such refuse.

One is the Vancouver

But manager of the
company's Canadian opera-

told the News the firm has
not handled a shipment from

February.

And the company has
been dealt a severe blow
since the U.S. closed its

ILLEGAL DUMPING

District manager Doug
Welsh told the council
meeting that one of the
ground level difficulties the
District has is in even identt-
fying the extent of the
problem in local industry.

Council asked municipai
staff to imvestigate further
and come up with a list of
disposal companies.

Alderman John Lakes
pointed out that chemical
refuse was not the only
problem. He said the District
had to tell people to get md
of unsightly waste but could
not advise them where to
dump it.

He commented: “We are
