Slowly but methodically our elected representatives in wa, or the bureaucrats who work for them, are butchering our essential services. I myself have complained about our postal system in the past and I agree it needs some changes. But the present path down which the government is leading us will ultimately result in the demise of the postal sys~ tem. It its place will be hund-- reds or thousands of independant handlers all scrambling to make a Otta- buck off of the mail; all with theix own schedules and methods of operation. If you think ser- vices are bad now, just wait’ for years and remember when I predicted chaos for our new mail system. Now "they" -. our government officials - are about to dismantle the railway system, a system that was instrumental in elected forging this country into one land and is still an essential service... . Maybe I've being naive, but I still * believe that there are some services we need in this country that may never pay their own way, and that's where our taxes should go. I consider both the mail system and the railway system to be in this I believe our country will be dependant on them for a long time to come. To turn portions of either system over to a hodge- podge of independant contractors, most of whom have other primary interests is to ask for disaster and chaos. construction of crete bridge, Upon completion of the new bridge catagory. We all rely on these systems and, I think it's about time we all wake up in Canada and take charge of our own destiny. I think its about time we, as citizens, tell our government leaders what we want them to do, not just with our mail and our’ railways, but with our whole gov- ernmental system. After all, that's why we send them to Otta- wa. Then again, maybe I'm being selfish and sentimental because when I leave here, I would still like to be able to go someplace and watch a train go by, at least once ina while. 3 Province of — British Columbia A $1,198,210 contract has been awarded -to San-Berry Con- tracting Ltd., of Terrace, for construction of the Blue River Bridge, Transportation and High- wayS Minister Neil Vant, and Minister of State for North Coast Terry Huberts, announced recent- ly.
