The city works foreman was walking up Nicola Avenue with blueprints under his arm on Monday. The city is starting a needed upgrade of the infrastructure in the Nicola Avenue. The road is highway 8 or 97C and a funding arrangement was made with the provincial highways branch to pay for the upgrade. local residents will be affected by signage and construction as well as the Old Court House Gallery and the Love to Dance studio.
Merritt is progressive in water and discharge pipe upgrades and summer rarely goes with out a project.

The city ran and add to hire CUPE workers last week in on of the local weekly’s they were to fix potholes and keep up these things . Most all the fire hydrants were gone through and painted up starting after a local hotel burned down. The fire was reported as arson. In the middle of a labor dispute and some one had opened  a number of these about town diminishing the pressure to fight the fire.

The tag says no not connect without permit;2000 dollar fine, we think it’s not intended for arsonists but the responsible public.

The crime is yet unsolved.
