Port Coquitlam,B.C.

Attention: Mayor Traboulay
Dear Sir;

This letter is long overdue to your office and I have deliberately
held off writing it until I could be more civilized about it.

Sir, I would like to move you and your family into my strata
apartment for a duration of more than tnree montns and you

would more than likely be more conscientious about what

happens in your city. Between the rental complexes in our
neighbourhood and the strata complexes along with the few

Single family dwellings left_WE DESERVE BETTER TREATMENT FOR
OUR TAX DOLLARS. I am tired of complaining to the R.C.M.P.

and getting told they do not have enough manpower to assist

us and being told how City Hall will not authorize more officers
for Port Coquitlam. I have complained to City Hall before about
the problems and have been told “due to the lack of funds---".
Now, If you have money to tear apart City Hall and build what
looks to be a brick wall of China around it you have money to
do some cleaning up in our neighbourhood. And before you tell
me to sell and move if I don't Like it I would like to tell
you I have lived in the same block for 18 years and have my
place up for sale now because of all the problems and CAN'T

SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE LOCALITY AND THE PROBLEMS.

First of all there is an arsonist loose in the area. This person.
burned up all our garbage and the fence a month ago. On June 3rd
this person set fire to the large garbage container behind Frisco's
and burned up the jeep parked in our neighbour's yard. When I

went to the R.C.M.P. to see what was being done about this preblem
I get the "we can't be everywhere with the few men we have but

we will file a complaint with the arson squad routine". I doubt
that anything will be done. [f asked to have the R.C.M.P. go tnru
our lane etc. a few times a night on the weekends and we are back
to the "Lack of manpower" reasoning. I sympathize with the police
force. TRey can't be everywhere at the same time trying to handle
barking dog complaints, loud parties and murders all in the same
split second. Please do something about this problem! !
