B.C. Tel wants
six per cent hike

IF B.C. TEL gets its way,
North Shore telephone users
will face six per cent increases
for the full range of services.

B.C. Tel has applied for a
six per cent interim rate in-
crease that, if approved by
the Canadian Radio-
Television and Telecom-
munications Commission
(CRTC), will go into into ef-
fect July 1.

The company would
follow that with an October
filing for a general rate
increase.

Under the proposed new
rate structure, the basic cost
of a residential telephone
would go from $12.10 a
month to $12.85 in North
Vancouver and from $12.60 a
month to $13.35 tn West
Vancouver.

Business rates would also
increase with individual
business lines going to $39 70
trom $37.45 in North Van
and to $42 90 from $40 4§ tn
West Van.

THE RECENT formation of
the non-profit North Shore
Independent Schoo! Society
has chairmen of both
West and North Vancouver
School Districts worried
about the effects it could
have on_ enrollment —based
funding from the provincial
government.

West Vancouver schools
trustees met in a special: in- -
camera meeting onday

night to discuss a /request
from the independent school
society to rent one of its clos-
ed schools..West Vancouver
could be the hardest hit.

**We are at critical
number,’? warned chairman
Dawn Sikula. ‘‘If our

’ numbers (school enrollment)
drop below 5000, it has a
serious effect on the fiscal
framework.”’

Sikula estimated that the
school district could lose as
many as 100 students to the
independent ‘school. Present-

‘

ly West Vancouver loses 350
to 400 school children a year
to other districts or other in-
dependent schools.

North Vancouver Chair-
man Roy Dungey expressed
the same concern, saying thé
drop in enrollment could

-have dramatic effects
throughout the district.

‘*Yes, I’m worried,’’
Dungey said.

- About 500 people. turned

up at a public meeting the.

society called to unveil plans
to establish the school in
North Van. They pledged
$14,000 to help fund the new
schools. |

Besides asking to rent an as
yet unnamed West Van-
couver school, the Indepen-
dent Schools Society also ap-
proached North Vancouver
School District with a request
to rent the closed Hamilton
School.
