Nan whee

couver’s Woodcroft apart-~
ments were awakened by the
sound of fire alarm bells
shortly after 3 a.m. Wednes-
day, nobody was particularly
understanding about it when
the door to the building was
opened and revealed a man

who declared: “Well, it’s
about time.”
None of the residents

clambering down the stairs
of the 19-storey building
towards the exits appeared
to consider pulling the fire
alarm an acceptable way for
any resident of the building
to gain access even when he
was locked out without his
keys.

And the fact that the man
happened to be the number
one staff member of North
Vancouver District, Muni-
cipal Manager Doug Welsh,
returning from the muni-
cipality’s annual .awards
dinner appeared to do noth-

of the fire crew. The officer
stated in his report: “The
suspect was found to be in a
very intoxicated condition
and did not realize the
severity of his actions.”
Contacted by the News
some hours later at District
hall, Welsh had nothing to

say other than “no com-
ment.”
Mayor Marilyn Baker

didn’t whant to talk about it,
either.

“I don’t have any com-
ment to make,” she said. “I
think what our staff do on
their own time isin their own
purview and not for the
municipality to dictate.”

Now it is also in the pur-
view of the prosecutor's
staff.

According to an RCMP
spokesman, the initial report
of the investigating officer,
with its recommendations
that no charges should be

WELSH...‘no comment’

laid was not accepted by one
of his superiors, who
decided the question of pro-
secution should be left to
Crown counsel to decide.
The RCMP spokesman
said the question of prosecu-
tion would involve a legal
term known as mens rea -

He said such questions of
intent normally apply in the
case of “people who are
intoxicated
minded.”
