INQUIRING REPORTER

BRITISH COLUMBIA Institute of Technoloyy’s (BCIT) support workers have been 9n strike for about three weeks, causing hardships for large numbers of students currently enrofled in regular end apprenticeship pro- grams. The £&.C. Government Employees Union (BCGEU) says the Socred-appointed board of directors

at BCIT refuses to negotiate 2 contract that should deal with the issue of pay equity. ‘The BCGEU has asked the provincial government to order the direcitcrs to resume bargaining. Labor Minister Moe Sihota said his ministry would take a more active role in the strike but not in- tervene in negotiations.

Should school strikes go on indefinitely?

I think negotiations should kave a_ priority and they should not be suspended because ii af- fects so many thousands

of students.

No way, because they have to consider that they are inconveniencing more people than themselves. Students are usually young and want to get on with careers.

No. [ think it should be allowed to go on no more than one month and then the government should step in. I henesily think strikes have out- done themselves.

North Vancouver There should be binding arbitration right away.

District orders fence removed

AN ATTRACTIVE fence constructed illegally on a municipal boulevard must come down.

By Martin Millerchip Contributing Weiter

So said North Vancouver District Council on Monday night after listening to ewo recent dele- gations by neighbors with adjoin- ing properties on Prospect Road.

At issue is an ornamental trellis built by Bernard Brink in front of his property at 1129 Prospect Ave. “to create a barrier for our privacy and noise reduction from the noisy Nancy Greene Way.”

and plantings during his pres- entation, and several aldermen acknowlerlged the attractiveness of the design,

But Brink’s neighbor to the west, Barbara McLeod, said that she preferred the original uninter- rupted view and that the real issue was traffic safety.

MacLcod pointed out that the fence is only 9% feet behind the curb and encroaches on her view of westbound traffic as she tacks into the street.

District, staff informed council that previous court rulings have

placed municipalities on aotice that if they are informed of sight obstruction in the street right- of-way action must be taken withite a reasonable period of time to remove or reduce the obstruc- tion.

Council members said they had no choice but to order the fence removed, noting that it encrozch- ed on district property by 14% feet.

But Brink had told council that the remaining residents on the block had no objection to leaving the fence in place; he estimated that almost 75% of his neighbors encroached on the boulevard to some extent, and some ‘‘climinate the sidewalk completely.’’
