Heritage house has heritage tree

present, is purely voluntary and
applicants are fully aware of and
in fact desire building restrictions
on their heritage homes.

Under the program,
homes already in the heritage in-
ventory can write to council re-
questing designation. Says Burns,
“A bylaw is then prepared and
goes 10 first, second, third and
fourth readings before it is
adopted. The site is then officially
designated pursuant to the pro-
vincial Heritage House Desig-

owners of

nation Act.
In addition to the home at 390
Kings is a heritage tree on the

property, a black walnut. The
wood is considered to be so
valuable that a wood company

even offered to buy the tree for a
considerable sum. Unfortunately,
although the tree is in the
district’s heritage inventory the
provincial Act does not currently
permit the designation of natural
features.

“A provincial body is looking
at that right now,"’ says Burns.

Thirty-one per cent of the

homes listed in tne North Van-
couver District: heritage inventory
are in the North Lonsdale Histor-
ical District; this includes 32
buildings on the primary and sec-
ondary fist and 23 on the sup-
plementary list. (The supplemen-
tary list consists of homes which
have been altered from their orig-
inal character but which could be
restored.)

Burns expects that next year,
when the district celebrates its
centennial, heritage designation
will be especially promoted.

Ontario Hydro recently jaunch-

centrates on getting people to
switch to cold on the rinse cycle.

THE CONVENIENT

For sanitary reasons, detergent
manufacturers suggest using hot
water and liquid bleach to clean
cloth diapers. ‘Our campaign is a
lot more ambitious. There has
been a slow trend since the 1980's
for people to switch to cold water
washing. We aim to make that
trend take a sharp upswing and
put us rapidly on the road to an-
