Other sites suggested
included the foot of
Bruce Street, a corner of
the municipal works yard
and on the present site of
Firehall No.2, with the
training ground to be
constructed elsewhere.

Loop argued that council
should not be afraid to spend
some money to buy an
alternative site.

FRANK KENNEDY

She said Seylynn Park was
an easily accessible park,
unlike the other parkland
that was being developed the
other side of Keith Road.

“I think we're talking
about apples and oranges,”
she said in countering the
District argument that
council would be taking
away only half an acre but
would be adding several
more.

Loop was also concemed
about the safety of children
walking to school through
the park, who may be en-
dangered by fire trucks
leaving the new hall to
answer an emergency.

Speaking after Loop,
Kennedy summed up the
feelings of most people at
the meeting.

“We're in favour of the
building of a new firehall,”
he said, but added:
“Regardless of what the
District council wants to do I
suggest they change their
minds - they're not building a
firehall in this park!”

Kennedy also pointed out
a number of people in the
audience who had originally
helped clear the land for
Seylynn Park and he said
they did not want to see the
land used for a firehall.

After Kennedy, the
meeting heard from Harry
Green, the president of the

No totems? T

North Vancouver City
council was treated to a sales
pitch for lead crystal ware at
last week’s meeting -
because they’re running out
of totem poles.

The whole matter con-
cerns civic presentations to
retiring personnel and
visiting dignitaries.

Mayor Jack Loucks in-
formed council that the City
only had two of the
miniature totem poles that
are currently being used
for civic presentations,
remaining.

company.

Green told the meeting
that in January the 1,100
members of the union
adopted a resolution op-
posing the building of a
firehall on the park site.

ELECTION YEAR

“The people of the District
have an election § year
coming up,” Pat Neufeld,
another member of the ‘Save
the Parks’ committee
warned the council mem-
bers.

“They had better look
carefully at the councillers
they are voting for this
year.”

A West Van member of a
provincial parks  con-
servation group told council:

“You don't have near
enough parks.”
“It’s a wonderful thing

when you get the citizens
angry and get them out to
save thei parkland,” he
said.

“] think we should look
after the future and build a
firehall elsewhere,” another
speaker said.

If it was a question of
taxation to get money to
purchase an _ alternative
park, one speaker said he
would be willing to give up a
few cases of beer to retain
the park.

At the end of the meeting.
Jim Fraser, the president of
the Lynn Vailey Community
Association, asked any ot
the council members if they
had changed their minds as 2
result of the meeting.

“I didn't come here to
debate,” Alderman Mike
Lakes said, “I came here to
listen.”

crystal ware

While council members
appeared to like the crystal
ware displayed in the
presentation, they thought
staff should look at other
alternatives for items that
could be presented by the
City.

‘re not building a firehall in this park’

Mayor Don Bell closed the
meeting by telling people
that there had been a stop
work order issued on
_construcuion work for the
Seylyna Park.

After staff reports were
submitted, he said, council
would reconsider the matter
and would either reconfirm
their earlier decision or take
other action.
