DISTRICT COUNCIL

BC TEL’S bid to increase rates
and extend the toll-free calling
zone to the whole Lower
Mainland fell on unsympathetic
ears at the Monday, Feb. 15, West
Vancouver District Council
meeting.

“TL think this would be punitive
in the economic cycle we are in
now,” said Coun. Andy Danyliu.

Mayor Mark Sager said that the
additional $20,000 required from
West Vancouver residents would
be difficult to justify at this time.

“We are trying to cul costs, not
increase them,’’ said Sager.

While the North and West Van-
couver residential telephone
charges would go up $5.90 per
customer, from $12.05 to $17.95,
Coun. Don Griffiths noted that
commercial enterprises might have
even more difficulty in handling
their increases.

“Some are already having a
great deal of difficulty meeting
their bill payments,’’ said ‘Grif-
fiths.

But BC Tel project manager
Dale Reid argued that many tele-
phone users would find their new
charges would be lower.

According to Reid, there have
been many complaints in past

City council
stalls decision

NORTH VANCOUVER City
Council has delayed a decision on
supporting an expanded provincial
beverage container deposit system
to find out what effect it will have
on the blue box program.

By Stephen Wisenthal
Contributing Writer

Coun. Bill Bell said at council’s
Feb. 8 meeting that the proposal
for promoting the use of refillable
containers, including a series of
collection depots, could mean a
higher cost for the city’s curbside
recycling scheme.

“A lot of the highly recyclable
material will be taken out of the
blue box system, and we will have
to pay higher costs. (The province
is) downloading the cost of recycl-
ing less: recyclable materials,’’ he
said.

Coun. Stella Jo Dean called the
recommendation ‘“excellent’’ and
said she did not agree with sug-
gestions by the beverage associa-
tion that the deposit be removed
from non-refillable containers
such as cans.

“Very few beverage containers
with a deposit refund value are
found in litter,’’ she said.

Council voted to defer a deci-
sion on the proposal to allow staff
(o prepare a report on. the effect
on the blue box program, and
find out about new proposals due
from the Greater Vancouver
Regional District and the pravin-

cial ministry of the environment.

BC Tel officials say that the
toll-free project would be ‘*finan-

in that any losses would be made
up by the rate increases.
