     SUBJECT:         Gastown Lighting


              At the Standing Committee on City Services and Budgets meeting on April 24, 1997, the Committee heard
     representations from four speakers, all of whom spoke in favour of retaining the incandescent lighting for Gastown. 
     Several requested time to find alternate funding solutions.

              Due to time constraints, the Committee agreed to defer decision on this item to a future meeting.

              Accordingly, the attached Administrative Report dated March 12, 1997*, is resubmitted for Council                                                                                                               s
     consideration.
