corner groceries, and Dean
Saying that encouraging
them could lead to more
alcoholism and traffic ac-
cidents.

She pointed to Ireland
which, she said, has a high
ratio of pubs to people (62
pubs to 1,200 people in one

Dean was not impressed
by the abundance of pub
proposals. “You'd think that
people in North Vancouver
City were really boozers to
look at tonight’s agenda.”

One of the applications
Monday was from Whispers

closing time from 2 a.m. to
11 p.m. and cutting its
capacity from 175 to 65.

The Whispers proposal is
furthest advanced, as_ it
