AB - Wednesday, June 9, 1982 - North Shore News WV garbage pick-up probed A SURVEY of 1,200 West Vancouver firms asking how businessmen feel about garbage collection by private contractors has been distributed by West Van- couver Chamber of Com- merce members. The questionnaire tabulated and presented to municipal officials who last year switched from a municipal- mail-back will be findings operated pickup of residential garbage. Focus of the questionnaire is whether the change from municipal crews to private pickup from _ business premises is an improvement and how does the business community rate the quality of service. The hand-delivered survey package also appeals to business people to join the West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. “It’s essen- tal,” said Mike Nicell, President, “that we have a chamber of commerce representing all areas of the municipality, that can speak with a strong voice.” Business licence holders who receive the garbage questionnaire are asked to send the = self-addressed leaflet to the Chamber of- fice, 1353 Marine Drive.

[7 mailbox ieee Pay-as-you-go paving best Dear Editor: We acknowledge that road maintenance is an essential budget item, and it is realized that certain roads, such as some of those in the British Properties, require early reconstruction. However, we strongly ad- vocate that road main- tenance be funded from current taxation on a pay-as- you-go basis. Borrowing money over a_ ten-year period at current interest rates more than doubles the total cost to the taxpayer. The Directors of the Gleneagies Area Ratepayers Association recommend that this By-law be defeated for the reasons listed below. The memo explaining the program circulated by the Municipality states that an expenditure of $5-6 million will upgrade 10% of our roads. It is further stated that this is the beginning of an ongoing program, which, in the future, will be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. If all the future work for 90% of the roads is to be performed on a pay-as-you- go basis, it seems reasonable that the first part of the program also should be financed this way. No one needs to be reminded that B.C. is suf- fering a major recession, Playcare alive and well Dear Edhtor: I would like to correct a completely erroneous report in your Sunday paper concerning Playcare Society. The first point was the headline on page one “Playcare funding plea gets council backing” would give people the impression that we have been asking the Distnct for funding. This ts not so, as Playcare is funded by the Ministry of Human Resources. On Page AS the headhne ““Playcare closure threatened” 1s so completely wrong | fail to understand how your reporter could have drawn this conclusion We are alive and well and providing a quality preschool programme — for children with emotional and behavourial problems and/or delayed or impaired development I fail to understand where your reporter got the idea B4Al Maan St that we were an agency that “provided a number of community support ser- vices.” I think he has confused us with the North Shore division of the United Way. This brings us to the main point of the letter and what our real concerns are We wrote to all councils asking that they support us and others who are concemed that the United Way North Shore Diviston may be closed due to lack of funds The Playcare Society feel 1 would be a great loss if the North Shore Division were forced to close resulting in the loss of a valuable co ordinating and planning agency for volunteers and numerous other “people hetping” proyects June Fk McMordie Vice chairman North Shore Playcare Society with the highest unemploy- ment that most citizens have expenenced. We have a school budget which is increasing at a rate greater than inflation, and a Municipal budget that was cut back by Council to meet the restraint guidelines of the Provincial Government. It seems less than ap propriate under these cir- cumstances that a further expenditure should be proposed via the back door as a money by-law, which, with interest, nearly equals the total taxation revenue of the Municipality for one year. We further believe that the road improvement program should have been submitted at an early enough date, so that the priorities and ment of the suggested improvements could be debated by each neigh- bourhood affected. In our neighbourhood, we question the priorities established and do not consider a number of ON ES NEL Be OFFICE PERS Juhe Elford Sylvia Gowans TEMPORARY PERMANENT OA OFFICE ASSISTANCE We save you the search yoie 1aOW 15 Street North Vane ouver 984-0251 The finest quality Patio Furniture Taibles trom Chiadrs from 987-4494 RIVERSIDE IRON WORKS Noorth, Voine Ouvelr the roads identified in this first program as being of an immediate priority, requiring expenditures of public funds.
