Saanich and the. Islands MLA Hugh Curtis
pulled off. a real coup in getting a $3 million
fund for the Saanich Peninsula water project
and the inevitable downgrading which followed,
as ‘it. always does,
“minimize the achievement.

It will, whatever the interpretation, have the
ef fect of cutting the cost of water to Peninsula

municipalities. are playing dog- in- -the-manger
with the water supplies.

As Peninsula Water Commission chairman.
j oe Taylor is reported as saying, it will not bring —
‘absolute. price parity with the core

_ water to the peninsula much more palatable to
all.

'
>

In.-an enterprise of the. magnitude and .
complexity of this water line it is possible to —

: make figures. prove almost anything but no one
can detract from the value of the fund, which is

_ Well designed to best serve the cause for which it
is s intended.

Hospital Wing

Half Completed

A $50,000 wing to the
extended care section of the

“Saanich Peninsula Hospital

is about half completed,
according to. Art Kool,
chairman of the hospital
committee of the Sidney

- Lions . Club which is
donating the addition to the’

; . hospital.
The room, measuring

about 30 by 20 feet, is being
constructed in two. stages.
Presently the area is glassed
in with a partial. wall,
fireplace and barbecue

completed. It is a space, |

Kool said Friday, for old

- people to ‘sit outdoors but

out of the wind.

’ A roof will be placed on
the sunroom next year or
the year after ata probable

- cost of $20,000 or more.

The project was un-

_ dertaken by the club about

nine months ago.
John Stevens, hospital
administrator, says the sun

- space has been well -used

this summer and enjoyed by
the residents in the extended
care wing of the hospital.
