Since women are. continuing to demand more independence, I thought it was time to do it again. ‘This week: the Inquiring Reporter asks: housewives be paid a sal- ary?’’ North Vancouver City council Monday gave final approval to a bylaw amend- ment restricting future. grain - elevators to the area in which elevators are already located. ~The amendment, which creates a special ‘‘Grain Elevator Zone’’ designated M2-A, did not please Alder- men Ralph Hall and Stella. ‘Jo’ Dean, who have been stout advocates of a tougher stand by the city against the grain companies’ ‘plans to. erect structures over 200 feet in height south of © the Ridgeway residential area, thereby blocking residents’ views of the harbour. Although he voted for the “it’s not the right way. of doing it, but it’s better than nothing.”’ Meanwhile, Dean—who contends that if council had proceeded the way she had originally suggested, elevator projects might have been halted—cast the only oppesing vote. In other business council authorized the city engineer | to arrange for design work and tenders for a roofed concrete sports stand at Mahon Park to replace the 1915 wooden. structure that recently burned down. Cost of the new stand, to be built on the moduiar_ principle so that it can be added to as need arises, is between. estimated at $100, 000 and $150, 000. The problem. of Deep Cove houseboats . floated ” to. the gutface again Monday at North Vancouver District council in the form of a ‘general discussion, with no action being taken. ‘‘Passing the buck’’ was a term used by more than one alderman in referring to the role of the National Warbours Board ta the matter. Last summer council had asked the Harbours Board to examine possible action that might be taken in view of the fact that the liveaboards pay no taxes and do not have proper sewage facilities. ‘Subsequently the Harbours Board referred the problem back to the district.

Bouncing the matter back and forth between municip- alities and the Harbours ‘Board was a ‘‘cop out,”’ according io Aiderman Gordon Rose. He did not feel Deep Cove was a suitable -area for houseboats, but admitted that other areas would have to be found. “It’s like telling someone they have to move their house off their lot,’’. said Rose, ‘‘but you wouldn’t do it unless you could tell them where they could 1 move the house.” Mayor Don Bell. told council the two major ques- tions of sewage and sites were the subjects of discus- sions. he is presently holding | with other: members of the | Greater Vancouver Regional aah od.
