Limit election lawn signs

Dear Editor:

1, and } am sure many others, am tired of secing election lawn signs being placed on various public boulevards and roadsides.

These signs are an eyesore but 1, like most other candidates, con- tinue to put them up in public properties.

Why? Because as a candidate I face a dilemma.

By putting up the signs in public

areas I receive greater name rec- ognition and increase my chances

‘Vote Yes? on referendum

Dear Editor:

The Friends of Cypress urge West Vancouver electors to vote Yes on Nov. 20 to two crucial referendum ques- tions . pertaining to.the pro- tection of our municipality owned old-growth forest.

Voting Yes to the first question will give permanent protection as a dedicated park to 133.6 acres of forest adja- cent to the: Cypress Bowl _ Road.

' This tract, containing trees up. to 900 years old, - was slated to become a golf course until voters rejected the pro-

’ posal in a referendum three years ago.

A Yes te the second ques- “tion will direct council to ‘undertake. a study of other remaining old growth . on “municipaf lands for possible future park dedication.

‘ This referendum provides a ‘unique opportunity to ensure that.. our. remnant of the

coasta! mountain old-growth ‘forest ecosystem will be pro- _ tected from expanding ur- .-banization and will serve to educate .and inspire genera- 1 tions to come. Donald Graham - - Friends of Cypress

Next election, let's limit election lawn signs to private property on- ly.

We would no longer have an unsightly appearance to many of our public areas and the signs that are put up would more accurately

Where’s fiscal

Dear Editor:

What does our municipal level of government mean by fiscal re- sponsibility?

I like people whe are gencrous with their own money and miserly with other people’s.

Some nationalities, to one of which I proudly belong, have earned a reputation for being very reluctant spenders and I think it’s time we have some Scots, Jewish, Dutch or Swiss on our North Vancouver. district council.

This is with direct reference to the six full pages of North Van- couver district council advertise- ments which ran in the North Shore News recently.

reflect the popularity of the can- didate in the municipality.

As well, all candidates would probably not have to produce as many signs as before and therefore would be more caring of the environment.

1 believe everyone would benefit from this: the candidates, the en- vironment, and most of all, the public.

responsibility?

These ads were various bylaws -

and amendmezts thereto and contained a total of 23 survey map extractions each blown up to a costly four-inch square.

The same six pages ran not once but. fwice: Sunday, Oct. 24 and Wednesday, Get. 27.

In high school, we used to learn the art of precis.

Sweating blood, we crammed a page and a half of flowerly prose into 50 words or less. Used to wonder how it would ever apply to real life.

Maybe I just found out.
