Dear Editor:

Thank you, Ald. Ralph
Hall, for your letter which
appeared recently in the
Sunday News.

As a homeowner-taxpayer
in the City of N.V. for some
35 years, I have followed and
discussed the question of
amalgamation between the
city and District of N.V.
over the years.

Mayor Bell is undoubtedly
aware that the financial and
political advantages would
accrue to the District.

Since the District is and
will be undergoing very
costly development in the
future -- requiring roads,
water, fire, library facilities
and services, etc...... result,
higher taxes.

The City is now in an
enviable position of being
almost fully developed and

Merger favors District

serviced....this should result
in lower taxes.

Buried as we are in an
economic recession, in-
flation, etc., the City of N.V.
does not need the projected
$100,000 study to satisfy the
ambitious mayor and other
assorted politicians who are
now anxious for. brownie
point votes on Nov. 21st.

The only amalgamation
worthy of thought would be
metro or North Shore
amalgamation (City and
District of N.V. and West
Vancouver).

The provincial govern-
ment would do well to ex-
plore and drastically trim
municipal budgets prior to
presenting an amalgamation
package to the electorate.
The taxpayers could then
judge the relative ad-
vantages and disadvantages.

1. An effective fitness program makes you fit and

causes no harm.

when there’s music to move by — from Rock

to Bach!

_ 3. Enthusiastic instructors mean enthusiastic sessions.
Fitness that's fun is contagious!

I would personally favor ‘926-2615

“amalgamation” proceeding
in this direction.

A referendum — should
indeed be put to the citizens
of the City of N.V. on Nov.
21st to ascertain their
wishes. |

I venture to predict a NO
vote against amalgamation.
I'm even taking bets.
