And so in memory we trace the years. )Vhy. it seems lrxe yesterday that little Biuy was born. and now behold him a full-grown man, with a slveetheart of his o&vn and dreams of a bungalo&v and married bliss, which realization may later bring true--or dissipate. How time has fiown! Aml if &ve happen to be in a serious mood and try to measure the twenty or forty years that may remain for us, what a paltry afFair this thing we call life appears to be; how little even the ablest of us can accomplish in its short span, and when it's over-- what? But although it seems but yesterday we ushered in young 1926 the twelve months just past have seen vast strides macle in the development and growth of )Vest Vancouver. Mea- sured in terms of progress the year has been a full twelve months of marked municipal achievement worthy of a much longer period. Few communities in any part of the world can boast of equal accomplishment. Much of the dense forest of last year has been transformed into beautiful lawns and gardens, surrounding attractive bungalows, where new resi- &ients who have been attracted to this most captivating of townsites enjoy advantages )vhich others of us have been privileged to possess for longer periods; miles of streets, formerly rough and, at times impassible, have been nlade into modern, paved highways; and the district generally has taken on quite a metropolitan appearance. Undoubtedly the passing year's most notable event affect- ing the interests of )Vest Vancouver has been the proposal to bridge the Lions'ate. The year's close finds this question in a rather unsettled but not altogether unpromising state. We believe there is good reason to expect a favorable report from the enquiry committee and that there is every justifica- tion for anticipating a start on construction of the bridge in the early months of 1927. Should these hopes be realized, then the visions of the most optimistic of us are likely to fall far short of the actuali- ties of the progress of the coming year. But, whatever hap- pens, )Vest Vancouver can meet the future with high hopes. Our super-excellence as a residential centre is recognized and the progress of 1926, phenomenal though it has been, is bound to be eclipsed by each succeeding year for many years to come. AU of which leads to thoughts of our future requirements. We have emerged from village to city proportions so quickly that we do not seem to have grasped our need of city equip- ment, For one thing, our municipal council should have at least six instead of four members. Then the municipal staff needs augmenting. A building inspector, for instance, is an absolute necessity. We have building by-laws which are very good in their way, but except as to plumbing and wiring, no attempt is made to enforce them, nor is it possible for the present staff to do so. The large number of buildings now tion for anticipating a start on constructionu of th bridge in tional help.

Auto License Ofiice Asked for North Shore Establishment of a depot in North Vancouver, for distribut tion of automobile licenses, has been requested of provincial police by the three North Shore councils. Money Bylaws Before Electors Bylaws totalling $ 125,000 will be voted upon by the ratepaycrs in January. There are three measures- for 065,000, 360,000 and Slo,- 000. The first Is for hard sur- facing of roads throughout the municipality. The measure for 650,00 is for the construction of a new high school at Seventeenth and Inglewood streets, and the third is for an addition to the Municipal Hall. The new high school will ac- commodate pupils now attending the high school classes in the Pauline Johnson School, and an addition to the Muniucipal Hau is considered an urgent neces- sity owing to the great amount of work being carried out in the municipality at present. Certain streets in almost every section of the municipal- ity will be hard surfaced if the bylaw for 365,000 receives the necessary majority.
