apircd
objection
on
me
part
of
city
council
members
was
one
which
provides
that
the
city
shall
take
over
sewer,
water
and
street
maintenance
services
which
were
built
and
are
now
maintained
by
the
Crown
corporation.
The
aldermen
felt
that,
while
this
clause
might
be
equitable
in
other
communities,
it
could
not
be
applied
tn
Piince
Rupert,
where,
they
said,
the
greater
part
cf
th
cftsrw-tnstaliatlcn
was
in
the
Rusltbrook
Heights
subdivision
which
are
exclusive
wartime
housing
areas
and
which,
the
city
would
like
to
see
eliminated.
Sale
of
houses
in
this
district
they
feel,
might
lead
to
a
condition
where
the
city
would
be
put
(o
the
expense
of
maintaining
and
eventually
replacing,
utility
services
for
a
small
number
of
remotely-situated
homes
at
high
cost.
Balancing
factors
in
the
new
agreement
are:
1.
An
opportunity
for
the
inclusion
of
a
number
of
houses
(estimated
at
100)
to
be
placed
on
the
municipal
tux
roll,
thereby
increasing
the
city's
tax
revenue.
2.
The
city
tn
purchase
