Power-line plan
Sir, — At the moment if I look out my front window across the oxidation ponds I get a wonderful view of the Port Hills; to my left I can see the dump; on my right, the sewage farm, we have put up with the dust blowing from the dump, we have put up with the smell from the sewage farm. But we cannot put up with the Electricity Department parking their great ugly power pylons smack in the middle of the only thing we have got left — our view. The ponds are supposed to be a wild life reserve. What about the birds getting tangled in all those wires. We’ve had all we can take. It is somebody else’s turn. — Yours, etc., (Mrs) G. THOMPSON. November 29, 1978.
