for careful attention to deta‘i and
well prepared homework for ¢un-

Also entering his fifth term is
Ald. Ernie Crist. ‘‘Your record of
hard work on specific topics of
neighborhood interest, as weil as
your concern for broad community
and regional planning issues brings
a valuable perspective to council
discussions,’’ Baker said.

Beginning a fourth term is Ald.
Murray Dykeman. ‘“‘As chairman
of the North Shore Union Board

Ald. Craig Clark is entering his
third term. Mayor Baker thanked
him for his time and energy on the

stituted a system of committecs,
comprised of three aldermen and a
staff member, in order that the
aldermen could contribute more
effectively to the work of council.

system has worked reasonably well
and as a_ result, individual
aldermen have been able to play a
much more effective role in the
decision-making process than was
ever the case in past years,’’ Lan-
skail said after the new council was
sworn into office by provincial
court Judge R.D. Grandison.
