A West Vancouver policeman was led on a chase that reached 130 km. h. on stretches of Marine drive after a motorist went through a radar check and refused to stop.

A Quebec man is now in jail at the Lower Mainland Regional Correctional Cen- tre (Oakalla) awaiting trial on various charges arising from the incident.

Constable Vic Wiebe drove after the blue 1967 Valiant, having allegedly clocking it at 66 km. as it was travelling cast on the 1800 block Marine Drive Monday morning.

But the driver refused to stop and drove through a red traffic light at Marine and 3th. Street and then again at Taylor Way.

A North Vancouver City alderman is concerned about a possible confrontation between the Squamish In- dian Band and the City over the Band's refusal to stop fill- ing in the mouth of Mosquito Creek.

Alderman Bill Sorenson expressed his concern at Monday's council meeting, following a report from the City’s engineer on the nar- rowing and diversion of the creek by the band.

In the past few years, fill- ing has been carried out by the band on its property ad- jacent to Mosquito Creek and the most recent filling occurred about six weeks ago, City Engineer, Tom Scott, told council.

The filling is restricting the water flow at the mouth of the creek, and diverting it towards the City’s bulkhead at the seawall, Scott charg- ed.

The interference with the flow of the creek could result in flooding at the foot of: Bewicke Avenue and damage to City and public property, according to Scott.

Scott added he has written to advise the band of the possible consequences of restricting the flow of Mos- quito Creek.

But Mayor Jack Loucks pointed out that the band could ignore a letter and he told council a phone call would be more effective.

Council should approach the government agencies in charge of the lands, Alder- man Gordon Cross sug- gested, but Loucks pointed out the federal authorities have ignored letters from the City advising of the situa- tion.

And letters have been sent since June, 1978, Alderman

Stella Jo Dean told council.

“We should not have let the situation go as far as it has, and we are at the point of no return now,” she added.

Scott advised council to direct the City solicitor to serve the band with formal notice holding the band responsible for any damage to City or public property caused by the filling in.

Council should follow all the suggestions, Loucks told the meeting, and contact the City solicitor, the band and the federal agencies involv- ed.

UNAWARE

But Sorensen argued that the people responsible for the filing in of the creek may not be aware of coun- cil’s concern and should be given an opportunity to res- pond to Scott’s letter before further action is taken.

Council doesn’t want a confrontation with the band, Alderman Garry Payne agreed, but he added that the foot of Bewicke Avenue is part of the city’s limited

waterfront access and the possibility of flooding in the area makes the situation critical.

Council’s decision to ad- vise the agencies involved of their responsibility to the Ci- ty, “sounds strong on record, but doesn’t mean a confron- tation,” Loucks told the meeting.

Council finally voted to re- quest federal, provincial and harbour agencies involved to restore the creek to its original state as well as ad- vising the band of its respon- sibihty for any damage that might result from the filling at the creek mouth.
