OOPs	1^st Nations designs
	Were on 1938 building

Note Federal Building (now City Hall) built in 1938

On this link I have the Koona totem poles coming to PR in 1935 --- meant to be a tourist attraction

(see my previous for--)

My Mistake

Bruce Wishart forwarded me an enlarged image from City Archives that clearly shows the native reliefs were present in 1938 – those original reliefs were painted by Jeffreys (father & daughter) when city redecorated building in 1964

‘They are so ‘bad’ (unlike other Tsimshian or NW Coastal 1^st Nations art work) that glad to clear Jeffrey’s reputation

	Myles Moreau had a good line
	Seems the Federal candidate pictured left was in local THs going around hand shaking etc --- When reached Myles table he quipped something like ‘that photo doesn’t do you justice’ or some such. He was not referring to the campaign poster image at left --- I was told red faced candidate soon left THs And speaking of Myles he is off to Victoria Thursday for an operation.

	Buy Out???
	Home Hardware – many stores across BC and Canada is said to be in process of buying out Philpott Evitt ---- papers not signed yet I hear --- but present store will be closed and a larger Home Hardware to take place --- the exiting HH will presumably have to fend for itself

September 30^th – noon	Sunny Weather means roof work
	‘We’ve done more roofs in September than all of July quipped the foreman – he says that with the stuff below put on don’t need to have shingles --- if rain catches them before finished And below – now that is the way to paint ones windows

	We see
	City took advantage of the sunny dry weather to paint traffic white lines for pedestrian crossing --- I took photo about dinner time – but someone did come back and remove the red cones before dark

	And lots of hunters around
	Caribou antlers here --- but lots of off terrain vehicles around --- as this one

City Hal and FOI requests

I asked about a month ago to see some documents dealing with a street patio which I suspect did not meet the guidelines of time --- plus I was hoping to see how much ‘rent’ taxpayers got for allowing it on city property --- today I was told more consultations were needed and it would be another 10 days at least as key personnel out of town --- (the very person I had originally given the FOI request to) Message delivered by L Miller who is now leaving PR and a woman (not Tanalee) will be taking the position until later in year – when Miller may (or may not) return --- but note he is a designated Municipal election official
