Alderman George Renner chairs the corporate services committee and proposes a $50 or $100 deposit for new utility accounts to cover possible nonpayment. City figures show Hatters owed utilities $217,003 in 1998, 0.36 percent of total utility revenue, a rising share over a decade. The finance department will study deposits and other debt-collection options and report back in months.

City weighs deposits and tougher measures on unpaid utility bills
Finance manager Jim Standell notes unpaid utility revenue in Alberta cities ranges 0.2 to 0.3 percent. Medicine Hat matches. Alderman Bernie Anderson urges stronger action, suggesting a "baseball bat" approach. The city may require deposits and harsher penalties for late payers while citing transient population and more low paid service jobs as factors.

Crown calls Ludwig greedy in oilpatch vandalism trial
Canadian Press reports on opening statements in the Wiebo Ludwig and Richard Boonstra case. Crown prosecutor George Coombe says the pair vandalized wells to pressure oil firms for higher property payoffs, tying Ludwig to extortion and amid extortion-linked actions. The Crown claims RCMP surveillance timed a later explosion and a suspect retrieved a bag of fake dynamite. The defense notes 18 charges and potential Alberta Energy Co. negotiations in 1998 that collapsed after talks stalled.
