$1,500 to curb
litterbugs

GARBAGE dumping near
North Vancouver District's
water towers on Prospect
Road forced council into ac-
tion Monday to stamp out
further litterbugging in the
nature area.

And the cost to local tax-
payers, according to District
Deputy Engineer Harry
McBride, is $1,500 from
munipcal coffers to erect a
steel fence, which hopefully,
will block public access to
the expedient dumping
ground.

“This cost is, however, not
a normal maintenance item

and a source of funds is re-
quired,” said McBride, in a
report to council.

He suggested the $1,500
needed to remedy the un-
sightly mess along the road
be taken from the 1982
capital budget. Council sup-
ported McBride's request.

Among debris being junk-
ed along Prospect Road are
mattresses, water tanks and
plastic garbage ba?’s.Dump-
ing waste in areas not
designated as a municipal
landfill contravenes
District's waste disposal
bylaw.

Controlled rent
increases curbed

CONSUMER Affairs
Minister Jim Hewitt has
announced changes to the
Residential Tenancy Act
designed to reflect current
lower interest rates.

Landlords of rent con-
trolled premises who incur
repair, improvement or
replacement expenditures
may now increase rents to
cover those costs by only 15
per cent, down from the
previous allowable increase
of 18 per cent.

At the same time, tenants
claiming their security
deposits will receive interest
on those deposits of eight
per cent, rather than the 12
per cent rate in effect since
1981, when rates began to
skyrocket
