Resampled001B6EC6 ihiarch 30, 1928. 1 h gi Correspondence ANOTHER BRAIN STORhi Don't Be Selfish--Let North Vancouver Have IL The Editor )Vest Van &Vs&vs: Sir: Last year I called attention in "The Province" to the nuisance caused to this shore by the quan- tities of fuel oil discharged by steamers leaving the Port of Vancouver. I am unaivare if our council took any movement in this mat- ter, but &ve are now faced I be- lieve with another serious men- ace to which it may not be out of place to call attention. I refer to the very large sew- er now being put down in the IVest End of the City. I am informed, though I cannot vouch for the accuracy of my informant that the outfall will be in "The ii'arrows," presumably some- where about the end of the pipe line road. If this is corect, what &vill become of the salmon going up the Capilano to spawn. Pois- oned, I should say, before they get to the mouth of the river. Imagine bathing too, at Holly- burn. Dundarave or )Vest Bay, with masses of crude sewage car- ried backwards and forwards on the tide, or the beaches with a thick fringe of sewage festering in the summer's sun. It is usual in most cities in the Old Country, to treat the sew- age, and discharge only the ef- fluent. In any case, the inhabi- tants of Kitsilano and English Bay are congratulating them- selves, that they are going to be rid of a very unpleasant, not to say obnoxious feature, but where do we come in, if such a project as this is carried out. Yours truly, E. J. ANTHONY. Dear Sir: Knowing that you have had some interest in the fur business I take the liberty of presenting vou with what seems to me a most wonderful business propos- ition, and in which no doubt you will take a lively interest, and perhaps wire me the amount of stock that you want to subscribe towards the formation of this company. The object of this company is to operate a large Cat Ranch in or near Ambleside, where land can be purchased cheap for this purpose. To start with. we &vill collect say about 100,000 cats. Each cat will average about twelve kittens a year. The skins run from 10c each for the white ones to 75c for the pure black. This will give us twelve million skins a year to sell at an average price of 30c each, making our rev- enue about S10,000 a day gross. A man can skin 50 cats per day for 83.00. It will take 100 men to operate the ranch and therefore the net profit will be 69,700.00 per day. We will feed the cats on rats and will start the rat ranch next door. The rats multiply four times as fast as the cats. If we start with one million rats we will have four rats per day for each cat, which will be plenty. Now then, we will feed the rats on the carcasses of the cats from whIch the skins will have been taken, giving each rat one fourth of a cat. It will thus be seen that the business will be self-supporting and automatic all the way through. The cats will eat the rats, the rats will eat the cats, and we will have the skins. Awaiting your prompt reply and trusting that you will ap- preciate the opportunity that I give you, and which will get you rich quick, I remain, Yours truly, wgVEST BAY" IVest Bay. Editor West Van News: IVith reference to an item ap- pearing in a recent issue under the heading an Original Epi- taph, the following inscription is cut on a tombstone in the churchyard at Ca)stock (Corn- wall) date late 17th century: Epitaph to a Blacksmith Ny Sledge and Anvil lay declin- ed, Ny Bellows Pipes have lost their wind hIy Fire's extinguished, Coal's decayed And in the dust my Vise is laid, My Iron is wrought. my Nails are driven hfy Work is done, my Soul's in Heaven. I venture to say that neither are original as undoubtedly they were both taken from the same source and that that similar in- scriptions can be found on tomb- stones in other parts of the uni- ve&'Se. We think the Nobel prize should go to the man who drank one hundred cups of coffee in an hour, and did not claim to have done it for the wife and kiddies. s v ~ Every man has his price, but few are worth it.

ASK INFORM- ATIOiV RE CAUSEWAY A letter came before Monday night's council meeting from the manager of the Burrard Inlet Tunnel and Bridge Co. enclosing a copy of a letter sent by that company to W. G. Swan in reply to his letter and plans for the proposed causeway and locks at the Second Narrows. They stated in the letter that such a proposition must in their opinion have the inherent quality of ben- efiting the harbor generally, the shipping interests, and all the municipalities concerned. The proposed p)an showed a bascule over each basin. They would like to be informed as to the width of the roadway por- tion of each bascule, and how long the lift would be open to al- low a vessel to pass through the locks. They also wished to know how much it would add to the cost of the project to provide means for vehicular and railway traffic being diverted to either end of the lock so that it could proceed without interruption. The council ordered the letter filed. Small pieces of raw potato over which a little shredded soap has been sprinkled make an ex- cellent remedy for a burn. FUSION OF NORTH VAN. CITY AND DISTRICT DISCUSSED Joint Police Force Opposed Amalgamation of North Van- couver city, and district, 0 joint police force, domestic gas ser- vice and fire protection for the district weve among subjects dis- cussed last Tuesday at a joint meeting of the North Vancou- ver city and district councils. Be- yond an expression of opinion, no decision was arrived at. Councillor H. W, Woods, of the district, brought up the question of amalgamation, and during the discussion several representativ- es suggested that these joint meetings were a prelude to it. Ald. W. A. Toimie went a step further when he favored event- ual amalgamation with Greater Vancouver. The question of a joint police force for the three municipalities on the North Shore mentioned by hiayor G. H. Morden, was not supported. Strong opposition was expressed against any sug- gestion of placing the North Shore under the jurisdiction of the provincial police.
