trouble to become informed
“on my.
“Revenue Sites” before
voting on this question,
rather than follow Mr.
Howard's, lead of com-
menting without knowing
the facts.
' If he‘had contacted me he
would have learned I am
. proposing that we
‘legalize: revenue suites in
instances. where the owner is
occupant in the home.
Single family zoning would
remain, but young people
wanting to buy a home
would be able to get a boost
in income from a revenue

suite which could make a
home purchase viable.

People faced with high
interest rates and mortgage
payments could get some
relief with rental income,
and seniors and others on

‘fixed incomes could stay in

their homes, because there
would be someone else in
the house and they would
have necessary additional
income.

It is probably true many
existing suites would not
meet health and safety
regulations. That is precisely
why they should be subject
to: minimum health and
safety standards to ensure
our residents are not living in
potentially dangerous ac-

commodations. The
knowledge that the suite was
legal . would allow

homeowners to invest in
improvements without fear

of the suite being found out
and closed.
Any additional City costs
to inspect suites would be
more than offset by in-
creased licenced revenue.
Obsolete laws are bad
laws, and because they can’t
be enforced, the public
disregards them. Isn't it a sad
situation when laws are only
enforcd on complaint, and
the occupants of suites live
under the daily threat that
they will be reported, and
turned out into a zero
vacancy rental market.
Taxes would be basically
no different from a house
with a finished basement and
a house with a basement
suite. The city is already
charging extra water and
sewer rates and certainly the
rental income now earned
from ‘illegal suites” is
required to be declared as

Protection against vandals

Dear Editor:

After the conclusion of the
Crime Prevention Series on
Cable ‘West (Cable 10) there
will be a "phone-in question
and answer program on
Thursday, December 17
from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. This
is sponsored by Cable West
and the Police Liaison
Committee of the City of
North Vancouver.

A panel will answer

questions and will give
advice on how to protect
your home, or neigh-
bourhood, or business
premises from theft, van-
dalism and arson.

I also wish to express my
appreciation to the voters
who turned out in such
numbers on election day. I

will continue to be available’

to anyone with a problem or
suggestion and I will con-

now. To do otherwise is a
contravention of the Income
Tax Act.

I would welcome the
opportunity to discuss my
proposal with any citizén so
they can be informed. My
home phone number is 298-
7947 and my office number
is 986-4321. A phone call to
Mr. Howard will only serve -
to confuse.

I will be writing a more
detailed outline of my
“Revenue Suite” proposal
for the North Shore News
early in 1982. It is too broad
a subject to attempt to deal
with at this time.
