Thanking you for inserting this letter. and expressing regret that I had to take this methocl so as to give the public both sides of the story, Yours faithfuav, J. T. WATT. Correspondence Editor West Van. News: Sir-- In asking you to give this letter space, I do so feeling that you &via be pleased to re- cord the other side nf the story regarding the sa)e of some 300 acres in Drio 1494. The Reeve states that nne of his objections Lc the way the mat ter was pushed through. This is entirely misleading. aml as an advocate of disposing of aa tax sale lands, I beg leave to take exception. On or about the 2nd of Sep- tember I received a phone mes- sage asking if I wou)d fin&i time to visit the Glenengles (:olf Course in eompnny with the Reeve. We accordingly met the representative of the purchasers of the Larsen property, an&I the matter of additionnl Inml was talked about, and, being on the spot, we could very well see what was wanted. I have al- ways understood that the Reeve and myself were at one with re- gard to the sale of tax sale in&mls, and never imagined what was to take place. However, I had made up my mind to ask 850.00 per acre for the additional piece of 300 acres or whatever they required,'and on the Wednesday following I submitted that price at the council meeting when the matter was regularly brought up for discussion. After a long de- bate the matter was deferred in order that two of the members should examine the property. The following IVednesday the matter again came up, and I again submitted a price of $50.00 per acre as being a fair one. Councillor Leylan&l submitted a price somewhat lower, and we agreed to the motion that was printed in your last week's issue. Reeve Morgan, apart from stat- ing that he wanted 8100.00 per acre, did not dissent, and the resolution carried with the one dissent, which is only a matter of frequent occurrence at the meetings, anyway. In any case. the matter was not pushed through at aH, and I was not one of the majority of the coun- cil who had agreed in private to any price. Neither did I ask the opinion of anyone in regard to the price. I am perfectly aware of the difference of opinion which exists in the council when it comes to bgrga)n)ng. I respect the opinions held, but realize that there must be a majority of one or the other, and am will- ing to be governed by the major- ity. The deal would not go through at 8100.00 per acre, an&i I would not like to see it fall through. My reasons for supporting the resolution are as follows: 1. Because it was the same price as I had always considered fair to the public and to the prospective purchaser. 2. The price is the same as that which the council had de- cided to ask for the other pro- posed golf course. (Counciaor Ray moved that resolution.) 3. The sale would have the immediate effect of turning a liability into an asset, as it would immediately start paying taxes 4. A go)f course within the municipality would have a splen- did effect on the whole North Shore. 5. The way to hasten good news about the Lions'ate Bridge is to encourage aH such enterprises in the municipality, as they aa have a hearing on the situation. 6. The lands in question are of such a mountainous nature for the most part as to make it practically of very little value except in portions, an&i I felt sure that the better way would be to dispose of the large block. 7. The value of land is only what you can get for it, and I think that the resolution carried by the majority of the council in open meeting carries into ef- Editor West Van. News: Heretofore T h e Vancouver Daily Province has shown its op- position to tho bridging of the Lions'cate by insidious sugges- tion quite evi&lont to nH readers "i&etween the lines" ln its editor- iaLru It has been a mean, &l&w spicable kind of opposition. veil- ed behind a screen of make-be- lieve support, but aH the more effective because of that atti- tude. Tonight the paper comes out in its true colors, still making a slight pretense of support, but with its opposition so predomi- nant as to leave no doubt of its wishes in the matter. No amount of dissimulation or of protesting their desire to see n bridge con- structed can deceive any thoughtful person into believing other than that The Province is resolutely opposed to the bridge scheme in any form. IVhy they should adopt this attitude one can only surmise. Opinions as to the power behind the scenes will be almost unani- mous, and yet it is hard to see why a certain corporation with unlimited influence over The Province should object to the bridge. Still there must be something to it or the paper would not come out so boldly and openly in direct opposition to the wishes of a majority of its read- ers. But why bother with conjec- ture? After aa the influences behind The Province's attitude are more potent with that paper than even public opinion. The only thing the people of the North Shore can do is to cease to support a newspaper which is pulling unnecessarily and with- out a vestige of reason or justi- fication against their best inter- ests. No doubt The Province can get along without our support, but we can get along even more con- veniently without The Province. Fortunately it is not the only newspaper published in Vancou- ver. Indeed, if I may be permit- ted to say so, we have a morning paper that is a credit to the country, a paper which is the equal of the best from a news- furnishing standpoint, and the superior of most in its editorial attitude on aa public questions.
