Board to study bicycle pathway The park board is investigating a Stanley Park bicycle path proposal which would involve dividing part of the sea wall with a curb to create pedestrian and cycle lanes. The board Monday asked its staff to prepare a cost estimate for the proposed route, worked out in committee as a means of curbing illegal bike riding on the sea wall walk. The route would run from the Georgia Street entrance along the eastern sea a wall around Brockton Point, past Lumberman's Arch to a point near Lions Gate Bridge, where it would join Pipeline Road and cut back through the park to Georgia. Commissioner Andy Livingstone said it is feasible to divide the eastern portions of the sea wall into a 12-foot lane for pedestrians and a six-foot lane for bikes. He said such lanes are apparently common in Europe, although it is not feasible to create the necessary width for lanes on the western sea wall in Stanley Park because of the terrain and width of the walk.

In other business, the board voted to try to set up a meeting July 23 with Department of Transport officials, in town that day, to discuss the extra 38 acres the board wants to add to Jericho park.

Commissioner Joe Malkin said any profits made 1 in either area are needed for replacing old equipment and capital improvements. The board has asked council to pay extra overtime costs amounting to $4,750 at the conservatory and $50,296 at the other revenue. operations.

The board also voted Monday to meet with fire chief Armand Konig after receiving a solicitor's report which said fires built in fire rings the board approved for beaches would be illegal under park and city bylaws. 00 Candy Take in these extra tasty candy specials Crunchie Peanut Brittle Sale Price lb.

and Mrs. Henry Wade of Mesa, said one advantage of the evening run, which leaves Seattle at 6:05 p.m. is that it allows a connection from the Amtrak system as far south as San Diego. "We're vacationing, just travelling from place to place, and we've come all the way up the coast," Wade said. "This mean a lot to both Seattle and Vancouver.

Mayor doesn't like cut in speed limit Motorists on Canada Way, Burnaby, will be easy bait for traffic police while the municipality experiments with speed limits, Mayor Robert Prittie admitted at Monday's council meeting.

Mrs. Hyams rites held Seattle- Vancouver train runs again By PAUL KNOX When the Burlington Northern railroad ended its Vancouver-Seattle passenger service last year, no one seemed to care. But the first passengers who run stepped Monday off the newly enthusiastic as anyone could be about the return of the passenger rail link "We couldn't be happier," said Seattle resident Mrs. Aubrey Johnson.

She was referring to a decision to the service under the U.S. government's Amtrak scheme for maintaining passenger trains. An appropriation from the U.S. Congress this spring enabled Amtrak to re-institute several runs which were discontinued last year. Railroads which applied for government subsidies under Amtrak were allowed to drop some runs, Burlington Northern's International was one of them.

Renamed the Pacific International, it made its first run Monday night, arriving 45 minutes late at 10:50 p.m. after a customs holdup at the border. Mrs. Johnson's husband said he and his wife came to Vancouver frequently until the BN service was discontinued April 30, 1971. "We're just up here for a couple of days, but it's sure a lovely trip with lots of seenery," he said.

Passengers filled the single coach car to two thirds capacity for the train also included a coach mark- Funeral service for Mrs. Lilian Hyams, a hospital volunteer worker in Vancouver for more than 35 years, was held Monday in Christ Church Cathedral.

Chairman Ben Metcalfe said Monday no reply has been received to a telegram sent Sunday to Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. He said the nature of the foundation's action will depend on government response to the matter of a Canadian vessel "having been put in this position by a foreign vessel." Greenpeace III skipper David McTaggart, of Vancouver, reported the vessel was rammed by a French minesweeper in the French nuclear test area near Mururoa Atoll, in the Pacific, where it sailed to protest the tests.

The French government version is that the collision was accidental. At full speed, a thoroughbred horse can go as fast as 40 miles an hour carrying 125 pounds or more on his back. Highways Minister Wesley Black had earlier refused to lower the limit, but after further requests by Burnaby council changed his mind. Prittie said that going downhill in that stretch, motorists have to have their brakes on constantly to maintain the 40 limit, and it was going to be hard to keep to the new limit. "Personally, 1.

think it is a mistake," he said. Ald. Hugh Ladner agreed. "Thirty might be a mistake," he said. "We might come out of this with egg on our faces." Ald.

W. A. Blair said drivers going up the hill at speeds above the limit were causing the problem. Council agreed it was obliged at least to try the new limit.
