TERRACE COUNCIL REVERSES POSITION

Doug Mumford reversed their stands and joined Helmut Giesbrecht and David Pease in voting down

. the bylaw.

Jolliffe at firat tried to table the matter, but his motion failed with the mayor, once again, casting

the deciding vote. * Jolliffe said that he voted against the bylaw because of statements attributed to Madig owner, Mario Di Giovanni, in last Thursday's Herald. . In the Herald article, Di Giovanni admitted that he

had told the district of ‘Terrace he was building a

potato warehouse so that he

could go ahead and construct what was, in fact. a modular home ant accessories plant,

“[ don't think he- (De Giovanni) did the right

thing,” Jolliffe told the Herald, but he said that he might be ‘willing to change his position talking with the developer.

But the three other alderman who voted against the bylaw indicated that they would not change their

And Doug Mumford, who said that he voted against the bylaw because he believes “that I was trying to be deceived,” stated that he would not switch unless he can be shown that the building had been intended for {ts original purpose.
