NVD Council attitude inspires terror

Dear Editor:

I keep experiencing incredulicy
when I read the news and, in a
profound way, sheer, relentless
terror. I refer, on this occasion, to
North Vancouver District Council,
who, when discussing the Greater
Vancouver Transportation Task
Force study, were unable to second
a motion by Alderman Ernie Crist

that rapid public transit options be
added to council’s concerns (North
Shore News, July 26).

This local lack of leadership in
the face of the realities of global
warming is frightening. We have
been informed by scientists that
the combustion of fossil fuels are
responsibie and that car emissions
are the major source.

Still waiting fer cart

Dear Editor:

We were very amused to read
your article NVD still trying to
unload waste carts in the July 9
Paper. .

Perhaps we can shed some light
on why North Vancouver District
has at least one surplus cart in
their care.

We mailed our order form and
cheque for a waste cart in early
January. To date we have not
received our cart, despite a tele-
phore cail to NVD offices and
confirmation by the accounts
department that the order was
received and our cheque cashed in
February.

Subsequent telephone cails have
been met with profuse apologies
and an assurance that the matter
will be looked into, but, alas, still
no waste cart.

We are not too concerned about
an explanation for the delay (nor-
mal delivery is three weeks, we are
teld). However, we would be
delighted to awake one morning to
discover our wasie cart has been
safely delivered to its rightful
owner and the crows, dogs and
raccoons forced to seek another
address to scavenge garbage on
garbage day.

Use carts for clippings

Dear Editor:

Glad to see that North Van-
couver District still has over 3,000
of those ridiculously large, wheeled
garbage cans.

When one is recycling (and
hopefully we all will be doing so
next year) one’s paper, metal arid
glass, and has a compost heap, it is
difficult to have more than one

an baby fat

brown paper shopping bag of gar-
bage a week.

However, they might be very
good if used specifically for garden
clippings. These could ther be
picked up separately and taken di-
rectly to the new chipper/shredder
near the North Shore Transfer Sta-
