A LOGGING company has
sued the
Greater Vancouver Region-
al District (GVRD) and the
Greater Vancouver . Water
District over a watershed
logging breach of contract.

By Anna Marie D'Angelo

News Reporter

C&R Logging Ltd. will receive
an estimated $750,000 as set out in
a 47-page B.C. Supreme Court
judgement released Dec. 19.

The dispute involved a 1992
allotment of timber for which the
logging company had a contract to
cut.

C&R was slated to fell 13 cut-
blocks and an estimated volume of
91,300 cubic metres in 1992. ‘The
company eventually harvested
38,892 cubic metres. Eleven of the
13 cutblocks were released for log-
ging during the year. —

Said Mr. Justice Bruce Cohen
in the reasons for judgement, “The
evidence is overwhelming that it
was solely due to the GVRD's fail-
ure to act on its decision (to fulfill
the harvesting contract with the
plaintiff) that resusted in the plain-
tiff harvesting only 38,000 cubic
metres.” :

Chris Johnson said the News cur-
rently. has a four-week supply of
newsprint. While the paper seeks
new supplies of newsprint in
North America, steps have been
taken to make the paper smaller
to conserve remaining stocks.
“t's unfortunate for our read-
ers but it is st serious situation,” he
suid. Currently, the News

Due to increasing demand for

the cast of newsprint is expected

to jump 474, Johnson said. |
