The policy proposed by Alderman Powell calls, bas- ically, for no road extensions and no expansion of sewer, garbage collection or other municipal services in the largely wilderness area, to- gether with severe restric- tions on new hydro-electric services. Council members showed themselves in general agree- ment with. principle of discouraging further devel- opment in Indian Arm and retaining it for purely rec- reational use.

As a guide for action, as opposed to specific legisla- tion, the policy document is likely to undergo further revisions before council is” fully satisfied. In summing up the debate Aiderman Powell said: ‘‘I don’t think anyone is. going to kid themselves it’s a foolproof policy...but at least it gives us a position from which we can sta In other business Aider- man Gordon Rose raised the question of Roundary Com- munity Schooi,— where par- _ents of pupils are seeking the support of council in obtain- ing improvements to the accommodation.

This means. that ‘students and teachers have to walk across. the schooi grounds to use the facilities in the main building, which were also described as inadequate. ‘Meanwhile there are com- piaints that the main build- ing itself is of poor condition, with insufficient library and gymnasium accommodation. ° Room.
