" “But the mayor says that Dow has already chosen to night (when District made its “locate there and ‘Hias been decision) that neither: does council.” The mayor’s attitude is that the Dow storage plant is to be located.on National Harbors Board land and that District council does not have the authority to prevent it evenif it wanted to. “It means there is nothing we can do about it. We have im the past attempted to enforce our building requirements (on the NHB) and sometimes they comply and others they don’t.” _ Mayor Bell sa: council’s stand is that it welcomes industry in general. ‘POTENTIALLY accepted by the NHB and he has previously stated that District has difficulty “in ~ being over “selective in the kind of industry that locates on its waterfront because of the high land values there. -_ As for Mohawk, he comments: “Mohawk is no problem. ‘It is simply re- refining oil.” He adds that there is the further problem of deciding just where potentially hazardous industries should be located which is practical in terms of. economic and risk factors. weeny North Van boy dies in fall from bike parents came and tried to administer first aid’ The spokesman said the fire department and am- bulance also arrived on the scene within a few minutes and commenced first aid....which sent but the boy was s Pronounce chlorine’ gas fh eo vacueton of e fps Amel ate Hosni s ae 5 neo i At vo ett ern mnitel, ee ee mw, ‘The said Monday that it was not yet known how the boy died. 980-0811 police spokesman _path. ‘Among these are that the proposed Dow plant would be monitored only periodically by the provincial pollution control branch and will for the most part be allowed to monitor their toxic wastes them- selves, On the subject of Mohawk, SPEC comments that the GVRD has not as yet required Mohawk pretreat their liquid effluent before it enters the sewage system. ‘RECONSIDER’ The society maintains that the decision to disallow a public hearing was . “hasty and uninformed” and _ the letter asks the council to reconsider its position. _ But Mayor Bell comments to the News: “We could approach the National ‘Harbors Board, I guess, and lobby a senior member of government who has the authority (to block the sitings).
