BACK AT WORK

Continued from Page 1
Town Clerk Geoff Logan, said

as an attempt to bypass the

local 374, had voted Thursday
union. Sidney and Saanich

to reject the settlement.

The proposal calls for an
average wage increase of 27.7
per cent for inside workers
and 24.3 per cent for outside
workers, up to Oct. 1, 1975.

After the 1975 increases are
made, wage increases will be
tied to the cost of living. Under
the terms of the proposed
settlement employees would
be allowed 3 cents per hour
per full point the Canadian
Prices Index rises. In addition
there would be a 6 per cent
across the board increase to
take effect Jan. 1, 1976.

The first step in the wage
increases, retroactive to
January Jan. 1, 1975, would
give a base rate for outside
labourers of $5.38 and a base
rate for inside clerical
workers of $626.00 a month.

Base rate increases to Oct.
1, 1975 for inside workers will
be 42.7 per cent, while outside
workers will receive an in-
crease in their base rate Sept.
1, 1975 of 26.7 per cent.

Saanich and Sidney em-
ployees will not have a strike
vote, it was decided at an
executive meeting of the
CUPE local Monday.

The employees want to “‘get "
right back to the bargaining
table,’’ according to Sidney
shop steward George Foley.

Negotiations on the new
contract will continue while
employees continue to work
-under the 1974 contract. Any
settlement made will be
retroactive to Jan. 1, 1975,
excluding ,the period of the
lockout.

the move could be construed | workers, members of CUPE

MOTOR VEHICLE LICENCES were on sale again
in Sidney Monday, with Margaret White back at

her post behind the town hall counter.

THE SIDNEY SEWAGE PLANT is working ‘‘not

Monday as he checked sewage lift stations for

flooding.

PLEADS GUILTY TO SMUGGLING

Continued from Page 1

His department, he said,
had decided it was a ‘‘case for
prosecution, because it was
repetitive.”

It is usual in cases where
offenses are repeated and
where they appear to be
planned, rather than in error,
for the federal government to
lay a charge, he added. Often,
he said, charges are laid for
the ‘‘purpose of warning
others” and to establish one
conviction should the offence
be repeated. Penalties are
stiffer for subsequent in-
fractions, he said.

The marina faced
maximum fines of $1000 on
each count, Strong said, and
the Act also includes provision
for jailing offenders for up to
four years,

Defence lawyer Michael
Ellis told the court that the
company knew nothing of the
offenses until informed of the
charges and, on investigation,
discovered the responsibility
belonged to a former
manager. The former em-
ployee is no longer with the
firm, Ellis said, although is is
still a stockholder.

In reply to this, Strong said,

Judge Green noted that
present company officials
were with the firm at the time
and either did know. or should
have known of the infraction.

Strong said that when boats

were shipped to the marina
from Sweden, extra parts and
accessories were loaded into
them or installed and not
shown on relevant invoices.
One charge also. included
undervaluation of boats, he
said.
’ An official of the harbours
and wharves administration,
although he refused to be
quoted directly, told The
Review Tuesday that he
doubted whether the
smuggling conviction would
have any effect on future
federal government
assistance for the firm.

With reference toa dredging
scandal in Eastern Canada,
the spokesman said, govern-
ment policy had dictated that
a criminal activities in one
area did not effect contracts
or assistance in another.

“I assume the samc prin-
ciple obtains here,’ he said,

The federal government
awarded a $60,000 contract
early last year for dredging at
Bosun’'s Marina.

0.A.P.O.

Approximately eighty
members, visitors and eight
members from the newly
formed ‘‘Evergreen’’? Branch
No. 133, Victoria were present
at the May 1 meeting of the
Sidney Branch No. 25 OAPO,
held in the Senior Citizens’

of Mr. Jack Rogers who is at
present in hospital recovering
from surgery. It is reported
that he is in satisfactory
condition and will be home
soon. Business of the day
included plans to host a tea
and shrub planting ceremony
for the patients at the Ex-
tended Care Hospital, Mt.
Newton Cross Road, on May 12

at convener. Fifteen to twenty
members of Branch No. 25. will
entertain and serve tea and
cookies to as many patients
that are able to participate, in
cooperation with Mrs. Ann
Spicer, Convener of the co-
ordinating committee at the
unit.

Mrs. Mary Briggs gave a
full report on the Island
Regional Council meeting held
April 18 in Nanaimo at which
twenty-five Island branches
were represented.

Guest speaker at the May 1
meeting , Mr. Hugh Curtis,
M.L.A. for Saanich and the
Islands, gave a very in-
teresting and friendly talk on
non-partisan topics, especially
those which had a bearing on
senior citizens’ affairs. He
invited letters if anyone had a
problem which could be dealt
with, regardless of party
affiliation, because, he said,
people should come before
party at all times. He ably
answered questions put to him
and he received a harty vote of
thanks for his talk.

The Annual Provincial
0.A.P.0. convention will take
place in Nanaimo on June 18,
19 and 20 and Mrs. Edith
Smith, Mr, Jack Rogers and
