wv ‘expropriation
reasons questioned

Dear Editor:
> The’ Supreme Court of B.Ce has,
for the second time, ruled against a
West Vancouver bylaw to ex-
propriate 1734. Argyle Ave.
_ because the bylaw did not state the
specific reason for the expropria-
tion.
On “television, Mayor . Lanskail
a appéared. adamant..when he. stated
“that council will; continue to write
these bylaws until they do it right!
SAI the homeownirs in the 1400,
1500 and 1!700°bidcks Argyle are

confused, as is the B.C. Supreme,

Court\, as: to why, precisely, the
municipality wants; 10 expropriate
_this property.

. When asked how 'thig expropria-

“tion would ‘affect other homeown;.
ers, ‘the mayor replied that the

question was: ‘hypothetical.

The question is not hypothetical
when one is living under a threat
of expropriation just by requesting
a building- permit to perform
modest home improvements to an
existing: home (Ambleside Water-
front Acquisition Policy).

All taxpayers should be very.

concerned, not only about the legal
costs already incurred by these
wrongly -worded expropriation
bylaws but also for the cost of the
proposed. expropriation of. all 16
reinaining properties estimated to

‘be nearly $10 million.

Maybe the municipality should

negotiate with the residents forthe .

continuation of the seawalk. —
where practical — at littl or no
expense to the taxpayers,
