July 14, 1926. The Editor, West Vsn News: Dear Sire--I sm sending you here- with 8 copy of the letter I gave to the Reeve snd Councii regarding my stand on the Town Plxnmng Bylaw. rbis communication shows my objdd- tionx fsiriy clearly. I claim that if West Vxncduver is ,. to meke the progress expected as an independent municipality then it is the duty of the Council to encourage sxd assist in the development of buxi- ness property snd business activities. Yours truly, K. A. RAY. Successful Lawn Social I The lawn and home of Mr. Bnd Mrs. F. Xl Hodgson, at the foot of Twenty-third Street, proved an ideal setting for the rasp- berry social held last Thursday night under the auspices of St. Stephen's Choir, and as the re- sult of the large attendance a satisfactory sum was realized toward the piano fund. The verandah and lawn were prettily decorated with colored lights and lanterns and flags and the , verandah was utilized as a stage for the musical numbers, which included vocal solos, a violin duet and two well rendered glees by the choir, and items by Miss Beatrice Hodgson and Mas- ter Rex Rhodes. Several of Mrs. Hodgson's adult pupils from North Vancouver very 'indly came over to take part l in the program and Mrs. Hodg- son, herself, contributed a much appreciated concluding number, which was heartily encored. To the Reeve snd Council: I beg to object to the Town Plan- ning Bylaw for the following reasons: First--It eliminates sii industry from the business xone, when there is need for clean cut minor industries. if such srd allowed under the present bylaw, they are restricted to sell their products in the store window only. This is contrary to the progress of any buxinddx or of any community. I xm agreeable to bxr any industry n bleb creetex smoke nuisance, fitd Bxxardx, unsightly buildings or dix- tutbsncdx in the said zone. This is easily coped with by inserting 8 clause ni the bylaw saying that sny industry deemed to be 8 nuixxncd by the Coun- cil shall not be allowed in Zone 2. The rextriction of Bot allowing 8 man to build 8 dwelling in this xone, if he hsx xuiricicnt land space, is un- just xnd Bot business wisdom, while he is siiov ed to live in quarters at- tschnd to the store. Second--I object to the elimination of double family bou 08 in the muni- cipsbty, believing that xueb houses will not be 8 detriment to the com- munity, if the building inspector be instructed not to pxxx the plans unless properly designed. Tblrd--The 'establishment of a building line 20 feet from the property i.ne w.thout the following amend- ment: "That dud Tpasrd be given to the slresdy established line. For instance, Brown, Stewart snd Jsckxon bevd al- ready built their homes in certain blocks and they are 35 feet more or less from the property line. The new building should be governed sccotd- n giy. Fourth--The sir Spxcd of 24 fete between two buildings, where mch happen to own Sufficient land to per- mit same, is far too much for an xree comprixina 12,000 square feet, where two buildings could be allowed 8 mini- mum of 10 feet, which would be xuf- fieidnt. Fifth--That the bylaw should be amended to read "by 8 majority vote of the Councir'nstead of four-fifths majority, because the changes in 8 Towins municipality iikx ours come West Van Win'ug-of-War Cup At the L. O. L. sports at New Westminster on Saturday after- noon the team of the local lodge won the tug-of-war and chal- lenge cups, defeating the North Vancouver team, who have beaten all-comers for four years. The winning team was composed of Mr. D. McMTavish, captain; Mr. W. Davidson, Mr. J. Walls, Mr. W. Carley, Mr. Eugene Tite, Mr. James Ferguson and Mr. James Miles. At the dance in the evening, Mr. Eugene Tite was presented with a four-piece silver tea ser'v- ice, he having held the winning number among the tickets sold for the dance. Mr. Christie of the city is shortly opening a baked goods store in Dundarave and will specialize in Scottish pastry. Police Court News Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hanna of Vancouver are now occupying their summer home at West Vancouver. Their daughter, Miss Leila Hanna of Toronto University, is spending a vaca- tion with them. Mr. E. P. Coe, who is trom- bone soloist in the Parks'and, will be playing next week in the Capitol orchestra. At the West Vancouver Police Court three cases were tried for infractions of the Motor Act. F. A. Healey, Vancouver, was fined 55, as were also A. E. Ver- non of North Vancouver and Richard Lee of Vancouver. Four other cases under the same act will come up for hearing at the next sitting of the court. very rapidly xnd the first method would be more practical to deal with the Situation Snd for adopting the lncommendxtionx mxhp by the Town Planning Commission from time to time. Sixth--I fail to 800 justice in pfe- i entina owners altering, repairing snd maintaining certain types of buildings already existing in this municipality which are not to the $0- quircments of this bylaw. A minimum xum of expenditure should always be piiowed on this particular building pccprding to itx value. This pxttieu- ist clause in the bylaw refers td every xone in the municipxnty. Yours very truly, K. A. RAY. Burglars in Drug Store i'm'f The Home on Today I.,mj CANADIAN homes use more elec-~ tficity than the homes of any other country. Electric service brings comfort, con- venience, safely, labor-saving, increased leisure and added beauty to the Can- adian home in a measure undreamed of by the women of older countries.

PHOTOS THAT PLEASE Some time during Monday night the Dundarave Pharmacy was broken into. The thieves efi'ected their entrance through a small window on the east side of the store, and stole a quantity of cigarettes and candy and a small sum in cash. The matter is in the hands of the police, who are reported to be in possession of an important clue. No longer looked upon as B luxury, electric service is being made to per- form those household tasks formerly done by back-breaking toil.
