This year the summer job situation for
college students is the worst in a long time.
On Friday I visited Capilano College to talk
to the students.

Today’s question is:
‘What are you doing

about the poor job

Next week, I'm going out
on “work week” through
the college. Hopefully I'll
get something there. The
situation is really bad and
my friends are having a
hard time finding work.

machanic before 1 went

that to fall back on, too.

not be finally adopted until
May,” Humphreys told The
News.

“But the loss of some
$830,000 expected revenue,”
he added, “must either be
made up by taxation on the
11,000 homes or saved by a
curtailment of certain
services.

“This matter is still under
study.”

Compared to West Van,
the two other North Shore
municipalities appear to be
escaping more lightly.

North Vancouver
District’s Finance Director,
Mel Palmer, says grants to
the District have been cut by
$1.5 million, while the wel-
fare saving will be about
$750,000 — leaving a net loss
of approximately $750,000.

Since, in addition, the Dis-
trict’s population is nearly
twice that of West Van, any
resultant tax increase would
theoretically not exceed
about $30 per average

household. However,
Palmer said the municipality

would “do everything
possible to mitigate the
effect on the taxpayer.” -

North Vancouver City,
with a population slightly
less than West Van, has lost
$879,000 in provincial grants
— offset by a possible wel-
fare saving of $679,000 for a
net loss of about $200,000.

But the City’s treasurer,
Dave Moulding, told The
News there was still some
question as to exactly how
the welfare savings would be
calculated.

Under one formula, he
indicated, the net loss might
increase to over $400,000.
