbia ware- houses in both Trail and Nel- son will either have to relocate or commute to work, said Terry Bastable, director of distribu- tion for Labatt Breweries Ltd., of which Columbia is a division.

Bastable said the move is designed to centralize the firm's operations in West Kootenay.

The new production ware- house in Castlegar will employ eight workers from the Trail and Nelson warehouses, along with two or three additional

People.

The warehouse, of which a photograph appeared in last week's Castlegar News, is located on Meadowbrook Road.

Fire’s Cause Still Under Investigation

No comment has been re- leased by fire chief Rene Archambault following Satur- day evening's fire which gutted the home at 344 Seventh Avenue, South, located across the highway from Valleymaid Foods. -

Archambault declined to comment on the cause of the blaze, stating it was still under investigation. He estimated the damage at $40,000 to $45,000.

Sod Turns Tuesday At Kinnaird Park

An official sod-turning ceremony will mark the start of the Selkirk Lions Club upgrading of Hinnatra Park, at the park site Tuesday afternoon, Jim Penman,

The public is invited to attend the ceremony, in which Ald. Jim Gouk, city parks and recreation committee chairman, turns the first sod.

“Penman said the club, along with the supervision and r ions of architect Eric Clough, has obtained the services of the Winlaw Wood Farmers—a group experienced in clearing brush without damaging the surroundings, by using horses to skid out unwanted logs “the old-fashioned way.”

In the interest of safety during the last two weeks of October, the public is asked to forego the use of the park while the wood farmers are on the sile, Penman said. The south-end fitness track will not be affected, so joggers can continue with their routine

Vigue, in his proposal to council, suggested a- weekly workload of about 40 hours, . which he would share with his wife, for a monthly salary of $1,500 with an increase clause providing the same amount given to city workers annually.

Under the proposal both Vigue and his wife would have equal authority as bylaw en- forcement officers, although only he would be authorized to operate the tranquilizer gun used for animal control.
