CORRESPONDEiVCE The )Vest Vancouver Liberal Association is giving a Valen- tme dance next Tuesday in Am- bleside Hall.

News: At the Ratepayers'eeting held Tuesday night several sug- gestions were offered as a solu- tion of the transportation prob- lem, but it was obvious that none of these could be effective for at least two or three years, and no suggestion was made as to how we should carry on in the meantime. In our rush hours the ferries are overcrowded, the busses dangerously so; more especially so on the days when the city stores have bargairi days. Per- haps a cheaper ticket, to be used outside of rush hours, might be issued to ladies who might in this way be persuaded to return home either earlier or later than the 5:15, etc. Not only would this relieve the dangerously crowded condition of the busses that meet the evening ferries, but also be a source of congrat- ulation to tired business men, who are deprived of their seats after a hard day's work by la- dies and children who might well return on an earlier boat. Of course we know that everyone likes to catch the No. 6 boat at 5:15, because it is the most com- fortable way of making an un- pleasant trip in bad weather. Mr. Watts advocates putting a new engine in the "Sonrisa." It is obvious that Mr. Watts is not a regular traveller on the ferries. It would be an instruc- tive experience for him to have to travel for a wet week on the top of No. 5 or the "Sonrisa." He could take his choice of go- ing down in the cabin and de- veloping a choice brand of head- ache from the bad atmosphere, or standing on top alongside the rail and getting trickles of cold rain water down his neck. After a week of this, he would break his neck, as we all do, to catch the No. 6; all of which goes to prove that we should have an- other ferry and thus distribute the traffic. Owing to our geo- graphical position, ferry trans- portation is going to be our cheapest means of transporta- tion for some years yet. Person- ally I shall refuse to vote for any road bylaw if there is not also a bylaw for a new ferry. The ferries provide. a highway for the majority of West Van- couver residents, and we should have a thoroughly adequate ser- vice. The number of apiglers fishing our streams has increased of re- cent years to such an extent that unless strenuous efforts are made game fish are in danger of becoming extinct. The gov- ernment authorities are doing their best, but they have con- stant calls for re-stocking from all over the province. In order to relieve the situation locally, the B. C. Anglers'ssociation has obtained a site from the Parks Board and permission from them to establish a trout hatchery at Beaver Lake, Stan- ley Park. The fish from this hatchery will be placed in the Capilano and other streams in the vicinity of Greater Vancou- ver. The Beaver Lake hatchery is to be built this year, and, in order to give those interested an opportunity of assisting in the work, the B. C. Anglers's- sociation is taking subscriptions. C. J. Overington, the well-known Ambleside barber, has one of the subscription lists, and subscrip- tions can be paid to him either by cash or cheque. All cheques should be made out to the B. C. Anglers'ssociation. I 0 BA DANCE The L O. B. A. is giving a dance next Thursday, February 16th in Ambleside Hall Good music wfll be provided and there will be refreshments. The dances of the L. O. B. A. have always been well attended, and the la- dies in charge of the dance as- sure us that this will be equal to any previously given by them. LEGION GIVES SUCCESSFUI. CONCERT AND DANCEWEST VAN.
