WHOEVER said “two heads are better than one” never

lived on the North Shore, where, when it comes to muntic-

ipal politics, excess is best. Fora population roughly the size |
of Burnaby (39,000 in West Van; 75,000 in North Van ak (7
District; and 38,000 in North Van City) we apparently need ee
three councils, three mayors and three municipal halls,

Where bibliophiles need three different Jibrary cards to

borrow books. Where smokers could potentially pulf away

in one pub and be turned away a few blocks down the road.

And where speeders smile for the radar camera in one

stretch of highway and drive with impunity in another, Why not amalgamate the three
municipalities into one, eliminating mountains of bureaucracy in the process? Most res-

idents feel that Nerth and West Vancouver are too distinct to be united: that Deep Covers

and Tiddiycovers have only a syilable in common. We asked you: “Should North Van

City, North Van Distric’ and West Van amalgamate to form one municipality?”

1 guess it's more expensive to
have three but it'd be hard to
generalize... What's good for

West Van might not be good for’

North Vancouver. It’s a good
thought but I don't know if it'd
work out.

Wendy Kennedy

West Vancouver

No, [ don’t think they should
decause the North Shore is so
large. If they keep it segregated
like it is it'd be easier for tnem
to stay on top of important
issues. The North Shoie is get-
ting larger and larger and if you
put all the constituencies
together then a lot of things will
get shuffled under the carpet

West Vancouver

1 think at least both North Vans

should do it. Whether West Van

should, I don’t know. North

Van -— that's a real waste to

have it split up the way itis. I

think West Van has its own

identity, whereas North Van

people don’t really realize that

it's separated: it’s just North
Van and West Van. I feel that.

of five fingers:
B Encore;
@ Russ Dem Bones;
@ Russ Horror Candle;
@ Russ Glowing Gore;
@ Bleeding Hand Candle;
@ Flesh & Bones;

ard.

The candles can burn and
produce a single high flame or
five large flames close together.
The heat produced is intense.
Nearby materials such as cur-

tains, clothing, window sills.
