There is talk of the large credit card
companies charging interest to the customer
from the moment of purchase rather than
allowing the customer a no-interest period to
pay off the purchase. At 28% interest or so,
this could mean a substantial increase in
payments.

Today’s question is:

“‘Would your credit card-

spending be affected with no
free interest period?’

Janice Murray-Driver
North Vancouver

It would affect my
spending somewhat. I
mainly use my _ credit
cards for identification
when writing cheques.

Jean Fernets
North Vancouver

It would decrease my
spending. I have not been
paying interest as I
generally pay off my
purchases before the 30
days. Actually, I wonder
why the credit’ card
companies didn't do this a
long ume ago.

GVRD mulls express bus
service from Horseshoe Bay

RUSH-HOUR express bus
service between Horseshoe
Bay and downtown Van-
couver is a possibility being
examined by the Greater
Vancouver Regional Distnct
(GVRD) transit department.

The study, undertaken at
the request of Director
Georg Helenius, Bowen
Island's representative on
the GVRD Board, ts looking
at the cost and feasibility of
operating two express buses
during morning and _af-

ternoon rush hours which
would connect with ferry
service to Bowen Island.
Initial estimates indicate
that express service to
downtown Vancouver, via
the Upper Levels Highway
with a stop at Park Royal,
would take about 30
minutes, about half the ume
of the Horseshoe Bay to
Vancouver run along Marine
Drive. The new service, if it
goes into effect, would
supplement, not replace, the

dominiums up in arms.

The reason for the delay,
said Mayor Humphreys last
week hes in the Municipal
Act, which requires owners
to be given 60 days to
comply with a _ council
demolition order.

If an owner fails to comply
within that penod, the muni-

cipality can use its own
crews to carry out the
demolition. charging the

cost to the owner.

“Affected residents can be
assured that council is pro-
ceeding with all possible
speed on this matter within
the restrictions imposed by
the Municipal Act,”
Humphreys told The News.

The controversial 20-
storey highrise development
remains stalled because the
owners have hitherto refused
to accept council’s require-

ment for a 50 ft. side
allowance.
At the May 10 “show

cause” hearing Harry Erlich-
man, spokesman for Bay
Beach Towers Ltd., offered
to demolish the old houses if
council would agree to a 30
ft. side allowance which
would increase the ocean

Council refused to enter-

tain such aie “trade-off,”
pointing out that = Erlich-
man's proposal was irrele-
vant to the subject of the

hearing.
Abraham Erlichmana, a
principal of Bay Beach

Towers Ltd., declined last
week to give any indication
of the next step by the
owners.

Asked whether Bay Beach
Towers would comply with
the council’s demolition
order, he told The News: “I
know nothing at the present
time ... nothing.”

Harry Erlichman, his son,
could not be reached for
comment.
