noted
in
the

as
evidence
that

The

Eighteen

According
to
a
report
to

recently
the

ment
is
generally
on
a

basis

the

The

entire
snow

ques
question
¬
tion
a
policy
endorsed
by
council
recently
with
two
dis
dissenting
¬
senting
votes
is
that
money
spent
keeping
streets
clear
is
money
that
melts
into
the
Fraser
River
next
spring
in
other
words
a
waste
The
budget
for
snow
removal
in
1973
half
of
which
was
spent
in
the
first
part
of
the
year
at
the
end
of
a
very
light
winter
is
slightly
more
than
200000
We
will
continue
to
rec
recognize
¬
ognize
the
philosophy
that
all
funds
spent
on
snowplowing
and
removal
do
not
result
in
any
permanent
improvement
and
we
will
attempt
to
keep
the
streets
in

has
dropped
its
appeal
against
the

City
assessor
Hal

said
the
appeal
against

was
lodged
in

The

argued
that
plowing
residential
streets
between
two
and
four
times
during
a
winter
as
the
report
says
is
not
good
enough
The
two
said
taxpayers
are
more
than
willing
to
pay
the
burden
of
increased
snow
plowing
costs
in

to
have
their

They
were

Its
a

Winter
has
come
in
earnest
with
more
than
15
inches
of
snow
dumped
on
city
streets
during
the
past
week
and
many
residents
are
irate
because
their
streets
werent
cleared
within
a

of
the
first
snowfall
Telephonclines

Tuesday
were
plugged
with
complaining

as
badly
as
many

were
plugged

School

angers

By

Graham
Citizen
Staff

Stepped
up
winter
busing
of
students
has
been
put
off
indefinitely
and
parents
from
a
rural
area
are
up
in
arms
over
what
an
official
describes
as
a
critical
shor
shortage
¬
tage
of
bus
drivers
School
district
spokesman
Stu
Drinnan
said
today
that
no
drivers
can
be
found
for
the
buses
and
the
winter
schedule
which
should
have
started
Monday
has
been
postponed
Meanwhile
a
delegation
of
angry
Miworth
Otway
parents
descended
upon
a
school
board
meeting
Tuesday
to
demand
action
on
their
two
month
old
campaign
for
improved
service
to
the
rural
area
The
groups
spokesman
said
the
bus
runs
are
over
overcrowded
¬
crowded
and
dangerous
and
that
one
bus
loaded
with
chil
children
¬
dren
was
forced
to
back
down
Cranbrook
Hill
Tuesday
after
failing
to
make
the
grade
The
group
had
appeared
at
an
earlier
board
meeting
to
demand
an
additional
bus
because
children
were
forced
to
sit
in
aisles
and
spent
long
hours
away
from
home
due
to
the
scheduling
One
parent
asked
This
thing
has
been
dragging
on
for
two
months
now
Why
hasnt
anything
been
done
The
parent
was
told
the
dis
district
¬
trict
has
been
unable
to
find
a
driver
for
an
additional
bus
The
repeated
claims
of
over
overcrowding
¬
crowding
led
trustee
Chuck
Truscott
to
propose
a
day-by-day
head
count
be
taken
on
the
bus
and
the
results
reported
to
the
board
Drinnan
said
the
driver
shortage
is
felt
province
wide
but
is
particularly
criti
critical
¬
cal
here
He
blames
it
on
heavy
construction
activity
which
has
increased
local
employment
and
on
the
fact
that
driving
a
school
bus
is
a
part
time
activity
It
pays
wages
on
the
union
scale
he
said
It
might
be
just
the
job
for
an
aggressive
housewife
The
vehicles
are
large
but
not
that
difficult
to
handle
after
a
little
practice
He
said
the
district
already
has
seven
women
bus
drivers
