North Saanich mayor
2aul Grieve and Sidney
mayor Peter Malcolm are
very happy, to say the
least.

The provincial
government Monday
approved grants totalling
$616,000 toward the cost
of a swimming pool and
sports arena in the Dean
Park area.

Malcolm told members
of Sidney council
Monday night that both

he and Grieve are ab-
solutely delighted with:
the grant which was
approved in its full
amount.

He said that the centre can
now be completed in its

original concept at a cost of
$1.85 million.

Funds will not be available
until the end of March next
year but council members were
gratified by the fact that it was
the second largest grant’ in
British Columbia. The largest
went to Delta.

The land in question is
currently held in the

Agricultural Land Reserve, but ;
according to the canididate,
“it is no good for agriculture
anyway.”

Leigh promises to keep
abreast of all developments in
the area of policing costs to
obtain ‘tthe best deal
possible.” ’

And, with the help of ‘the
regional board representative,

TOWN UNDER

There are two water sprigots
on the main wharf and
overhead lighting on the first

and second fingers, he said.

There is-a garbage receptical .

at the head of the second
finger, but Horton admitted it
was accessible to: other people
besides boaters.

Horton stated now the
Department of Environment is
in charge of the wharf, they
assess a berthage charge, but
no utility fee and the overhead
lighting, water and garbage is
still available,

When questioned by Albas,
Hlorton said boaters could plug
into the wharfinger’s outlet
and run hose lengths to the
water sprigots but later said it
would be ‘‘very awkward.”’

When King was called to the
stand he maintained there were
no utilities available.

“I felt these were non-
existant and so f did not pay,’*
he said,

He wrote to the town, and
said he received no reply, but

he-did pay his berthage charges ||,

“in full.’

‘ Furthermore, he stated there”

was no hose provided to get the

water down to the boats and
he would have had to run a
hose length 200 yards to the
nearest lap.

Albas argued the fact was
“not that water was not
available, but that it wasn’t
convenient,” but it) was. still
there.

King went on to say that
only fishermen were allowed to
tie up at the finger closest to
the power outlet.

After consideration, Judge
E.I.C. Stewart reserved
