Last week's rejection of
Vancouver Wharves’ ap-
plication to construct an
additional methanol storage
tank was rescinded by North
Vancouver District council
Monday night because
council has no authority to
make such a decision.

In a letter to council,
Mavor Don Bell said: “While

because of
wife's spending

A 29-year-old freelance
writer who illegally collected
unemployment insurance
benefits in order to keep up
with his wife’s spending, was
given ae conditional
discharge Wednesday in
North Vancouver Provincial
Court.

Ronald Sostad, of Van-
couver, pleaded guilty to
accepting about $500 in

benefits from July 28 to
January 11, while he was
living in North Vancouver
and working for the Van-
couver school board.

Crown counsel said that
Sostad admitted taking the
money because he was
having financial difficulties.
and said that he knew what
he was doing.

Defence Counsel Pat
Howard satd that Sostad had
a “very, very. difficult
courtship and marriage,” al
the time and that he ac-
cepted the benefits while his
wife had been spending a
great deal of money.

Howard said that Sostad
had paid back the benefits
he received illegally.

with Howard's submission
for a conditional discharge
although he repeated the
Crown's statement that “it is
essentially a very difftcult
offence to detect.”

Sostad was placed on
probation for one year and
ordered to do 100 hours

community work service.

rejected last week by a
three-three split on council
following a heated debate.

A motion by Alderman
Ernie Crist that council
express an opinion to the fire
chief and the fire coni-
missioner that a decision
before the Task Froce
reports in the near future
would be inappropriate, was
defeated in the same three-
three split, with Alderman
Mary Segal and Mayor Don
Bell supporting the motion.
Alderman Gordon Rose was
absent.

In rejecting the motion,
Alderman Peter Powell said:
“Tm tired of watching
council play populist politics
with our industrial tax base
— we need our industrial tax
base.”
