TERRACE COUNCIL REVERSES POSITION

Doug Mumford reversed

David Pease in voting down

. the bylaw.

Jolliffe at firat tried to
table the matter, but his
motion failed with the
mayor, once again, casting

the deciding vote.
* Jolliffe said that he voted
against the bylaw because
of statements attributed to
Madig owner, Mario Di
Giovanni, in last Thursday's
Herald. .
In the Herald article, Di
Giovanni admitted that he

had told the district of
‘Terrace he was building a

potato warehouse so that he

Giovanni) did the right

Herald, but he said that he
might be ‘willing to change
his position talking
with the developer.

But the three other

the bylaw indicated that
they would not change their
