binder volumes of about a thousand pages each.

The price is $2,500 but Finance Minister the Hon. David Saul was quick to tell the House of Assembly that it includes delivery, two spare binders to allow for additional laws and amendments, little index cards to stick on the spines of the folders, and all updates to the end of this year.

Orders can be placed on the ground floor of the Government Administration Building.

The revised laws are the first complete set to be produced and printed in Bermuda, Dr. Saul said. They are easier to read than the old bound editions, more compact, and easier to update.

DISPLAY THOSE TCD STICKERS POL Display those TCD stickers Police are warning car owners that there is a fine for not properly displaying licence stickers.

Police spokeswoman Sgt. Andrea Browne said more than 20 drivers were stopped last Friday morning for not displaying the stickers issued by the Transport Control Department.

Most of the drivers, she said, had the sticker in their glove compartments.

"There is a $25 fine for not having the licence properly affixed to the car windshield,'' Sgt. Browne said. "Drivers will be ticketed if this continues.'' She said the law is for the benefit of car owners who could have their licence stickers stolen.

S. ARMY CHANGES MIND ABOUT SITE CHU S. Army changes mind about site Salvation Army chiefs are likely to abandon a plan to build a camp at a West End site after running into development problems.

About six years ago they bought a lodge building on West Side Road, Sandys, with the hope of setting up an Army camp. But now they are planning to sell it.

"We have had some difficulty with development and the zoning of the property for the purposes of the camp,'' Major Elmer Pavey said. The Army had therefore applied to the Development Applications Board to convert the derelict building to a three-bedroom home, with the idea of making the property more valuable.

"We're just wanting to get better options on that property. If we did get approval we would possibly sell it in order to develop somewhere else.

"We're not planning to build ourselves or make the building into a hostel.'' DRINK-DRIVER IS FINED AND BANNED CTS Drink-driver is fined and bannned A 35-year-old Smith's resident caught driving while intoxicated was fined $400 in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Daniel MacDonald, of McGall's Bay Road, admitted driving under the influence of alcohol on May 28.

Insp. Peter Duffy, prosecuting, said officers stopped MacDonald because his crash helmet was untied. They noticed his breath smelled of intoxicants, his speech was slurred and he was unsteady on his feet.

An alco-analyser test revealed he had 189 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood in his system.

In addition to the fine, Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis disqualified MacDonald from all vehicles for one year.

CANNABIS COST MAN $100 CTS Cannabis cost man $100 A 29-year-old who led Police on a chase across Court Street to escape being caught with cannabis was fined $100 in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Ashley Dowling, of Cedar Heights, Warwick, pleaded guilty to possessing the 0.21 grams of cannabis.

Insp. Peter Duffy, prosecuting, said officers spotted Dowling at 9.47 p.m. on February 7 near a Court Street nightclub.

When he saw the officers, he ran across a waste ground adjacent to the club.

Officers gave chase and found him hidden on the side of a house near the waste ground.

Insp. Duffy said a brown paper twist containing plant material was found in Dowling's right pocket.

When examined by the Government analyst, the material was found to be cannabis.
