FRASER POLLUTION
In a recent development, the Association drew Council's attention to new sewage treatment methods evolved in Europe which could provide advanced treatment facilities at much lower cost

• Demonstration of improved methods and products to local producers and processors.
• Formation of marketing cooperatives to introduce new products and provide marketing channels for small Alaskan processors.
• Provision of extension service activities in Alaska to give information on modern fishing, processing and marketing methods.
• Ensuring that fishery resources receive full consideration in multiple-use development and management of the coastal area.

than figures quoted repeatedly by members of Council.
The Canadian representative for one such process, Tamco Engineering Ltd., reportedly is negotiating now for construction of a treatment plant at Saanich.
Revised estimates of advanced secondary treatment plant costs, applicable to Richmond's growing population needs, vary between $850,000 and $1,250,000, Association president Tom Gooderham told Council this week.
Both Gooderham and UFAWU organizer Tom Parkin, an executive member of the Association, pointed out that these estimates compare with a figure of $5 million quoted by Alderman Ray Parsons for primary treatment only.
Parkin asked Council members whether they would be prepared to earmark an amount based on the Tamco company's estimate. He was told that this is a matter for Council to decide and aldermen "will not be stampeded by pressure groups." MOTIVES QUERIED
Council's adamant attitude inevitably has given to rise to considerable speculation as to its motives in pressing ahead with a scheme strongly opposed by local residents.
"As to the remark about 'pressure groups', it should be remembered that more than 10 per-
cent of eligible voters signed the Association's petition within a matter of days," Parkin pointed out, "while only five percent were required to sign in order to block passage of the bylaw.
"Council as a whole apparently feels that citizens have no right to take up its time with matters of concern to the community."
Parkin said it was "abundantly clear" that Council set out to find a technical flaw in the petition to justify throwing it out.
"But it's equally clear," he said "that Richmond residents signing the petition did so in all sincerity because of their opposition to pollution of the environment in which they live, and the Anti-Pollution Association will continue its work until Council is forced to act on provision of an adequate treatment plant."
Gooderham told Council the Association is not concerned only with the Richmond situation and aims to carry the fight against pollution into other lower Fraser River municipalities.
The attitude of a majority of aldermen may have been summed up most accurately by Association member Mrs. Bruce Rowden who reportedly accused Council at Monday night's meeting of forcing through its bylaw at any cost. "You don't give a damn what the people (of Richmond) think," she said.
DEVELOPMENT OF SPAWNING CHANNELS HELPS MAINTAIN SALMON RUNS. On both coasts the Federal Department of Fisheries is vitally concerned with the maintenance of salmon stocks. One of the most important activities is the construction and supervision of spawning channels. In addition, the Department is engaged in construction of "fishways" and the clearing of obstructions to allow salmon access to headwater spawning grounds. Investigation and correction of pollution problems is also a continuing activity.
