Former city alderman

running for a return to

council.

Ralph Hall is running on a
three-point platform.

“Generally, the City 1s in
good shape.” he says. “but
that won't be the case for
‘ong uf Lower Lonsdale’s
problems are not solved.”

Hall says he wants to hold
the line on taxes and that
could be accomplished if
City Council gets the most

from its land in Lower
Lonsdale. That can be done
by promoting the

establishment of a terraced.
park-like shopping plaza
west of Lonsdale between
Esplanade and 2nd Street.
“This would be a major
tax producer and at the same
time a thing of beauty. It
would be a long-term lease
with the city retaining
ownership of the land.”
Hall’s other pnonty would
be the submission of a
money bylaw, early next

year, to provide an indoor

The continuing demolition
of family homes in the Upper

for muluple family housing is
one of the chief concerns of

Howard who is running for a
seat again on North Van-

‘Value, Quality, B
Freedom of Choice!’’

Howard, who lost out in
last year’s election by only
two votes — after a recount
— says “many of us came to
the North Shore because it
was basically a community
of single-family homes.

“The Lower Lonsdale area
has been a bonanza for the
developers who have
destroyed the single-family
home in that area and I don't
want to see it happen to the
rest of our city.”

Other issues’ which
Howard counts as vital are
“an open type of govern-
ment” (he wants council to
appoint a permanent public
relations officer) and
continuing city traffic
problems — which make a
start on the Low Level
through road an urgency.

Howard served as a City
alderman from 1970 to 1977
and has been involved over
the years in a wide vanety of
community activities.

such groups the City would
not now be preparing a
waterfront park nor would it
be considering additional
recreational facilities, such
as a pool, in Lower Lon-
sdale,” he claims.

He added that neigh-
bourhood councils with City
help, could perform the
functions of social planners
— a service not presently
