We are too prone to complain about wrongdoing an&I to over- look the sentiment of giving sat- isfaction for doing right. I mean that we have not apprl~ ciated the wonderful schedule time aml service which lve get from our ferry management an&i crews. I have been in several countries lvhere ferries were used, but none ever beat this one in keeping to schedule. From the manager, pilot, engineers and crews an&I then on to the bus boys, we can one and all set our watches by them, an&I I know of those who do. I will give hearty thanks to all con- cerned, from all concerned, an&i conclude by believing they will keep up the good work, for it is one of the outstanding features of our municipality. Yours sincerely M. BULKLEY. THE LIONS'ATE BRIDGE This week the private bills committee in Victoria has been considering bills )aids before them by the two construction companies who wish to build the Lions'ate bridge. Each company has presented a bill asking permission of the Pro- vincial Government to build the bridge, and containing the conditions under which it is prepared to undertake the work. These conditions were outlined in our last issue. For some time it has been rumored that both companies would unite to do the work of construction, but from reports received of the proceedings it would appear that this does not meet with the approva I of the par)iamentat~ committee, and that either one or the other of the companies must construct the bridge. The discussion drelv a new and interesting announcement from Mr. Campbell, representing the First Narrows Bridge Company. Faced with the question of meeting prospective in- crease in traffic, he stated his company would be willing to construct another span to be built alongside the one proposed, such span to be not less than the dimensions of the first, if the traffic warranted it. Agreement seems to have been reached on most points, and the bill of the Lions'ate Bridge Company is reported to have received the formal approval of the committee as to its terms. Tive great difficulty, however, and one that yet re- mains to be solved, is the question as to whether the approval of the municipalities should be by a resolution of the municipal council or by submission to the people. It has been indicated that the matter must be submitted in the form of a bylaw to the people of every municipality concerned. IVhile THE NEWS is of the opinion that there would be no difficulty in passing such a bylaw in each municipality, it would appear to be an altogether uncalled for proceeding and one brought forward by the opponents of the bridge in the hope of at least delaying the project. On more than one occasion the contracting firms have shown signs of growing restive under the continual delays with which they have been confronted in their efforts to get the matter definitely settled. Both are international concerns, and consequently are not disposed to waste an undue amount of time in trying to imluce t?&e authorities to allow them to get started, when theycould b e occupied in getting other contracts where such delays &lo not occur. It is stated that the construction of the bridge is not going to be at the public cost, and therefore all that the government and municipal authorities are concerned with is that the bridge is properly constructed and &loss not interfere with navigation. Those who will use the bridge and pay the tolls will do so from choice only. The Second Narrows hri&lge, the North Vancouver ferries and our own municipal ferries will still be available and will all get their share of the traffic. If the new bridge is not a success, the municipalities will not necessarily have to take it over when the term of the bonds issued for its construction expires. That will be up to the bridge company. If it is a success, they will only be too gla&l to do so. Under such circumstances plebiscites and bylaws are en- tirely beside the question and would appear to have about ss much to do with the issues as that other red herring which has so frequently been drawn across the trail--the Burrsr&l Street bridge.
