catching a ride. The bus
doesn’t stop there.

More than a dozen of

Gary Crawford, a
former city transit official
now PTSI president, said
the city had approved
location of the shelters,
including three not on bus
routes and a fourth across
the street from a stop.

“I don’t understand
why they didn’t tell me
they moved the bus
routes,” Crawford said.

——fir€ alarms in North Van

schools are answered by
both departments under
their mutual aid
arrangement, regardless of
which municipality the
school is in. But MacDonald
says the number of. false
alarms in schools last year
reached such disturbing
proportions that it’s time to
crack down.

He bes threatened not to
respond to alarms at District
schools which are regular
offenders until initial

‘response crews have in fact

ascertained that there is a
-fire.

At a press conference
called for the North Shore
-News and attended by the
fire chiefs of all three North
Shore departments, Mac-
Donald suggested that the
fire department responsible
for the area within which a
school is located ” should
attend and determine
whether the alarm is genuine
before the neighboring fire
department also attends.

At the time it was made,
North: Van City Fire Chief
Dick Hallaway thought the
suggestion might be worth
acting upon.

But since attending the
meeting in the school board
offices, he now says: “There
