Bridge and Ferry Talk Keeps Pot Boiling

Thig newspaper is of two minds a- bout the public discussion now centering on the matter of the crossing of the Col-

umbia river between Castlegar and Rob-

son.

It has. always been our opinion that under no ‘ must the provin cial government bé allowed to abandon both ferries, leaving the :only connection b these two centres ‘to be via eith- er thd new Kinnaitd bridge or by road over the Arrow dam. | ~ foe lat pron a i tion’ ‘abaut™ this*imafter (particularly . abandon: both ferries. at: least -

We believe that Mr. Lewis- is also 3 correct when he further~ suggests’ that if . il pr tes the proposal it will find \ that it has the backing of the whole dis- ‘trict for its actions. : In all likelihood the municipality wo- : uld find the riding and regional depart- = ment of highways people most receptive : to Mr. Lewis’ suggestion although, in fair- > ness, it cannot be expected that the high- ‘ ways department should have to supply ‘the outboard motor. At the same time “ it is not an expense which Castlegar tax- ". payers alone should have to bear. f Possibly some service club or the boat ‘club can come up with some ideas

that Castlegar council can consider.

Humane Association

There is a certain amount of mis- understanding in this-area about who is primarily responsible for pr ting the neglect and abuse of animals and in par-

» ticular about the role of the newly-form- ed Ci bia E Association in such. fields.

The owner, in law, is held responsible

for seeing that an.animal is kept under control. Where the: owner fails'to do this the civic authority is responsible.

Should it become necessary:: to. des-” troy an animal, then the owner is bound to make the arrangements and to pay any. expenses incurred in-doing -this:

Should an owner ‘fuil“to look’ after his pet then the Society. for’ the Preven- tion of Cruelty to ‘Animas — if there’ is such a local agency — has a duty to step jn and take appropriate action ‘such’ ag prosecuting, if nedessary,, of warning the

the people of this area will not tolerate the withdrawal of this vital service.

“Ags for the proposal by Castlegar council to Mr. Gaglardi that he give con- sideration to moving the old Taghum bridge near Nelson: to Castlegar when that bridge is bypassed with a new one, this too is an idea with great merit.

Although ‘engineers we have talked with seem unanimous that the proposal is a good tactical move rather than a workable idea, nonetheless it most cer- tainly serves to illustrate that Castlegar is as concerned about the matter as is Rob- son and that our elected representatives are prepared to keep the pot on this par- ticular matter boiling.

Take heed, Mr. Gaglardi. This is an issue on which the people of the whole Castlegar district are agreed, and are ready to do serious battle.
