It was revealed on Thursday that B.C. has
the highest crime rate in the country. It was
noted that there was a great increase in thefts
from homes and cars.

Today’s question is:

“What can be done about _
our high crime rates?”

I think neighbors can
help by calling the police
when they see anything.

lock all your windows and

I chain my motorcycle
when I leave it, but it has
been vandalized on
occasion. In the apart-
ment where I live, thieves
stole the fridge and stereo

’ from a camper. I think
some people just don’t
give a care about the law.
Many are frustrated and
have no hope for the

future.

Maybe the laws
regarding crimes. by
youths should be

toughened and enforced
strictly. I think if is
foolish to carry a gun or
weapon for protection. If
you are on vacation, have
a friend look after your
house.

1 don't think anyone
really knows how to
lower the crime rate. The
other night I called the
police when 1 saw a
young man climbing
through a window into my
house He got away, but

others nearby breaking
into cars It 1s becoming

Court decision termed —
‘major adverse ruling’

by the motel owners in
and the mobile
home owners were served
notice in March.

But the tenants filed
notices of dispute and had a
hearing before the Ren-
talsman. At that time he
ruled the termination notices
were - invalid because the

‘landlord had failed to obtain

prior approval for the
development from _ the
municipality.

The landlord appealed the
to the Supreme
Court of British Columbia
and in a decision handed
down August 10, Judge B.M.

McLachlin upheld the
appeal.
She ruled that “the

Rentalsman erred in law in
reaching the conclusion that.
the termination notices were
void, as well as in finding
that the written tenancy
agreements cannot. be
terminated prior to expiry of
their full term.”

The North Shore Tenant's

Association which has taken
‘up the cause for the six
remaining mobile home
ownerssaid because of this
decision “the Mobile Homes
and ‘their residents must go
as SOOR as a new hearing can
be conducted by the Ren-
talsmans Officé where the
final eviction date will be
set.”

Because of the cost in-
volved, Greg Richmond,
spokesman for the
association, said only the
Rentalsman’s Office can
appeal the court decision.

A spokesman for the
Rentalsman said they have
not yet made a decision on
whether to appeal the case.

Richmond said three of
the original nine tenants
have already moved because
“they couldn't handle the
strain.”

He said the other tenants
have nowhere to go. There is
no other area on the North
Shore zoned for mobile
homes.

“The tenants are angry
and frightened because
