Board of Trade The Board of Trade held their regular monthly meeting last Monday evening in the Canadian Legion rooms, ferry building. The proposed constitution of the Associated Boards of Trade of Greater Vancouver and New Westminster was read and adopt- ed, and the appointment of Col- onel Savory and Hugh May as delegates to the association con- firmed. The Secretary was instructed to write the municipal council, advising them that the Board was in favor of the extension of gas mains to West Vancouver, if, the present movement is suc- cessful to have gas for domestic pu&~oses piped to North Van- couver. In this connection it was decided to request the Board of Trade in North Vancouver to inform our board on all ques- tions affecting the interests of West Vancouver instead of first taking up suvh questions with the municipal council, as had been done when inviting the lat- ter to a conference over the ques- tion of gas. A motion was passed by the meeting that the president and secretary prepare a petition to be signed by West Vancouver residents and then submitted to Ottawa stating with reasons the necessity for the construction of a bridge over the Lions'ate. Messrs. W. McQuaker, John Lawson, A. W. Lunn and Hugh May were appointed a committee to make the necessary arrange- ments for a monster children' picnic to be given by the board at Horseshoe Bay next Thurs- day. SURVEY OF BABY MOUNTAIN NOW COMPLETED The survey of Baby Mountain under the Town Planing Com- mission was completed last Tuesday, and the result has proved exceptionally satisfac- tory to the officials. The con- tour and survey make every por- tion of Baby Mountain, which lies just north of Marine Drive facing the Lions'ate entrance, accessible in every part ht easy grades, when it was previously thought that much of the moun- tain was practically useless for pu&poses of residence. The cost of this work, approximately $800, is one of the best invest- ments the municipality has yet made, and, when the whole of the municipality has been con- toured and surveyed, accurate records will be availablo which will be of tremendous assistance to the engineers and municipal officials. NET STYLE HOUSE AT CYPRESS PARK Open for Public Inspection. Next Monday the new Castil- lian stucco hacienda, built by J. H. Dawson on Marine Drive at Cypress Park under the direction of Bell-Irving, Creery & Co., Ltd. and furnished throughout by the Hudson's Bay Co., will be open to the public for inspection. This is the first residence of its kind in Greater Vancouver, and pre- sents a particularly distinctive appearance, as will be seen from the above photo. The feature which will probably attract the most attention is the height and number of the large lattice win- dows, which make all the rooms unusually light. The front en- trance located in the centre, opens on to a square hall, from which access is obtained to the five rooms of the building, these being a large sitting room and dining recess on the west side of the house, kitchen and break- fast nook at the back, and two bed rooms with bathroom be- tween on the east. In addition to the lattice windows the sit- ting room is provided with two sets of French windows leading on to the front and side veran- dahs as well as an open fireplace. Folding glass doors separate the dining recess from the sitting room. It is known as a Red Seal house, having electrical conveni- ences installed throughout. This includes electric stove and frig- idaire, and in the full cement basement downstairs are laun- dry tubs and an electric washer. The floors throughout are of hardwood except in the bedrooms and kitchen, where edge grain fir has been used. A central hot air heater with large radiator in the hall provides the necessary heating. The house sits well back on a lot having a frontage on the Drive of 120 feet by a depth of 180 feet and is bounded on the west by Cypress Creek. It is an unusual house, and is well worth a visit by anyone interested in construction work, or in modern homes. It will be open for public inspection from and including next Monday.

The idea of organizing a club as a memorial to the work of the committee, was put for- ward by Councillor Leyland. Tenders for supplying equip- ment for the Children's Play- ground will be opened tonight at the meeting of the committee. This is only for a part of the equipment necessary for the grounds. Financial assistance is still needed to complete the furn- ishings. Reeve Vinson this week don- ated $25 towards the fund and if a few more local men would fol- low the reeve's example and con- tribute a few dollars towards this work they would be well re- paid by the joy and happiness given the youngsters. Donations may be sent to Councillor Ray or any member of the committee. Hollyburn Ridge to be Developed elude&i within t&vo weeks, ac- cording to the agents. The scheme includes erection of a mountain hotel, facilities for winter sports, and the build- ing of an easily graded road&ray to the summit. IVhile details of the project have not been com- pleted it is expected that sev- eral hundred thousand dollars &vill be spent in development. One of the objectives of the syndicate is to keep the prices moderate so that the new resort will be available to the masses. Hotel and Road to Be Built.

Dear Mr. Editor: The charm of our environment is making a continuous appeal to all who seek to live in close prox- imity to the city and yet away from the roar of its traffic and the soot-laden air of its indus- tries. It is indeed encouraging to see the many fine homes that have been made here in recent years, and we are all enthusias- tic boosters for IVest Vancouver. We are privileged to enjoy many natural advantages in scenery, wooded hillside, a south- ern slope, pure air and atmo- sphere, a wonderfulnatural park on Hollyburn Ridge, many other fine park-sites together with boating, bathing, and fishing fa- cilities. As a result of these great advantages it naturally fol- lows that our population is in- creasing rapidly and thereby bringing fresh problems to our City Fathers to provide the nec- essary public utilities for our needs. I believe we are the only municipality in Greater Vancou- ver that cannot boast of a well developed sportsground in which all games can be indulged, this certainly is in sad contrast to the heritage a bountiful nature has bestowed upon us. IVe have here as a fine a lot of boys and girls as may be found anywhere, full of energy; and what is be- ing done for them? The men and women who are our best cit- izens and successful in life are generally those who have learn- ed to play the game in their youth, and our youth of today will be our men and women of tomorrow. Let us rectify this oversight as quickly as possible, parents know what serious prob- lems confront them through lack of these facilities, our boys and girls have been forced tu seek-diversion-mr-the- highway and street corners which is the last thing calculated to develop good clean citizens. I would suggest that a meet- ing of all concerned: parents, sports clubs, clergy'nd service clubs, be called at an early date to met the Reeve and Council informally to discuss in a prelim- inary way some plan of develop- ment that will satisfy and co- ordinate all branches of sport in our community.

Chapman, a meeting has been arranged for next Friday, July 29t,h, at 8 p. m. in the Canadian Legion rooms, Ferry building, to which all interested in any way in the welfare and development of sports in IVest Vancouver are cordially invited. The points brought out in this letter show the need of some concerted action whereby the youth of the district can be served. The present and past councils have done wonders in the way of development, but there is one thing which has been greatly overlooked, that is the facilities and convenience for the play- ing of games and other forms of recreation. There should be a good representation of all local associa- tions at the meeting next Friday, so that the discussion and suggestions made will be productive of some constructive work in this respect.
