Broadbent calls for ‘rep by pop’ OTTAWA (UPC) - New Democratic Party leader Ed Broadbent has proposed a radical overhaul of the House of Commons, a scheme for proportional representa- tion that would add 50 MPs and give political parties a more equal representation across the country. Broadbent Monday told his first press con- ference since the Feb. 18 election the plan should be tried as an experiment during the current Parliament. If successful, it could be extended to add 100 extra members to the House. Prime Miunister-elect Pierre Trudeau listened to Broadbent's proposal “quite sympathetically” during a private meeting last Friday, Broadbent said. Under Broadbent's scheme, each _ party would submit a list of candidates for the seats available through proportional representa- tion. ‘Only a miracle’ can save Tito BELGRADE, Yugosl- avia (UPI) - A medical bulletin said Tuesday President Josip Broz Tito, 87, has failed to respond to intensive treatment for pneumonia, his heart showed further signs of irregularity.

And Lakes stated that Crist had created the present problem of publicity before he had even read the report. Crist told council he wanted wider distribution of the report at a nominal Firehal FROM PAGE A1 On Monday night council considered a bylaw to remove a reservation on the Seylynn park site which would allow the site to be used for the firehall. The move required a minimum affirmative vote by two thirds of all members of council and with Alderman Jim Ball absent due {fo sickness only Lakes sup- ported the move. One of the main reasons why the District wanted to use the Seylynn site was its Suitability for the on-site training of the firemen. Mayor Don Bell suggested that it may be possible to find a site for training purposes which could be used by fire fighters from both North Vancouver City and the District - or even a regional site for all North Shore firemen. A motion by Alderman Lakes to find an alternate site for the new firehall as soon as possible was passed by council. At the meeting, aldermen took the opportunity to once more outline their views on the proposed Lynnmour firehall. - “Careful siting = may A charge of 15 cents per page because he feels all the public has a right to know. He also said he could ‘not accept that the District should be an agency for Hooker Chemical to distribute _the company's information (the Schnurstein statement). It was then that Alderman Gordon Rose explained that the Beak Report could not be copied in the usual way. He also accused Crist of wanting to deny Hooker a chance to respond to Crist's accusations about them. Both Lakes and Mayor Belli were also critical of Crist’s media approach. Lakes castigated Crist for sensationalism and added that he “had had enough of this sort of thing.” Mayor Bell said that Crist’s first letter to media was out of order because he, at that time had not even read the report, and council had already agreed to issue a version of the report. In their previous refusals to release the report, council had maintained it would be unintelligible to the general public because of its technical nature. Powell said he still did not believe the report to be so lic to get peek at Beak terrible. He contended that in the event of any natural disaster on the lines of an earthquake that dams, bridges, buildings and roads were likely to be affected along with Hooker. He also made the point that railway problems are not Hooker problems, and blamed railroads throughout Canada for continuing to use century-old track-laying methods which, for many years, have been rejected in most of Europe, and elsewhere. A copy of the Beak Report is now available for study in the District Clerk’s depan- ment at District Hall. won’t go in park become a matter of life or death ... to anyone in the Lynnmour area of the District, in the event of a fire,” Lakes said. “The first’ priority for some of us (aldermen), is fire prevention, but obviously it is not for others.“ “Let's get this straight,” Alderman Peter Powell said, “I do not occupy this chair because I am on any kind of power trip.” “It is my form of com- munity service. I am under no illusions as to my tenure, but while I am here, at the pleasure of all the people of the District, I will do my best at all times. I do not respond to threats of any kind and | resent anyone’s thinking that I would - they should know me better.” “The public must realize that this council has a primary duty to run public affairs in a_ businesslike manner.” . we are the custodians of the public purse for all segments of the population,” Powell added. But he said: “Inference was made that council was going the cheap way (by proposing the Seylynn firehall site) for the sake of saving dollars.
