The Pas Herald reports a request for variance on a 24 unit apartment block awaits Town Planning approval. A discussion noted Town Planning would meet that week, with a letter from R N Matthews stating C F I will file further details.
A developer seeks a four and a half month extension from August 15 to complete the apartment project contingent on a variance approval. The council deferred action until the variance is decided and a written legal report is provided. Starting the project by August dates is sufficient, not completion.
The discussion highlights salaries as the largest budget factor and argues that local school boards struggle to compete. It notes the South's policy reduces costs via provincial funding, creating a clear funding edge, and explains how management can only do so much against this disparity.
The text argues that schools rely on extras to keep education interesting and to cover salary and utility costs. Until the province admits regional disparities and acts, local taxpayers must partially fund the shortfall to attract good teachers and provide quality education.
The Pas town and Local Government District of Consel outline a 1969 balanced assessment totaling 6.71 million for the town and 1.62 million for the district. An $139,592 tax on farm and residential property plus $96,643 on other property funds the district, with grants contributing most of the needed funds and a higher provincial grant than last year.
Al Rossington becomes Vice-President while Cliff Linnen and Jack Walker stay as Secretary and Treasurer. Ken Deighton remains Membership Chairman with several new members joining. The group reported an estimated $4,000 profit to cover the outstanding balance for new rocks and discussed the curling rink, plus the April 26 Wind-up Banquet and Dance.
The River sawmill plan, tied to the Churchill operation, seeks heavy industrial zoning and a $6–7 million facility employing about 200 workers. Officials discuss provincial and federal enforcement limits on noise and pollution, with construction hoped to start by May.
The Pas Town Council approved an agreement to advance plans for a civic program aimed at fostering good citizenship in the community. The decision clears the way for subsequent processing and implementation steps.
