Dear Editor: It is time someone said ‘shame’ to the Bank of Commerce for vacating their building in Lower Lonsale. They have Jeft our prime heritage building vacant. Their timing couldn’t have been ‘better’. Just as the new market is drawing crowds, just as Lower Lonsdale has been revitalized, just as their building has received a his- toric plaque — they decide to move a few blocks away. They, as many other banks across Canada have done, have turned their backs on supporting heritage preservation. The very buildings that are the backbone of Main Street revitalization are clos- ing their doors. Shame on you. Jack Watts North Yancouver Burning article has reader puzzied Dear Editor: I am confused, and I am sure others are, because of your news item declaring that West Van- couver residents can burn refuse on the ‘first four consecutive Saturdays”’ in October. My calendar shows four Satur- days in October. Therefore, the first four Saturdays also would be the last four Saturdays as well as the middle four Saturdays. How do the first four Saturdays differ? Also, since there are four Satur- days — and burning is allowed on all four —- would they not be con- secutive? For instance, if burning was not allowed on Oct. 18, the Saturdays would not be con- secutive. But, then, there would only be three Saturdays for burn- ing. Why was the word ‘con- secutive’ inserted? 1 phoned the firehall in West Vancouver and was told burning was allowed on Fridays and Satur- days, except for the last Friday of the month. I can’t sleep nights trying to fig- ure out what you mean. Les Rimes West Vancouver A. JOHN LAKES and JAMES L. STRAITH are pleased to announce that William J. Rodgers has joined ther as a partner.
