Speaking on taxes, Baker

dents and businesses pay the
lowest taxes on the North
Shore

“A in all the North
Shore as a whole, and the
District of North Vancouver
in particular, has dealt
responsibly with the variable
tax rate and has been able to
tailor the tax rate to Our par-
ucular community,’’ Baker
said “Il feel contident that
the same = analytical and
detailed approach to the
1985 budget will result in a
continuing good record of

“Teas with some nostalgia
that | realize at has come to
the point that | have long

former council member) was
so tond of labelling new
council members, to become
the ‘grandmother.’ Baker

Baker added that the tact
that five incumbent

your previous record of hard
