Transcona asks for report on insurance Transcona s insurance cover age was the subject of heated de Bate monday night at the trans Cona Council meeting. At last week s meeting Alder Man Vincent Hayes requested that an Independent Survey of the present insurance requirements of Transcona be made because he did t think coverage was Ade quate. He presented a letter to Council from an insurance firm which stated there were a num Ber of flaws in the present insurance. B. R. Wolfe appeared before Council this week As insurance broker for the City of Transcona he said to set the record right on Transcona s coverage. Or. Wolfe whose firm has handled the insurance for trans Cona for the past 17 years said he Felt he was More qualified to look after Transcona s inter ests As he had grown to know its requirements Over the years. Reviewed it he told Council he had started to review Transcona s insurance in april and was aware of duplicate automobile coverage Anc said this matter would Correl itself when the new insurance i arranged. On the question of the Library and Parks Board not being covered or. Wolfe explained tha these Are creatures of the corporation and Are covered. Or. Wolfe suggested that is present review of the require ments is finished Council and he hould go Over it very carefully and he would then draw up a Ender that Council could have various firms bid on. Aid. Hayes still wanted an in dependent Survey made. Alderman Paul Martin said it seemed to him that the whole procedure was in reverse. In his opinion a broker is to Tell Council f its insurance is adequate. Or. Wolfe said there was no need to bring in two or three out Side firms for he is the broker until his services Are no longer required. Aid. Hayes moved that or. Wolfe be assured that he will receive an Opportunity to present his Case in accordance with Aid. Hayes s motion last week that All interested insurance firms come Forward and set out a schedule for the City. The motion was car ried. Later in the meeting. Aid. Mar tin moved that the requirements for the City s insurance program be obtained by Council in Consul tation with insurance brokers Earnst Liddle and Wolfe and once arrived at that tenders be called. Aid. Hayes again said he wanted an Independent Survey As he was very impressed with fort Garry s comprehensive coverage. Aid. Martin s motion was carried with Aid. Hayes voting against it by Charles Thompson Louis Riel the popular Folk hero is facing Odds today Al most As insurmountable As when he was alive. Present Day efforts to have a Bridge named in his Honor seem destined to fail. There was a slim Chance that the firebrand could win when he led tie red River Metis and indians to capture fort Garry and later in the execution of Thomas Scott and the banishing of a governor in 1870 while seek ing better treatment for Resi dents in the area from sir John a. Macdonald. Riel succeeded in being elec Ted to the House of commons by the people although he had been chased out of the country when the government put a Price on his head. Again in 1885 after returning from exile in the United states he led his Metis and Indian peo ple against Canadian troops but was captured on May 11 near Batoche sask when they thought their property rights were being threatened. Hanged in Regina Reil was hanged for treason at Regina. But now there is a move Afoo behind fort Garry Council to have metro name the proposer St. Vital Bridge to Honor Riel support is widespread. T h move is going to elicit some controversy because Riel is Conder de to be a National hero by som people and a delirious mama by others. Metro councillors considered fort Garry s proposal during recent closed session of finance committee. When the Matte later comes out into the Ope it will Likely be accompanied b a nearly unanimous the idea is Likely to be rejected because at the Sam meeting metro considered a re commendation from a sub Corn Mittee which suggested again naming major projects after be sons living or dead. It recommended n i n Ater sewage Bridge Road and Ark projects for their Geog a Lic location or geographic Sig Many friends this Means the new Bridge Ould Likely be called the South Sborne Bridge to distinguish it n m the other near the legis nature or the St. Vit abridge. However the dead rebel Lead r has some very Lively friends n High places that include the Oman Catholic Church and to Al governments who May later support fort Garry. In the meantime veterans of airs minister Roger Veillet of t. Boniface one of Riel s direct descendants has applaud d the idea in a private and confidential letter to fort Garry in behalf of the family. The letter suggests that it would be better to keep t to e Amily s and his name out of. It it that he d like to thank who Ever it was who brought the matter to fort Garry Council s attention. The letter addressed to May or Ray Fennell said or. Veillet wanted to express the deep appreciation we feel of this action of your Council for the thoughtfulness of their suggestion that Riel be recognized in such a simple yet effective and sympathetic if metro Council adopts the new policy it would mean that the St. Boniface water Reservoir and pumping station would be called the metro East station because it will serve the area East of the red River. This policy would toss a Mon key wrench into the works of la society Hist Orique de Saint Boniface which has made suggestions for the. Naming of the Park which the Cathedral City will Likely build on top of the Reservoir. Epic trek the society has suggested us ing either one of three Lagimodiere Beauharnois or och Aga. Lagimodiere made an epic trek on snowshoes from the red River settlement to Montreal by Way of the great lakes to bring help for the Selkirk settlers who had been captured by the North West company men about 1820. Lord Selkirk who happened to be in Montreal re took the area after assembling a. Small army of Swiss soldiers who had fled Europe after the Napoleonic wars and who were later condemned by tire settlers As Wastrel. Lagimodiere was captured on his Way Back and tortured. He finally escaped and returned t the settlement where he lived for Many years. By Carl c. Potter Mitchell Copp eyes Contact lenses fitted Harold m. Black optometrist phone we 2-5108 open daily 9 .
