The: recent mumblings of the

-mayor of North Saanich on the

possible archeological finds in the
dredging of -Wright’s ‘marina,
prompt’a requiem for the whole
issue.

The mayor admits to the poor
handling of the matter in 1982, so

pointing his. finger elsewhere. :In

truth, the matter was not handled
at all, rather it was. dictated. by.
Wright, then adopted by the rigid
amateur planners of our council.
But the mayor as 6-1 against
hero was exposed by the election
of three men strong and true, and
thus obliged to -take “the
responsibility he had avoided in

his personal solidarity against the
marina, and convinced us that
