North Vancouver Chamber

of Commerce is - seeking a.
provincial government probe

into illegal suites from the
viewpoint of the unfair tax
burden which such suites.

impose on other” property.
owners. in single-family zon-

ed areas.

Patrons of Frank Baker’s
restaurant may continue to
turn right into his parking lot.
off the westbound lane of
Marine Drive approaching
Taylor Way—at least for.
another six months.

West Vancouver council
has deferred taking action on
a staff recommendation to
close off the entry to the
restaurant, following a police
report of 93 motor vehicle
accidents in the 600 block

of the students.

The brief by the Cham-
ber’s Civic Affairs Commit-

tee points out that residents

of illegal suites use commun-
ity facilities -- schools, water,
‘sewers, roads, sidewalks,
parks, police and fire protec-
tion -- without paying. for
‘them. Nor does the owner of .
the illegal suite pay for the
additional use of such ser-
vices by his or her tenants.

The | Chamber. “is - calling
upon the municipal affairs ~
minister to direct :cities and.

. municipalities in taking posi- —

tive steps to. adjust the

inequity, . ‘by. ensuring. that -

owners of illegal suites pay
their fair share of municipal
services.

Marine during the past year.
The report did not, how-

ever, specify how many of.

the accidents involved east-

bound traffic, and how many -

westbound traffic, in that

_ block—which also includes

access tO a car dealership
and a gas station.

Baker told council that, in
14 years of business, his staff
had never reported a serious
accident outside the entry to
his premises.

The refurbished Orpheum
Theatre was the scene of the
25th anniversary concert of
the North Vancouver Youth
Band last Sunday evening.

The concert marked Art
Smith's quarter century of
service to the community as
director of the band.

Through those years many
North Van youngsters have
been members of the band,
and both old and = new
members joined in the
performance to bring the
total numbers of players on
stage to about 150.

The program included two

guest conductors: first,
Arthur Delamont of the
Kitsilano Boys Band, who

conducted three numbers;
and second, Ron Smith.
assistant director of the band
and Art Smith’s son.

Mayor Don Bell of North
Van District and Acting
Mayor Jack Loucks of North

Van City presented a plaque |

to Mr. Smith honoring his
service to the community,
and Cal George, Master of
Ceremonies for the band for
the past 19 years, made a
personal presentation.

Not to be outdone, Mr.
Smith made his own presen-’
tation by giving a picture of
the two conductors to Arthur
Delamont.

A full house in the ‘new'
Orpheum Theatre helped to
make the evening a preat
SUCCESS.

Towards the end of March,
grade 12 students wrote two
tests, mathematics and Eng- ©
lish, which were supplied by
the provincial government.
The purpose of these tests
was not made clear to the
students. In fact, one teacher
I spoke to informed me that
the government never really
explained to the teachers the
purpose of .the tests. Al-
though the students some-

_times referred to the tests as

‘‘literacy tests’’, they could
not understand why grade 12
students were given tests
designed for grade 10 stu-
dents. This week the Inquir-
ing Reporter visited Carson
Graham Secondary -School to
ask: What did you think of
