pub still on hold

DOUBTS about the
accuracy and validity
of a plebiscite for a
lower Lonsdale pub
forced North Van-
couver City council to
postpone any zoning
changes until
provincial approval is
granted.

The plebiscite asked
residents in the area bor-
dered by Mahon Avenue,
Keith Road and St. David's
Avenue whether they ap-
proved the establishment of
a neighbourhood pub at 175
East First Street.

N. Van

COUNCIL has given the go-
ahead to a $375,000 lighting
improvement project in
North Vancouver City.

The cost will be split
between the City and local
residents in “Priority Area
No. 2”, otherwise known as
lower North Vancouver.

The approval was given
despite written opposition
from J.W. Black of North
Shore Realty. In a letter to
council, Black said the
project area “had gotten
along for many years without
these improvements”.

“In a time of restraint,
may I respectfully request
that this project be put off
until the financial climate
improves?” the letter read.

However, council felt
more monoy would be saved

lucky?

Winning numbers in the
Wednesday, August 4 draw
of the estern Express
Lottery were: $10,000 --
2153899, 2465289, 2339590,
2486165, 1981698. $100,000 -
- 1877517, 3556484, 1394637,
3243951, 3395425. Jackpot
number 894A 133.

Out of the 3,040 ballots
returned, 81 per cent ap-
proved of the project.

_But = several council
members objected to the
results obtained by Canadian
Facts, saying some of the
Statements on the ballot
were vague or inaccurate
and that the plebiscite area
did not reflect the six-block
or half-mile radius stipulated
by the Liquor Contro! and
Licensing Act.

Alderman Ralph Hall
accused other council
members of being against
the pub. “If the plebiscite
had been 100 per cent
against there would have

been a lot of happy people
around here,” he said.
- Replied Mayor Loucks:

_ “This council has been split

on which way we want to go.

“But a public opinion poll
should be carried out in a
proper and legal manner.”

Council will await a ruling
from the Liguor Control
Branch on the validity of the
plebiscite before proceeding
with any zoning changes.

Council also ruled that the
pub owners must provide
detailed landscape plans of
parking layout and loading
facilities before a public,
hearing will be scheduled on
the matter.

City lights up

in the long run by installing
street lighting now rather
than waiting for a few years,
especially since the City has
already budgeted for the
costs involved.

Alderman Stella Jo Dean
also felt better lighted streets
would serve as a deterrent to
crime.

“With so much unem-
ployment we will have more

thefts and B&E’s, she told

council. “The lighting will
help prevent this, as well as
rapes.”

Alderman Bill Sorenson
sympathized with Black, but
supported the majority
decision, saying. ‘‘We
shouldn't postpone things to
the point where we have a
crisis and no moncy to deal
with it.”

Areas to be improved
include: 2nd St., 3rd St., Sth
and 6th St., from Forbes
Ave. to Mahon Ave., Keith
Rd. from Bewicke Ave. to
St. Davids Ave., 8th St. from
13th St. to St. Andrews
Ave., 9th St., 10th St. and
12th St. from 8th St. to St.
Andrews Ave., 13th St. from
Mahon Ave. to St. Andrews
Ave; Jones Ave. and St.
Davids Ave., from 6th St. to
Keith Rd., Forbes Ave. from

2nd St. to Keith Rd. and
Mahon Ave., Chesterficld
Ave., St. Georges Ave. and

St. Andrews Ave. from 6th
St. to 13th St.

Streets in the arca cast of
St. Georges Ave. from 10th
St. to Keith Rd. will not be

Motocross bikes

are really hot

MOTOCROSS bikes have
become a favorite target of
thieves in West Vancouver.

Many of the bikes, which
youngsters enjoy performing
daredevel stunts on, cost as
much as $500 and police
report that there has been “a
significant number” of them
stolen this year.

Police ask parents to be
aware that the bikes are

particularly prone to theft
and to mark them for
identification by marking
their driving licence number
on their child’s bike, with an
engraver. Engraving tools
are available at no cost from
the police headquarters. ,

Parents are also asked to
quesion their children about
riding any bikes which are
not their own.
