With the approach of Christ- 1
mas, city council last night ac-
cepted a couple of early pres-
ents, i

One was a $1,317 gift from
Associated Engineering Services
Ltd. of Vancouver, and the
other some 3,000 Japanese
cherry trees from former city
resident Tom Shimizu, now of
Edmonton.

The AES gift was the waiving
of the costs of its work on the
Prince Rupert swimming pool.
The company felt that since the
work was being done by volun-
teers, its own engineering work
should be part of the contribu-
tion “to Lhis worthwhile under-
taking.”

The company asked that the
work it has done be considered
simply as part of its retainer.

Youncil decided to write to
the company thanking them for
ther generosity.

“Mr, Shimizu’s offer was made
