Hastings COUNCILLOR WATT DISCUSSES POSSIBILITY Watch, Clock and Jewelery Repairing The regular meeting of the Board of Trade was held last Monday night the president iu the chair. A letter was received from the North Vancouver City Council enclosing copy of a reso- lution "that the reeves of the North Shore Councils and presi- dents of the Boards of Trade join with them in an effort to get General Sutton to address a joint meeting on his return from the interior." The meeting went on record for favorable action. The question of outside con- cerns doing business in West Vancouver without a license was discussed and ultimately turned over to tthe Retail Merchants'ureau for investigation and re- port. The meeting went on record as being unanimously in favor of the road and bridge by-law, and urged their members to do all in their power towards the pass- ing of this law. Councillor Watt on being ask- ed for information regarding the Ambleside Beach development, said that nothing could be ex- pected in this matter in the im- mediate future. When the mat- ter of industries for West Van- couver came up, though, he said that he was in favor of suitable industries in suitable locations, and that there was one thing which had lately interested him, and that was a possibility which would be of priceless value to the North Shore generally and to West Vancouver particularly- the establishment of an airport on the Indian Reserve land. Mr. Watt said: "You will, of course, have not- iced that the whole of the Cap- ilano Indian Reserve lies contain- ed lvithin our municipal bound- ies and comprises quite an ex- nsive area, being about a mile nd a half long by an average epth of say three-quarters of 0 ile. These distances are rough ut conservative. It is under the ontrol of the Dominion Govern- ent and is today practically un- occupied. First of all let me say, that I am of the opinion that we will eventually be a big met- ropolitan area, and we must be careful in our conceit that we do not allow the opportunity to slip. Those who say we can get along nicely on our own, may be quite sincere, but I contend that they have not considered the future with its natural increase in expelulitures. Realising, how- ever, that these things come slowly, I have in mind a possible source of revenue for the future which might be a valuable prize when it comes to absorbing the area which is to be Vancouver."

BIRTHS IN GREATER VANCOUVER A RECORD A total of 2843 births in Great- er Vancouver during the first nine months of 1927 created 0 record in the history of the city, according to court house records, and came to almost double the number of deaths in that period, which totalled 1433.

CAPILANO REGISTERS HIGH NARK TUESDAY Capilano River and probably all of the creeks and streams of the North Shore were at their highest for this year Tuesday. The heavy rains over the week- end and on Monday, caused the Capilano to rise very rapidly.

In the human race the butcher holds the steaks. that has no smoke nuisance and is one which defies prophets to forecast its future, owing to its immensity of possibilities. Air transport the modern and pres- ent method. Your mind can con- jure up that place with its sea- planes, air liners, taxies, mail carriers, forest rangers, etc., etc. "I claim it is our duty, know- ing the possibilities, to courage- ously present a comprehensive scheme to our Federal Govern- ment to set aside this area for this purpose and to commence now to develop it into what seems to me to be the vety best situation for this air port oi Vancouver: Some of its advantages are: I.--Its Huge Area. II.--Its Natural Flatness. III.--Its Abundance of Fresh Water. IV.--Its Immediate Adjacency to Navigable Salt IVater. V.--Its Proximity to the City. VI.--The Possibility of Rail Terminals on Its East Boundary. VII.--The Wireless Positions on its North on the Ridge. VIII.--The Convenience of El- ectrical Energy Right on the Ground. IX.--Its Outlook to the Com- ing World's Markets in the Far East. X.--Its Strategic Position from a Naval and Military Point of View. XI.--Its Already Established Signal Station.

I do not believe there is one site anywhere To anything like compare with its possibilities unless it might be the filling in of False Creek and there are now too many obstruc- tions surrounding that area." "I would be pleased to act on a committee which would en- deavour to find ways and means of presenting the possibility to the proper quarters." A committee consisting of Col- onel W. K. Savory, J. T. TVatt. and IV. McQuaker was appointed to go into the matter tvith potver to act. Another committee made up of A. Ridley, Dr. J. E. I&nip- fel, Colonel W. K.
