§ Dear Editor:

It was with great interest that I read the
business report card on North Vancouver in
your Aug. 3] paper.

I can only write about my experiences

with North Vancouver District after years of

A protracted battles with them and their

north shore

\Disirict duplication suffocating business

bylaws.

First paint: taxes. Business and residential
taxpayers should be aware that North
Vancouver District spends hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars cach year to duplicate federal
and provincial environmental resources.

Why we need an environmental enforce-

ment agency at the district level should be of

great concern to all North Vancouver District
taxpayers.

Second point: bylaws. Iris my opinion
that half of North Vancouver District's
resources are used writing new bylaws and
the other half is used enforcing existing ones.

The associated cost of this bylaw-heavy
government must be astronomical.

No wonder business complains, the local
residential taxpayer should alse: be complain-
ing.
