through the -Capital Regional
District, would be repayabie over
15 years. According to Joan
“Purchase, Regional Board

total assessment values for’ the
islands increase, Miss Purchase
notes, the mill rate can be ex-
pected to drop.

Chief expenditure would be
$20,600 for anew fire truck with a
1,000 gallon tank. The fire hall
would be on a centrally-located
5.3. acre piece of property on
North Pender (the former Rod

cemetery), which can be pur-
chased for $6,000. Alterations to
the existing building on . the
property are estimated at $12,600.
Cost of well-drilling and road
work would be about $2,500. Other
equipment to be acquired: twe
portable pumps, hoses. and
nozzles, porto-tank, sirens, etc. A

is also proposed.
