Dear Editor:

Re: Vandalism of salmon
stceams (April 7, NSN,
35,000 salmon killed).

The recent: massacre of
35,000 young salmon by
vandals at the Morten Creek
volunteer- operated fish
hatchery in North Vancouver
outraged responsible citizens
‘throughout our community
and elsewhere in the
province.

After failing to break-in,
the vandals cut off water sup-
ply to the hatchery, killing
Coho and Chum fry about to
be released into Lynn Creek.
Loss of the Coho fry was a

devastaning, blew for Zo Ann
Morten and her fellow vol
unteers working to restock
the creck with this threat-
ened species of salmon.

In an attempt to bring the
vandals to account for their
actions, CrimeStoppers, B.C.
Wildlife Federation and
Coho Festival Society of the
North Shore are offering
rewards totalling $5,000 for
information feading to arrest
and conviction of those
responsible.

The deliberate and mind-
less vandalism at Morten
Creek should serve as a loud
wake-up call on the need for

Home size bylaws needed |

Dear Editor:

North Vancouver District
council should take note of
who initiated the bylaws now
in effect relating to the so-
called monster homes.

{n their headlong rush to
rid the district of the previ-
ous council decision regard-
ing bulky homes they are
ignoring the concerns of a
large number of residents.

I can understand the frus-
tration of the present council
having to deal with this
bylaw which seems w be
overly complex.

However, the intent of

the bylaw is correct and only

needs to be modified so that

it is easier to work with,
There are many proper-

tics which will be impacted if

all controls are removed,
apart of course from the
areas already dealt with.

Also, why should some
sections of the district be
protected while others are
left to fend for themselves.

Hopefully the present
council will realize what the
intent of this bylaw is and
not come up with a contro-
versial decision.

After all, we all know

what is said about history
repeating itself.
