Letter to City Council

"Phe following Open Letter has been submitted to city council members by Pat Ro- maine of Castlegar:

Dear Members of Council:

At the start of this new year, I would appreciate it if council would give considera- tion to the following observa- tions of one individual resident taxpayer.

Pre-payment of taxes: It has been the practice of pre-

vious councils to accept pay- ~

ment of water and sewer rentals early in the year and to give discounts for payment in full at a substantial saving for both the payee and the city.

T would suggest the same system could be instituted for the pre-payment of taxes, This would enable the taxpayer to realize some savings, as inter- est on the pre-payment, also a saving to the city by elimina- ting the need for bank over- drafts, This procedure is prac- tised in other towns throughout BC,

Will council be giving con-

_ sideration to initiating a public

transit service for the citizens of Castlegar? There is con- siderable interest in this pro- ject throughout this district that would indicate the feasibi- lity of this service as worth- while inveatigating.

Whatever happened to the proposal for a crematorium at the cemetery which was inves-

a pumber of

council is se terested in saving the fas payers money and controlling the annual budget, perhaps they should compile some sta- tistics as to the accumulated costs to the eity for the various. “studies” for water and sewer requirements and city manage- ment reports.

Credit Union Awards Two $250 Scholarships

If awarding one $250 scholarship award to a deserv- ing post-secondary student is a worthwhile community service activity, awarding two $250 scholarship awards to two students is twice as worth- while. |

This was the thinking of the board of directors of Castlegar Savings Credit Union as they reviewed applications from numerous deserving post- secondary students which | had b d for,

In 1974, Oppel returned from South East Asia, “intent,” he sald, “on further missionary medical activities.” After work- ing a year-and-a-half, he en- rolled in the Selkirk College Nursing Program in 1976, in order to develop knowledge and skills which would enable him to fulfill his plans for service as a medical missionary.

toall the weary Enotters by the hostesses.

A progressive dinner got off to a good start at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Terry Jorgen- son where punch and appeti- zers were served. The buffet supper was spread and waiting at Mr. and Mrs. Don Danroth's house; te receive dessert, and coffee everyone trooped down to, Mr,‘and'Mrs, Peter Young’s place.ePa—n. ste. 2:8 And for the grand ball and‘ party, the last stop was Dr. and
