Council ‘disinterest’ in saving?

Dear Editor:

At our last 1982 Council
meeting I made a motion
that staff be instructed to
prepare a_ report. for
Council’s consideration to
determine whether we could
save taxpayers’ money if

capital projects, planned for
the next few years, such as
road construction, sewer
systems and a_ possible
playing field complex, to
mention a few examples,
would be built now.

‘British disease’ audible

Dear Editor

While it is true than none
ef the majéf unions in
Canada is affiliated with

are currently invested by the
District and could be freed
to pay for such projects.

My motion was prompted
by the fact that, due to the
current economic crisis,
contstruction costs are much
lower now than they were a
year ago.

But Council was singularly
disinterested in finding out
whether there was some
merit in my idea.

I had the distinct im-
pression from Council that
they thought voting against
my motion would make
them appear restraint-

purposes), one seldom hears
a B.C. union executive on
radio or television who does
not have cithér an English,
Irish, Scottish, or Welsh
accent. There is no doubt, of
course, that union activities
have ruined the British
economy. Is it any wonder
that union activities in this
country are referred to as
the “British Disease”?

Certainly unions. ac-
comphshed a great deal
during the early part of the
century in improving
working conditions and
increasing wages. These
improvements were very
necessary, but it is un-
fortunate that somewhere
along the line the unions
were not brought under
control.
