local users of the dry Dock will still make up Only 30 per cent of its operating under the new pricing dry Docking fees will increase to from and wintering fees will Rise to from Holtmann said while the increase will not sit Well with All the smaller it is a lot better than the original increase suggested in a 100percent increase is a lot easier to Swallow than a cent he i think its not totally out of line but if the prices continue to escalate until they get their full operating costs then there could be some bigger the new Price should enable operators to continue using the dry Dock and stay in Holtmann noted the government has said it will study the effects of the new he said most local Small boat operators will not Likely Winter their boats at the if no one Winters their vessels then the government sure int going to get All the Money it Hopes to Selkirk mayor Bud Oliver said Small boat operators he had talked with said they could not afford any increase in dry Dock user he said he will have to talk with them before deciding if the town should Appeal the rates to the Feder Al the impression i got when talk ing to the Guys was that they afford any increase at All and that a jump would end up being tacked on to their operating costs and increase everything a the new fees Are part of a plan to make the Dock while the Dock will Cost the Federal Public works department to operate this the new rates mean Only will be recovered from last the Dock lost More than generating revenues of 800 from user a 1985 government transport policy called for the dry Dock to be made to
