B4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, June 14, 1981

Local residents complain: ing about trains blocking level railway crossings have prompted the city to pass the message to the CPR.

‘The city council decided to write the railway, reminding it there is an agreement stating the crossings are not supposed to be blocked for more than five minutes at a time, and that trains are sup- posed to be broken at the crossing.

The move was recom- mended by the council's works and services commit- tee, after the city received a petition signed by residents of the Oglow Subdivision complaining about the situ- ation. A number of people have complained directly to the city, Ald. Len Embree, chairman of the works- and services committee, told the

measting.

He said the problem exists at both railway crossings in Castlegar.

TAX HIKE QUESTIONED

The Castlegar Savings Credit Union is upset about its municipal taxes being raised,“ but. the city says thereis nothing it can do.

A letter from the credit union asked why its property taxes are being raised 23 per cent compared to the taxes it paid last year, and noted this is the second year in a row it has been hit with a 20 per cent plus increase.

Residential property ass- esament rates have been cut by’ the ‘provincial govern- ment, but the same decrease was not given to commercial properties. The taxes’ on

The city’s planning com- mittee has reaffirmed its re- jection of a proposed multi- family development on Merry Creek Road.

G.F.. Bondaroff asked the

family development to higher density (up to four-plexes), Cohoe replied.

PAVING REQUESTED

A request made by St, Peter's lutheran Church for paying a portion of roadway in front of the church could be expensive.

Because the project would involve a storm sewer as well as paving, the city will re- view the costs before making a decision.

The: church will be in- ‘formed of the city's inten- sions after the costs are as- sessed.

GRANTS APPROVED

Two area groups’ requests for granta were approved by the council.

The Nelson Strokers Club is getting a $350 grant, and the Castlegar Arts Council is getting $200.

The atrokers’ club assists atroke victims ‘by offering them: therapies and moral support, Ald. Jim Gouk ex- plained. He said it is helping

three people in the Castlegar area and includes two others as associate members.

The arts’ council is using ita grant to help pay ex- penses of paying to send to two members to“the As- sembly of B.C, Arts Councils Conference in Vernon.

The group's efforts are worthwhile and the group receives little support from the city, Gouk said.

‘Two groups are receiving letters of support from the

elty.

‘The Kootenay Doukhobor Historical Society has applied for a $7,000 provincial gov- ernment grant towards the cost of producing a film fea- turing the Doukhobor Village Museum, and it will be ap- plying for an operating grant. It asked the city to support its requests.

‘The Kootenay Society for”

the Handicapped also asked for a letter of support.

The city council reaffirmed its withdrawal from the Crowsnest Highway 3 Asso-

+ elation, but it has suggested

the local chamber of com- merce might be interested in becoming a member.

Two letters asking the city to reconsider withdrawing were forwarded to the cham- ber.

Quake hits Iran;

TEHRAN (REUTER( — Survivors of the massive earthquake which hit the southeaster Iranian town of Golbaf were pulling apart rubble with their bare hands Saturday in'a desperate at- tempt to find survivors,

State radio reported that about 1,400 casualties were buried in mass and individual graves Friday as rescuers picked through the ruins of the .mud-built town, which had housed about 10,000 peo- ple.

The full extent of the cat- astrophe was not known and the official Pars news agency, which estimated the death toll at 9,000 early Friday, issued a second report which did not give a figure.

Further tremors were re- ported Friday as more than 1,000 injured were moved to Kerman, 80 kilometres away, in helicopters and by road. The shock, which regis- tered 6.8 on ‘the Richter scale, was Iran's worst earth- quake since 15,000 people died in the eastern town of ‘Tabas in September, 1978. Revolutionary leader Aya- tollah Ruhollah Khmeini sald in a ‘message to the nation that the quake was‘a divine visitation to test the people

of Iran,

“It is also a divine ordeal for the afflicted people throughout the country whereby they prove how much they deem themselves as sharing the plight which has struck their dear breth- ren and sisters,” he said.
