To the Editor, West Van News. Dear Sir: On the basis of the axiom that "it is better to call in the physi- cian before the patient has ex- pired" it may be desirable for the ratepayers of West Vancou- ver to give consideration to the proposal which is being enunci- ated by the Reeve and Council for-- 1. The widening of Marine Drive. 2. The re-building of the bridge over the Capilano. The proposal of the Reeve and Council is, I understand, that one by-law for $160,000.00 be submitted to the people, cover- ing the estimated expenditure for the above two purposes. Now each of these two objects are distinct in themselves. That is, the bridge can be rebuilt with- out the necessity of widening Marine Drive, and the widening of Marine Drive can be carried through without rebuilding the Capilano Bridge. Under our Canadian system of Municipal Government the rate- payers are those who have the say as to how and for what pur- pose funds are to be borrowed on the credit of Municipalities, and accordingly the law provides that by-laws for proposed ex- penditures shall first be submit- ted to the ratepayers, for their decision. If, therefore, only one by-law is submitted for consider- ation it will be impossible for the ratepayers to express their views in the matter. It can reasonably be expected that a large section of the rate- payers may be in favor of re- Formal Opening of the Dance Hall in connection with Dew Drop Inn ANO Green Snake Gardens takes place on Saturday, Aug. 27 Tea and Oofiee served.

They will have the alternative of either voting for the by-law which contains ex- penditures to which they are op- posed, or voting against the by- law which contains expenditure of which they are in favor. Now, therefore, has any Reeve and Council the right to endeav- our to coerce the ratepayers to a course of procedure as sug- gested by such Reeve and Coun- cil? It may be considered "smart and good politics" to combine the two expenditures in one by-law, because the great necessity of re-building the Cap- ilano Bridge will probably force the ratepayers to vote for the widening of Marine Drive. I am creditably informed that the reason for combining the two expenditures in one by-law is the reason above explained, and personally my vote will neither be dragooned by any Reeve and Council, nor my sup- port forced by any "cheap or smart politics." We desire no politics in our Municipal admin- istration but to develop along sound lines according to the wishes of the people responsible for the payment of the necessary expenditure. I think I am voicing the opin- ion of a large number of the ratepayers when I state that the rebuilding of the Capilano Bridge is a necessity, and that the widening of Marine Drive at the present time is not essential. Further, that Marine Drive meantime is sufficiently wide for safe traffic provided the speed limit is strictly enforced, partic- ularly as we have other parallel paved roads to relieve the local traffic on Marine Drive in the larger residential and business areas. Yours faithfully, J. HADYN YOUNG. In connection with the above letter a copy of which was sent to the council by Mr. Young, a resolution was passed by the council on Monday night to the effect that Mr. Young be advis- ed that he was laboring under a wrong impression as the ques- tion of the road and bridge by- law remains an open issue.
