(Continued from Page 1.) navigating within a channel of 800 feet at the most, and the channel entrance at the port of Liverpool, which is recognized as one of the busiest ports in the world, is about the same width, and if &ve have 1,200 or 1,400 foot span, to provide for any dredging or &videning in the future, this choul&l be suff- icien to prove that the facilities provided for here are greater than many other important seaports. The fear of a highway spoiling the beauty of Stanley Park is not logical. According to their remarks one would think there were no autos using Stanley Park. Automobile trafiic, ho&vever, is very heavy, especially during holidays nnd Sun- days, and this will continue to increase &vhether there be 3 bridge or not. When the bridge is built it will be a great outlet to relieve Stanley Park from auto congestion and it will a&hi greatly to its charm and beauty. The bridge will be the big- gest kind of tourist attraction, adding prestige to the province and not alone to )Vest Vancouver, as &vas suggested by some of the members, who evidently by their remarks fear that &&Vest Vancouver real estate will increase in value and interfere with their present holdings on the south pi&le of the Inlet. I also think it is a poor policy to hinder a project of this kind and deprive the workers of this city of a payroll of at least $3,000,000, assuming that the bridge will be built for about $5,000,000 and no outlay of public funds. If the type of bridge suggested by the committee op not approved by the members of the Vancouver Board of Trade, let them suggest something to improve it, but not bitterly condemn it. Vancouver, November 26th. K. A. RAY. Building Permits Nearly Four Timas Greater Than Last November The buil&ling permits for the District of )Vest Vancouver for the eleven months ending November 30th total $392,000, as against $ 176,000 for the cor- responding per(od last year, an increase of 111 per cent. The figures for the month of &Vovem- ber, 1926, are $25,750, as against $7,800 for &Vovember last year, almost four times the amount. The permits for last month in- clude ten houses of a value of $24.500 and three garages $450. These figures are eloquent of the remarkable growth taking place in West Vancouver. November is usually n shck month in the building trade, but West Vancouver is one district where there has been no lull in the construction of new build- ings.

Twa d&mra fram Garage THE )VEST VAN NEWS Capt. Batchelor For Bridge Captain lb&bert A. Bncheh&r, Vancouver pilot since 1910 nnd n mariner of 60 years'xperi- ence. dealt the opponents of the bridge a hcavy blow at thp in- quiry yesterday. In the face of the storm of opposition to the proposed bridge which has been in evidence from shipping men, harbor authorities and other pilots since the enquiry opened Tuesday, Captain Bachelor gave expert testimony that the bridge &vould not be detrimental tn the shipping business of the port. ()capite the niost severe ques- tioning by F. G. T. Lucas, coun- sel for the Merchants'xchange, Captain Bnchelor stuck to his statement. He dec(a&ad that if 1,300 feet of clear. well defined channel were provided nt the harbor entrance, 200 feet more than under existing conditions, absolutely no damage would be done to the port'0 shipping. He &vent so far as to say that n channel of 1,300 feet wi&lih an&I sufficient depth would care for 150 times the traflic o(fering today. He declared it was the ten- dency today for ships to have lower masts. The section be- yond what he termed the work- ing mast was nothing more than an ornament, which he com- pared to a man's hat or a &voman's bobbed hair. "Even empresses have their hair bobbed these davs," he said, Captain Bachelor confirmed evidence given previously by Captain G. W. Robart, another Vancouver pilot, to the effect that by cutting oif the "spit" at the mouth of the Capilano, west of the proposed bridge, would eliminate one of the greatest dangers to navigation in the Narrows.
