City still tax-fishing

ANOTHER HOOK has been
set lO Snag more tax money
for North Vancouver City.
This nme, City aldermen
will be going after the
provincial government for
money for non-tax paying

Institutions that serve
regional needs.
The Pacific Marine

Training Insititue. B.C. Rail
and I1.C.B.C. are such
facilities they hope to get
money for.

The move comes just days
after the City’s attempt to get
more tax money from
waterfront giants was
slapped down by the
assessment authority.

The City has also gone
after taxes on Burrard
Y arrows’ floating dry dock.

They did this in spite of
industry claims that council
gave its assurance not to ask
for taxes for the facility in

Dean claims will leave the
City “scrimping”™ to meet its
bills.

Alderman Gary Payne
told council that when
Premier Bill Bennett stood in
council chambers in 1979
“we thought he had
promised that all the
property on the Lonsdale
Quay development would
pay taxes.”
