and before he joined other
council representatives on
their European garbage trip:
That landfilling is the only
feasible answer to garbage
disposal, that all other forms
of disposal present even
greater problems and _ that
District should expand
rather than phase down the
Premier Street landfill.

-Neighbors of the towering
garbage dump are deter-
mined to keep up their fight.
COLD spokesman Sharon
Simunic, who has taken out a
private prosecution over the
operation of the landfill, told
the News after council
received Bremner’'s report:

“This plan is_ totally
unacceptable to COLD, who
have vowed to fight the
expansion through to the
highest level of the
provincial government and
through the courts.”

A tnal has been set for
November 15 and 16 in
North Vancouver provincial
court as a result of Simunic
and her husband Dan taking
out their private action,
alleging seven counts against
District of failing to cover
garbage with fresh topsoil
daily. Identical charges are
laid against Bremner and
Deputy Engineer Harry
McBride.

At a resumed hearing into
the case last Tuesday,

District counsel Tim
Mackenzie asked for the
charges to be dismissed on
the grounds that they were
ambiguously worded. He
also maintained that the
letter of transmittal from the
provincial Waste
Mangement Branch setting
out the operating
requirements of the landfill
was not a legally binding
order.

The court rejected the
ambiguity argumeat and said
the validity of the letter of
transmittal would be dealt
with at the trial.

The question >{ the future
of the landfill may still go to
the community — in the
form of a referendum.

District Mayor Don Bell
comments: “I still have
feelings that there are steps
that could be taken to
reduce the problem and
work towards an ultimate
solution.”

He expects Aldermen Ball
and Crist to put forward
points of view tomorrow
concerning the _ landfill
“which may not. exactly
parallel that of staff.”

He anticipates that
following the public meeting
a policy on the future of the
landfill and garbage disposal
will be drawn up by District
around September.

If their recommended
course of action involves
major capital expenditure —

such as an_ incinerator
(which Bremner rules out),
council will consider a
referendum, which would be
held in November.

Bell still feels there are
likely feasible alternatives to
landfilling which should be

that public support of these

Lions Gate shop steward
